I'm going to get a quote for a manifold back system from a local firm. If anyone else is interested let me know and I'll see if i can get some sort of group deal.
Glen - If you're reading this, is this something the club would maybe fund for members then to buy??

Hello Jason,
I know of a few people who have had bespoke systems made up over the years incl the 4-branch manifold. Janspeed (expensive) used to do a better version of the H120 manifold - I understand the Holbay one is not best shaped and was a compromise, so making one to a different spec maybe gave a little more BHP.
As to club getting involved; I'd like to say yes, but with recent springs purchases and the quarterlight seals being remanufactured there isn't enough cash at the moment. Need to sell a few seal sets when they are available; which should not be too long. I have a proof set awaiting collection from the Post Office and once tested I will post an update on the forum.
Keep us posted on what your local firm can do exhaust-wise. Cheers.
Glen. |

OK Glen will do. I have already received an eye watering quote from a firm online, £495 for the manifold and £450 for the system. I'm not too bothered about a manifold as I want to get mine ceramic coated. I'm fairly hopeful that the local firm can offer a better price but I'll let you know.

That's less than I paid twenty years ago. I'm assuming this is for stainless?

Yes it was stainless and gave the option of single or twin outlet - i'm undecided on that one!

Would you mind giving me the contact details?
I'm interested in a full T304 grade non magnetic stainless system including the manifold.
Many of these companies can "talk the talk" but finding one who can actually "walk the walk" is another matter. The exhaust system is pretty basic, the manifold is not.
I've had a qoute from a reputable company for £1000+ VAT. I've since discovered they did one for a GLS recently and made a right mess of it despite having the original to copy. |

This quote was obtained from a company on eBay but I have seen their work on a friends fastback and it was good, IIRC they made a manifold for them albeit not the 4 branch version.
The system is made from 304 stainless. I've sent another message asking a few questions for clarification, including whether they would do any group buy discount.
I'll let you know the answer!

OK, so they have now confirmed that the quote was for the 4 branch manifold. Single or twin outlet tailpipes are available at the same price and a 10% group buy discount has been offered.
How much interest is there?

| Hi guys,I would be interested in stainless 4 branch manifold and maybe adding exhaust at a later date although as with everything it would depend on prices as I also have a set of the new leaf springs and spax shockers all awaiting fitment, I look forward to any developments, cheers for all the info, Andy. |

I may be able to obtain these from a friend who used to have these made. Can't promise, but will see what I can do. Cheers.G |

Ok chaps quick update. I went to speak to the firm local to me who it turns out are longlife agents, they use non magnetic 304 grade stainless. He quoted £300 for the system and £450 for the manifold. He would not make the system to a pattern as I took for him to look at so a car would be required to go ahead, hopefully I can provide one soon!
Is anyone else interested in getting one?

Hi all, I'm new here and just got a Rapier Fastback and was thinking of getting a S/S performance exhaust. Are these or a Janspeed still available?
Thanks, Peter |

Was just wondering if it's still possible to get a S/S exhaust for the Fastback. Be good to get one.
I spoke to Janspeed and I think they said it might be possible if I got enough interest for them to make a special run but anyone got any other ideas?
Sorry for not posting a photo yet. Will do when it's sorted. Thanks for any help. |
