    just wondering if you guys would know if this manifold is any good and a guess at its brand. Its going for cheap and if the guy texts me back i might get it.

    It does look like the sportex manifold, but the sportex is mild steel not stainless as advertised on gumtree. So either its not sportex or the seller is lying lol

    Ah maybe he telling porky's then. Cause it Definately states stainless on the add. Then again in Texts he Doesnt come across as hugely knowledgeable about the item. I think i might leave that one.

    lol its not the point is it. A blow is a blow makes me feel like Im not running properly. And to be fair it a pretty shity blow. Makes my stainless sound like a snot machine. I know gaz is only joking though as he's seen it himself.

    I've got a loud back box on mine - baffles are gone. It's horrible doing long motorway journeys so I know how you feel.
