Title: Exhaust manifold
Post by: Bad Dog on December 29, 2020, 03:27
Any recommendations for sub £200 stainless decat manifold that is actually in stock ? Have found a few but they all want to email when in stock. Could do with one asap 😁

A quick, 2 minute fleabay search brought up Toyosports in stock at different sellers? I never went as far as completing the purchase but clicking buy now showed stock and delivery dates this month.

Are toyo sport manifolds any good ? Was really after one that has the two doughnut gaskets on the bottom join. And brackets for the Heatsheild

I've used Toyosports on a few cars.  They aren't the best, but they're not the worst.  I use the Toyota crush rings, with them, with good results.  The gasket supplied is best not used... although the composite one for the cylinder head actually works fine.

I wrap them too. (It does help keep the heat down in the engine bay.)  It might reduce the lifespan a bit - but for that price- who cares?

I've got one of the eBay ones surplus to requirements, if any use. Only a few months old.
