Magnex Manifold

7th June 2007, 18:47

Right, i've always been under the impression that these^ do not exist? im pretty sure its been discussed on here that they dont(tried searching without luck).

But, a guy selling a vts was insistant (sp)(word.lol) that he had one fitted! even though i suggested there was no such thing.
I should be going to view it sunday, but just wanted to make sure i am correct?

Thanks

didnt think they did make them, al check the magnex site!

if it is magnex, it will have a code stamped on it, raceland have a raceland badge welded on, my gmc has piper welded on with a code! so have a look at it when you go to see it!

never ever seen one, magnex only make exhausts for saxos from all the paperwork ive seen,

infact i didnt even think magnex made manifolds full stop

7th June 2007, 19:14

searched magnex site! answer is no.... they do not make them. that is according to the site! ask him if he fitted it or if its what the guy told him who he got it off

System Manifolds

For those committed to the ultimate on power gains, then a full Magnex system including a Manifold* a vital first step. Dyno-developed to deliver optimum gas flow with big gains in power, torque and driveability. Whatever you put in to your motor, Magnex will get out.

*Systems and Manifold available on selected car models only

thats from the magnex site

so basically only do them for some cars and not saxos

Magnex have indeed made manifolds in the past and they where Stainless steel and Very expensive . . .

. . . But never for the Saxo!

The made about 3, XR3i, 205GTi and Golf GTi 16v.
Your be hard pressed to find these today.

So whoever this wolly is just say 'Sorry Mate! You havent a Clue' then slap him! hehehehehe

Thing is he was probally so stupid he was sold the car with a manifold on it and was told it was a Magnex and he believed it

He didnt seem to know what he was talking about tbh.

Hes an old guy, said hes had it from new and so he wouldve got everything done. it was for his wife.

He sed:

its got a magnex manifold straight through to the back and iv put another 'box' in the middle because it was too loud before. lol

its got cams (what cams? i ask) kent cams! and 'verneer wheels' lol.

its got a 'cross bar' in the engine (strut brace) (whos it made by?) 'i dont know, but its red'

its got a 'ram air k&n induction kit'

its been chipped still got the original chip

its been lowered (how low? i ask) 'dont kno' (what springs? i say) 'dont kno'

sounds to me its quite obvious that it wasnt his? im still going to have a look sunday. its a 2000 reg on 30k mauritous blue. £3500 O.N.O.

ANy ideas or advice?

8th June 2007, 17:09

sorry double posted by mistake.

8th June 2007, 17:13

sounds dodgy to me, and if it is his he certainly don't have a bloody clue what he is taking about! lol

8th June 2007, 17:14

8th June 2007, 17:19

DOnt get me wrong, he was a nice chap! he owns a car hire company. its obvious hes just trying to make a sale. lol

i am still a bit wary though. its got 2 citroen stamps in service book and the rest done by him.

i am taking a mechanic with me for sure. how much lower do you rekon i could get the price? as it is 2000 reg?

8th June 2007, 17:32
