can someone supply me or tell me where i can get a stainless exhaust manifold for my car (zetec engine) i want it to run through the side panel ideally rather than through the bonnet but will consider either at the right price i would prefer a second hand one as im trying to keep the cost down because i just keep spending and spending and as the goverment think £2.60 is an appropriate minimum wage for an apprentice and my boss is tight, im struggling to keep up with the money.

Thanks

What engine are you running?

that is a very good question should of really mentioned that...

1800 zetec blacktop but it the same as all the zetec engines i believe

Get your self a s/h St170 manifold and modify it. I will be starting one this week. Its got big equal length primary's and will come out of the side panel.

whats the best way to modify it?

There is a guy on here that has done one but I cant find the pic's.

You need to cut the bottom of the exhaust where it turns under the engine and route it out of the side panel. There is one on ebay for £45 bin

I made just such a manifold in stainless quite cheaply, If you buy a pre-cut manifold blank off ebay and find an exhaust manufacturer they will often let you buy a selection of tube and bends. If you tack them together they will tig weld it for you.
It will save you loads.

GBS do probably the cheapest pre made side exit
