What Manifold?

**MadManMeasures** · 08-02-2011, 19:56

I'm looking at getting a tubular exhaust manifold but not too sure which to go for I was gonna spend around £200. I have looked at the apex type 2 and the Japspeed spec T, but I don’t know which would be better. Has anyone used either of these, are they good? Bad?

Cheers

h-dev's own one forsure

**MadManMeasures** · 08-02-2011, 20:13

The H-dev 1 looks nice!

Thanks matey

**Fordy** · 08-02-2011, 20:16

only one i know of that has dyno proven before and after results to back it up

**Chriscooke** · 08-02-2011, 20:21

H-dev one is my choice also but they are pretty hard to come by at the moment

**KamS14A** · 08-02-2011, 20:22

this is the part where H-dev create a group buy for us

**tricksieboy** · 08-02-2011, 20:26

horsam developments every time. brilliant fit and quality! and proven results too. Why are they hard to come by? do they not have any in stock??

**Chriscooke** · 08-02-2011, 20:30

Yep he's out of stock with no eta of arrival

I'm buying one second hand as that was the manifold I wanted

**sxowner** · 08-02-2011, 21:34

Another vote for HD type2, had one fitted for some time now and excellent fit and no probs. not sure about the extra hp, but sounds ace.

HDEV

OR

Apex type 2 i think it is:

These two, or one a similar style, db-power do one also. I wouldn't touch a Japspeed with a Ford fiesta

Ah that's a bollock, was going to buy one next month.

I've been using the h-dev manifold for 15000 miles with no signs of cracking.

**sxowner** · 08-02-2011, 21:48

I thought HD had two manifolds ? mk1 and mk2.

work2drift · 09-02-2011, 02:05

I think I'll be selling a brand new boxed apex type 2 manifold soon as change of plan I want top mount twin scroll

**MadManMeasures** · 09-02-2011, 06:58

Looks like a H-dev is definitely the one to get. If I can get 1 in time for the fast show

Cheers guys

**kingj** · 09-02-2011, 07:17

Ive never seen/used H-dev but I would avoid Apex personally

**dread** · 09-02-2011, 07:20

Last time I spoke to Jez, he reckoned he'd be getting some in at somepoint in February. I'm also waiting for one

I've had 2 APEX Manifolds. The mark 1 which cracked and practically shattered which was interesting. I replaced it with the type 2 which I currently have fitted, no problems so far. Im paranoid now though and regularly check the pipes and along the welds for any signs of a repeat.

**OdEssA** · 09-02-2011, 12:28

I have a APEX Type 1 manifold for about 5 years and more then 60k of driving with it and it never cracked.

**nitrodave** · 09-02-2011, 12:49

what power are you planning to run? i've always been on the understanding that anyhting under 300bhp is best achieved with a standard fanimold
