H13VYY 0 Posted April 20, 2009 Report Share Posted April 20, 2009 minimal gains unless your supercharged Link to post Share on other sites
sirleeofroy 0 Posted April 20, 2009 Author Report Share Posted April 20, 2009 ok, how comes? i mean i know its cheap so i wouldnt expect it to be pure quality... Link to post Share on other sites
sirleeofroy 0 Posted April 20, 2009 Author Report Share Posted April 20, 2009 cool, i'll take ur word for that, could you reccomend a manifold? im pretty much standard bar a chip and ported inlet manifold.... Link to post Share on other sites
Ben Seabrook 4 Posted April 20, 2009 Report Share Posted April 20, 2009 looks ok mate and they do give reasonable gains for the money - but by the time you have added the shipping charges to that one it would probably work out more expensive than this one http://cgi.ebay.co.uk/ws/eBayISAPI.dll?ViewItem&Item=130281250789&Category=9889&_trkparms=algo%3DLVI%26its%3DI%26otn%3D1 Link to post Share on other sites
sirleeofroy 0 Posted April 20, 2009 Author Report Share Posted April 20, 2009 yea i saw that 1, would prob swing for that but the 1 ive seen is 190 dollars to my door, not sure on the exchange rate tho...works out about 130quid..... not bad really Link to post Share on other sites
Ben Seabrook 4 Posted April 20, 2009 Report Share Posted April 20, 2009 does the shipping charges include duty/vat charges imposses by customs ? if not you will have to pay english VAT on the import price as well mate Link to post Share on other sites
sirleeofroy 0 Posted April 20, 2009 Author Report Share Posted April 20, 2009 thats a very valid point, cant really see anywhere where it says anythin about import tax tho.... might go for the 1 you suggested to save faffing around, what gains do you think i would realisticly see?

H13VYY 0 Posted April 20, 2009 Report Share Posted April 20, 2009 iv had one already on my previous vr...i fitted it along with a decat and the gains were minimal hence why i didn't both with them mods on my current vr until i go FI.Unless you got money to waste of course Link to post Share on other sites
Ben Seabrook 4 Posted April 20, 2009 Report Share Posted April 20, 2009 difficult to say for definite mate but plenty of peeps reckon between 10-15bhp gained but as said above it really helps if your running forced induction - also, I know it spoils the look, but you will want to heat wrap it before installation as well - http://cgi.ebay.co.uk/Exhaust-Manifold-Heat-Wrap-Bandage-50mm-wide-10M-ROLL_W0QQitemZ180347357364QQcmdZViewItemQQptZUK_CarsParts_Vehicles_CarParts_SM?hash=item180347357364&_trksid=p3286.c0.m14&_trkparms=72%3A1689%7C66%3A2%7C65%3A12%7C39%3A1%7C240%3A1318 a roll of that should do the trick Link to post Share on other sites
H13VYY 0 Posted April 20, 2009 Report Share Posted April 20, 2009 No way 10-15bhp increase on a n/a vr. I'd say 5bhp max. Link to post Share on other sites
sirleeofroy 0 Posted April 20, 2009 Author Report Share Posted April 20, 2009 cool, tho i must point out that im lookin at doin this as i have a crack in my present manifold and im thinkin ahead so im not entirely fussed about big gains right now although i am gonna stay n/a as a challenge and see how much i can squeeze out of the lump....
