Very interesting design that eliminates the squish pipes within the design of the manifold. I wonder how much they've tested the design to see what difference it makes.

What do you class as silly money?
Can't remember what the larini manifolds cost, but can't imagine these costing any less that a grand a set, that's £10K!

Larini manifolds are £4k a pair, the same as a pair of genuine Euro-spec 4200 maifolds (which are allegedly better flowing than the Larinis)

I'd want to know that these manifolds were making a positive difference before I invested as the labour to change them is quite considerable and not a DIY job.

Also these Aussie manifolds maybe problematic being so close to other engine components.
Last thing you want is them knocking and don't forget the tremendous heat too.
The original manifolds being double skinned was for a reason no doubt, although the US spec. are not I believe.

They look ace. If the price is not too much, I'll have a set Matt.

There is a mention of being ceramic coated, this should dissapate the heat nicely and they do look the business..!! The only issue would be cats, we do need them over here to stay legal, unless we have a bent MOT station and they mainly don't exist anymore..!!

Surely ceramics are *insulators*?

Exactly, there was a concern about heat from these, but if they are insulated that worry should dissapate..!!
