What does TMS charge to remove the OEM manifold and fit the new one?

£3,000 + VAT

I'll do it for £100 discount, £2900

Who said we were going to sue, naff all chance of winning that.

However, i do not take this lightly so we've spoken to another supplier who we've worked with in the past and we will be re-releasing our 4-1 and I will sell it a massive loss just to make a point.

£200 each, incl VAT.

Hi,

Will this manifold fit the 2.2 as advertised on your website for £1175?

If so I would like to order one of these as well please!..

I called into Tullets last week to get a price for a silencer for my Striker, £450 + VAT, think i will go back to RS Fabrication in Banbury who did my last one as they are at least £100 cheaper and the quality is superb.

[Strugs]

Right.. I have standard NA (engine-wise anyways..) and a VSE back box. Is there any point in getting a different manifold (TMS/Tullett/whoever..)? If I was to intend supercharging in the future, would there be a point then?

[The Batman]

for £200 do it....... but still im not holding my breath for this too happen no matter how much you hate someone you are not going to loose over 12k to try and get back at him unless you have some serious money to go wee wee up the wall

Ok, it's cheap (if it happens).. but £200 is still a lot if it's going to add f**k all to power/driveability/enjoyment..?

As funny as it is to keep adding names to this list, I feel that John might be getting exploited here for making a silly remark! John's a shrewd business man, and will not go through with this ludicrous group buy. In the meant time Tullet are making no money, so John is happy to leave this list run.....

[vocky]

as the standard z22se exhaust manifold is so restrictive a 4-1 tubular manifold will show bhp gains, even on a standard engine.

generally 5-10 bhp can be expected

Shouldn't worry mate. You'll probably just find that the thread gets locked!

Well its a £16+ loss at the moment just on this list alone...

People on it will either get a manifold or excuses!

but to manufacture 40+ custom manifolds is not going to be an 'overnight' job, christ I waited 4 weeks for Larini to do 1 backbox!!!

So we will see either people will get the product at the price promised, or you'll know it was all talk!

My word is my bond, seems like that doesn't apply to Tullet.

Time will tell...

[Muncher]

No but it doesn't take long to manufacture one, the jig is already made, yet noone has a manifold...

£16k loss thats just funny!

[Yellow_or_black?]

It's not though is it. It was obvious a while back what the game was, and it has finally been elucidated above ie that whilst people wait and hope for this bargain to come off, business isn't being put Tullett's (or anyone else's) way. How long is too long to wait? Is anyone going to risk dropping of the list, and potentially missing out on a bargain?

Either the items won't manifoldfest themselves, or Thorney will find someone to manufacture them for less than £200 (don't forget, you don't have a spec for it; it could be utter rubbish) - I have no idea what the production cost of a manifold is. No sensible business man worth his salt would even propose to take a financial hit that substantial, without knowing exactly what they were doing.
