   I heard that these are the same as the GMC ones.
   
   Whether its the same pattern or just that they are 4-1 also I'm not sure

   Cheers guys
   
   Supersprint manifolds are around that kinda price too.
   
   Yer I must agree they are quite abit more than GMC's and ALOT ALOT more than what KamRacing can supply me with a RaceLand item.
   
   Just want to compair what my optionsa are, as Im just waiting for a payment on my Credit Card to clear so I can order me a Manifold to replace my Cracked and blowin item

   I think the primaries on the Piper are shorter than the GMC one. Theres a lad on SSC whos car Piper developed the 4-1 on.

   I would prefer to pay the extra on the Piper. Not many people have it so you will be that little bit different!

    aren't they around £300+ though?
    Thats a lot to pay for some exclusivety without massive performance gains over other performance manifolds.
    
    Could put the change to additional mods which may make a better overall package.
