    Duratec Exhaust manifold

    I'm at the point where i need to get my hands on one of these

    Heard good things about the tony law exhausts - they certainly look good but are mild steel and £625



    Burtons sell a 304 simpson manifold:



    And the retroford one (looks very long)



    Any other sources? Anyone got experience?

    I also have an interest in this, at £600+ i would want something stainless
    The retro ford one looks pretty cool

    Duratec Exhaust manifold

    Sbd one is also supposed to be good. I am looking at Ashley mild steel for now. On a pinto they perform just as well as the “Gucci” ones. Depends whether you need every ounce of power.

    Unfortunately SBD only sell the plans for the manifold they designed now which is a really shame

    Yes they where, I spoke with BTB at the time and unfortunately because the orders have dried up they have disposed of the jig

    The Simpson manifolds I've seen are a very nice peice of kit, very well finished. A relation has one from them on a v8 hyabusa and wow it's stunning !!

    The Simpson manifold has got to be the best off the shelf option
