whats the cost of them compared to a custom one?

It's not so much the cost, it's the rarity of them. Mugen's can go for up to £400, same for the Fujitisubo, which is similar. The Hytech's are probably the rarest in this country simply because they're that expensive. You can pay £800+ for a used one, but then you'll have to import it from America. They are rated the best though.

I had a custom one made by these guys...

But yeah, they're not local. Worth it though ;-) ...

I'd say you shouldn't be paying much more than £400 for a standard looking custom exhaust manifold in this country though. There are a lot of variables though.

Yep, it's mine. I think the guy would normally charge about £900 or so for one.

A few members have got Solid Fabrication exhausts and manifolds. It'd be worth giving them a try.

No chance! :lol:

Yeah. Not a major deal if you're set up for it, but yes the cross member needs to be notched slightly.
