Something i've spotted recently Matt is one seller quoting something like $42 shipping to the UK. What they say later in the small print is you're responsible for customs and import duty. On it's own that is "quoted" at between $80-150 which suddenly makes their deal much less attractive!

Try this one, US $239.00 Approximately £169.46 for the manifold, US $150.00 (approx. £106.35) for shipping :

That would be good Matt, maybe your seller will be more willing to do a deal. :D

Shipping costs are shipping costs Matt, yes but surely it costs less to ship half a dozen manifolds in one crate than several separately. Oh well, 'tis their loss of getting a big order.

This seems to have died a death. Did anyone ever purchase one of these manifolds?

Nothing ever came of it as the seller wasn't willing to negotiate with his supplier to ship several in one crate. As such we couldn't get a sensible price on shipping or any discount on buying 6 in one go.

The main problem was that the seller is drop-shipping. He holds no stock, just sells the product. When he gets an order, he then orders from his supplier who sends the product to the victim - err, customer even. Meanwhile the seller gets the difference between what he sells it for and what the supplier charges him.

We (that is Dusan on behalf of the people interested) even contacted the manufacturer to try and buy 6 of these and get them shipped as one consignment to the UK. In short they referred us to their sales network.

As far as i know, nobody in the UK has bought one of these yet although they rate quite well on various Acura/Honda tuning fora stateside.
Cheers,
Dave

yeah, it was hard work trying to get a deal out of any of the yank companies selling them, I'm still up for them, but its a shame we haven't got someone living there so we could get sent to one address and then sent to the uk or something similar, they do have good reviews on the forums like dave says, the bore sizes are not much bigger than standard according to jago, but they are better flowing and would give a good gain with a decent system added to it.

Don't forget the "fit'n'forget" of the fact they're stainless Matt!

I'm once again thinking of a set of these for my Sterling, the front pipes are definitely passed their "Use By" date on that! Can probably scrape another MoT pass again this year with dog-food tins and Jubilee clips but only if i'm lucky!

Granted front pipes can be picked up on fleabay for about £46 inc fitting kit (gaskets) but the studs in the downpipe flange on the manifolds will almost certainly need renewal too but the bug-bear is how long will a set of mild steel replacement front pipes last and will they even be available next time it needs one? :shock:

Dave

Came back at about £300 delivered. Tempting.

You might get that a bit cheaper if you have a look on ebay.com instead of ebay.co.uk as there are usually more sellers listing it. :wink: :D
