182 manifold

[benm172]

how much would ppl on here be willing to pay for a 182 manifold and is it a hard job to fit to a 172?

 

[FlameR]

I'd pay around 250-300 for second hand one. apparently its a bit of a pain to fit

 

[benm172]

nice one ste i know you have to alter the cat to suit.
nice car ste you on the rivington meet on friday?

 

[FlameR]

cheers pal. I'm not sure about the meet yet. I'll have to see nearer friday. Will be good to meet some peeps if I do though take it you'll be going??

 

[benm172]

A few on here have done it and reading their posts it doesn't really seem worthwhile for the costs and hassle involved

 

[LRTom]

I'll give you £100?

 

[benm172]

worthwhile mod are not? all opinions welcome pls.

Probably a more worth while mod than the one on the other side of the engine

 

[benm172]

well i thought if i can get 1 for around £250 its worth the money for 10 bhp

As far as I know the main benefit is more torque lower down. Cutting the exhaust/cat back is expensive and I personally don't think the cost is worth the gains!

Me and Kully have very similar mods, he has the 182 exhaust manifold and made about 3bhp more.

 

[benm172]

wat mods do you have nigel?

 

[benm172]

any1 else on here have 1 fitted to a 172 are no any1 that does?
what experience have they had?

 

[Nigel]

I just have decat, yozza exhaust, inlets matched and remap.

Kully's cup is slightly quicker than mine but to be honest I think thats down to less weight than the manifold!

 

[benm172]

and wat bhp was it when you had it rolling roaded?

 

[benm172]

do i have to take the engine out to fit a new manifold?
