Equal length manifold

[beattie17]

Am wanting to get an equal length manifold for stock location ko3/ko3s etc

Does any1 else make them other than jbs? Cause £650plus vat is a fair bit for just a manifold.

looks very neat and tidy, the input and output diameters look abit small to my atp one, but that might just be the pic also would depend on warrenty for me and as he said claims could take up to four weeks!!! long time if it cracks

it is a fair bit, but its back to the same old thing "buy cheap, buy twice" my ATP one was a pile of shite, everyone who i know that has had one seems to have have had a problem, mostly with cracks. JBS one is quality and your going to get top class service.

If it cracks weld it.

Dont by that piece of crap from ebay. Have been some bad things said about the quality of xs stuff. £299.99 for a quality equal length mani sounds too good to be true so prbably is. Dont think jbs are doing equal length for k03/4 for much longer- focusing on the tubular mani thats not equal I think. Any how you might want to check out this thread aswell.

That one wont fit anyway.

Get one from Kinetic motorsport, cheaper and better than ATP's log version according to Vortex. Costs about 200 dollars plus postage so its pretty cheap.

Ive had my atp manifold on for about 10k now, and touch wood no cracks, i can see.
So only option for equal length is jbs's

Hello,

We also offer the K03 tubular collected design which is £450+VAT with fantastic gains.

The manifold from XS power worries me it is very cheap a tubular design manifold - They are using 304 stainless steel where we are using a higher grade of 316L which is a low carbon form of 316.

316 is Similar to 304 but gives higher resistance to general corrosion in non-oxidising acids. Gives higher resistance to pitting and crevice corrosion and has higher strength at elevated temperatures.

it is a fair bit, but its back to the same old thing "buy cheap, buy twice" my ATP one was a pile of shite, everyone who i know that has had one seems to have have had a problem, mostly with cracks. JBS one is quality and your going to get top class service.

We have used the ATP cast manifolds in the past and every single one we fitted to a car ended up cracking! This is one of the main reasons why we design and build our own manifolds.

These seem to keep with the cast type manifolds which again you will still have problems with hairline factures at the flanges.

I hope this helps

Got any pics of this or the k04 version mike?

To be truthful, if i was going to upgrade from atp, it would definatley be to an equal length one

That can't be a JBS manifold?? They said there's were made from 316 stainless which shouldn't corrode like that!!!

 

[rogers]

with heat im sure everything would go like that after time,

 

[cuprabaz]

Never seen rust spots like that before on 316.

I've had a large bore cast manifold on for over a year now and it's crack free so far.

Here was mine after 7500 miles (on K03S pushed to the limit)

 

[cuprabaz]

That's just a hairline crack It'll be fine
