Fireblade BEC Manifold suppliers

Can anyone point me in the direction of were I can get an exhaust manifold for a 919 Fireblade for a BEC install from?

I have heard that MK do one but there is no info on there website, can anyone confirm this and tell me how much they cost?

Does anyone else know of any company that supplies such a manifold? Its a standard '7' type layout car, just want a manifold so that I can get on and mount the engine when it arrives.

Also if anyone has one secondhand I'd be interested.

try This MNR Linky

Not sure it will fit a MK, but they do have it listed with a price, which is really nice.

Cheers for the link, £325 looks fine.

The car isn't actually an MK, its not really an anything. It's generally known a the T89 Life-Taker MK1 around my garage

There are two Mk companies one is MK sportscars the other MK engineering, your car the MK Indy comes from MK sportcars, MK engineering is a seperate company Martin Keenan runs MK Engineering his Brother Runs Sportcars wit a partner.

MArtin is the man behind the design of the MK Indy which he sold on, so he knows all dimensions for the MK Indy and he makes excellent products

Has anyone bought a Fireblade exhaust from Aries motorsport?

The system seems well priced at £340 and they are only about 3 miles away from me.

If you want a good exhaust I would go to Tony Law exhausts (close to Leeds). He will make a bespoke one to fit your car that will also be very high performance (racers use him alot). Price is much cheaper than you think too (around £400). If they are too far away, Andy at AB performance knows the right dimensions to allow a custom exhaust to be made by an alternative supplier who is close to you.

I would personally stay clear of "off the shelf" parts from kit car suppliers. They will work but are invariably nowhere near optimum in terms of tubes sizes and tuned lengths to optimise your power.

Cheers

Google tube engineering, cut out the middle man.

I paid £250 for a 4-2-1 for a Hayabusa fury. BGH wanted £495 not a bad mark-up!

You can ask for a 'normal' manifold or for a proper one.

Hi

Second Prodgers post above. Off the shelf stuff is made to a price not for performance.

Cheers Matt
