Thrustyjust Posted November 16, 2004 Share Posted November 16, 2004 If you know what you want and dimensions,then can heartily recommend JP exhausts to make a new one up.Very reasonably price too. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Andoid Posted November 19, 2004 Share Posted November 19, 2004 Jon I have been searching for a while for a used manifold and unfortunately the only ones that came up were similar to the old thing I currently have! I have now decided to put my hand in my pocket and have one made, at least then it will definately fit and exit in the correct place! A company in Northants are charging 400+vat for a 4-2-1 in S/S Not cheap but should look/do the business and not need replacing for a long time.

speedy jon Posted November 25, 2004 Author Share Posted November 25, 2004 hi rich, thats the sort of maifold im looking for. would that fit fine in a westy? would you sell it? if so how much? thanks Jon Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
rich101 Posted November 30, 2004 Share Posted November 30, 2004 Hi Jon, What type of westy do you have?? The manifold is from a wide body, buts it's a none starter for the narrow body cars. Rich Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Doug D. Posted November 30, 2004 Share Posted November 30, 2004 The manifold is from a wide body, buts it's a none starter for the narrow body cars. It should fit a narrow body car as well,In fact it would probably fit better than the the proper narrow body one, which i'm currently trying to fit to my car...it exits too close to the body and needs modifying to fit properly apparently i'm not the first one to have this problem?

rich101 Posted December 1, 2004 Share Posted December 1, 2004 Hi Doug, Apparently there'd be problems trying to get the wide version to fit because of the extra/different braces on the narrow body, unless there are different versions of it. Which is completely possible I guess!! Rich Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
pheatons3 Posted December 1, 2004 Share Posted December 1, 2004 Jon, I can't tell from the posts if you are still looking for a X/Flow manifold. If you are, I have brand new Westfield stainless 4 branch manifold I bought for my Narrow Body SE. I am about to replace x/flow with a XE and therefore (if the XE fits into the car) the manifold will be up for sale. Looking for £200. I also have a non stainless 4 branch manifold on the car which will also go up for sale at £100. £150 if you want the complete system. I can do photos if your interested.

speedy jon Posted December 2, 2004 Author Share Posted December 2, 2004 hi Paul, i have a SEiW, yeh im still interested in the manifold.my dad is tryin to make 1 but at the moment we have had a few problems in gettin it to fit. can i have a look at a few pictures of both stainless and non stainless manifolds? how much difference would there be between a SE narrow and a wide body manifold? how much did u buy the manifold from westfield? thanks Jon Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
pheatons3 Posted December 2, 2004 Share Posted December 2, 2004 Jon, I have taken some photo but don't know how to insert them into this? If you PM me your email address I will forward them to you. No one every asked me if it was a narrow or wide body when I purchased the manifold. Didn't know there was a difference but on measuring there is. The one fitted to the car and purchased with the kit is about 17 inches from the engine to centre of the exhaust pipe. The Stainless manifold bought a couple of years ago and never fitted is approx 19-20 inches from the engine to the centre of the exhaust. I have taken the photos with a tape measure in the picture so you can see the difference. Paul Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
