Hi,
I recently had my inlet/outlet manifold recoated by Zirotech, but was not happy with the finish as the manifold was quite pitted, so i decided to open up a can of worms and upgrade my single zenith carb to the twin SU's but wanted a custom inlet/outlet manifold. Haywood and scott made one for me, but suggested i upgrade the exsisting stainless pipe as it was only 1.5 inch and the manifold was 2 inch, which i did, sounds great and increased my hp by 20!

It looks like it has stock exhaust manifold on it.

Could someone who has experience please advice. Is there a better system that produces a nice sound on acceleration that will note drone? I could not find much for the amazon.

Is it a question of having a custom system made and if so could you advice a place. I have had bad experiences with other cars where they have made an awful system.

Thanks

Hi. Thanks for the info.
How much did they charge for the custom inlet and outlet manifold?
Did they make you a stainless steel exhaust manifold?

Hi there
It was a fair bit of money.
For the custom manifold it was 1250 then the exhaust was 650

it’s running it’s got a really dense burble, brilliant exhaust that’s I’ve kept since doing a resto on the car. Motor is over 2ltr twin carb
