Don't think there's a market for it to be honest. The T2 is a bit wimpy and will become a restriction well before the manifold does.

If it aint broke mate don't fix it. The T2 will suffice for now. Where do you want to push the car to?

why would you want a tubular exhaust manifold for a t3, the std cvh manifold has been proven at over 1.8bar and over 370bhp! it flows alot lot better than people give it credit for!

So you wouldn't want more response? Quicker spool up?

The T2 spools up nice and early anyaway so I wouldn't worry. 200bhp is quite achievable with that blower.

Whcih Piper cam are you going for as the T2 really isn't suited to the T2, personally I think it's a pants cam, makes a good paperweight. the normal 285 is pretty ok but my cash would go on a Kent CVH34 (iirc for T2) or a nice Newman
