That is the most expensive I have ever heard of, but they are supposed to be the daddy. But bear in mind they are built for massive spec engines and would probably perform poorly on a mildy modified xflow. Neil at 105speed does beautiful stainless steel items. I made my own manifold and exhaust, see the two links in the 'How to Guides'.

I had my manifold made by Powerspeed Manifolds, they made merge collectors as shown in the link above, they can replicate a mass manifold if you wish. Price is approx £250+vat. Don't forget that price is fitted so you do nothing, unlike others that land on your door step then you spend the rest of the weekend skining your nuckles in the freezing cold :mrgreen:

 

Here's a random pic of what looks like a crossflow manifold taken from there website;

They look very nice and reasonably priced :thumbsup:

 

It looks a bit like the 105-speed one.

 

That's not a merge collector though but I see some on the sight that are.

I know the one in the picture is not but I specified one on mine including exact lenghts and diameters of the pipe, most of which they disagreed with but as they say the customer is always right ! :mrgreen:

1-0-5-speed all day long-big bunch of bananas in stainless with lifetime guarantee-all for about £250-they also do a rather nice matching 2" system that fits exactly where it should so no 6 hours making the damn things fit unlike others. :wink:

Wayne, Is that the place where Brian Feast worked? he's my mates old man :wink:

could be. daves side kick was a bit of a biker looking chap. he might have stayed with the new owner when dave sold up. not sure what went wrong its a shame it went tits up

If you have you battery tray under the bonnet youll either have to move the battery to the boot, or modify it like i did :D See above link for step by step photos

Manifold looks great :thumbsup: but for the same money you could have one custom made that actually fits your car and you don't have to lift a finger !! Thats a lot of work just to fit a manifold :o

 

Is that the 105speed manifold, isn't it originally designed to fit the Anglia ? Does look good though nice one :)

105.Speed do two manifolds for the Escort, a Mass Style one, which doesnt fit with the battery tray, but then neither would a genuine Mass one, and one designed to fit cars with a battery tray. Both are specifically designed to fit the escort. The new Mass ones are being made by Tony Law apparently'.
