Best BEC manifold producer
MK9R - 24/9/10 at 03:07 PM

In readiness for the R1 heart transplant, who is the best people/person to get to make me the manifold, price is a consideration, but performance is the most important factor

If performance wins over cost give Andy Bates a call

Near Andy. Suffolk-ish?

Progers' advice to me was do some research on spec then get someone local to make it from mild (lighter than 304) steel.

I've got as far as sussing that it needs to be 4-2-1. Why not drop Josh a line and see where his came from?

Dans looks nice, and his car doesn't half shift!!!! Will have a look around at Oulton

Tube engineering, they can do what ever you want and for a good price too.

Mr Cheney, your assumption is wrong,
just to correct you, we have been building our own tuned length headers and silencers in tig welded stainless for 3 years now, when I was sidecar racing I did indeed use mr Paravanni but the bottom line was we do not have the time to lose the car for 3 weeks at a time so all of the pipes you now see are built here in house.
To this end we have just invested in £6ks worth of state of the art Tig just to produce the systems.
Best regards
Andy

I know 907 does exhaust systems, does he do manifolds as well, as I may need to know for my own project.

Mr Bates,
Please accept my heart-felt apology! Its obviously been a while since we talked about exhausts.

I like Paul Gooderham (907), he will make a manifold however you want it and very very good they are to, the reason for saying Andy Bates is that he will know what tuned lengths you need, then make it for you.
Both are in the same ish area.
