I’m running Janspeed backbox now and wanna upgrade the manifolds as well as sports Cats, however Janspeed seems going out of business, so it would be grateful if someone could tell me anywhere else i might able to get it, many tks.

I had one bespoke made for the 21 by a french chap that runs FBI motors. Its not a toxicfab standard, or like something a top class Evo build would use BUT for the price its very good. It cost half what I would pay for an Evo one.
I'll ask him if he does anything for the vee if you like.
 
Tks pal and tks for your sharing, seems nice workmanship from the pic, it's made by cast iron, right? It would be grateful if you could ask did they do anything to the vee, always thinking increase torque by equip a upgrade manifolds [smilie=yay.gif]

Hey pal,

Would be very grateful if someone could tell me where i can get the upgrade exhaust manifolds. thanks. ;)
 
In my opinion and speaking from experience regarding a split cat and fire on a vee, I wouldn't want anything but the very best welding and good materials to be used for a manifold setup. Its just not worth the risk of 1, having a crack form on a very tricky to fit/remove part, 2 having a part crack/fail and set light to your car (it happens!) and 3, fail and give you carbon monoxide poisoning (both happened to me!). Is it worth getting a manifold and cat removal/replacement? Absolutly in my opinion!!!! I noticed no difference getting rid of the cats in the collector pipe. However, when i removed the first pair of cats it transformed the car. MUCH more eager to rev and picked up much better.
