Powerspeed (Exhaust Makers)
Hi All,
Has anyone got any experience of these guys?
I spoke to them on the phone and they sound very nice and knowledgeable.
They say they can squeeze an extra 10 - 15 bhp out of my 929 engine and increase my tourqe by about 10ftlbs.
They quoted about £550 + VAT for a stainless steel system (manifold down to modded R1 can only).
How does this price sound? This is for a 4-2-1 system BTW

I got my system made there. A bit pricey (mine was £1000 but that was including headers on my V6)
Good quality and customer service imo.
Cheers,
Raz

Id say a little optimistic too, maybe 5-10bhp compared to stock bike exhausts that often have EXUP type solenoid flaps to comply with road noise /
emission regs etc, but you wont gain 10-15bhp compared to most other 4-2-1 manifolds you can buy / get made for a kit car.
£550+VAT sounds reasonable though for a custom built manifold made to measure on your car TBH, but if its an off-the-shelf item built on a jig its
expensive.

Optomistic on the power but price seems reasonable.
You would be suprised at just the cost of the stainless and there will be quite a few man hours going into a one of manifold like that.

They built the complete stainless system on my Dax V8. They were about a grand approx 4 years ago.

They made up the headers for the V8 in my Cobra. Great work & very capable/friendly. Would certainly recommend them
