ebay manifolds

[kb_pricevtr]

just wondering whats the score with these manifolds on ebay, they are pretty cheap and im guessing the only different between one of these and say a piper would be the quality but is there anyone on here who has had one?

I bought the manifold you have in the link a couple of months ago.

I had to get it changed back because my MOT this week and I have noticed a bit of difference when going past 4000 rpm.

It seems to be okay since I have had it so it wouldn't be a bad purchase.

[kb_pricevtr]

did it go on ok? and miss the oil filter

Thats not an 'ebay manifold' its a toyosport, they just have an Ebay store.
Its a decent bit of kit. You will get a decent midrange gain from it and throttle response is improved to.

I have one thats done 40K now, no cracks, no holes blown into it and the weld seemed pretty good on it. Its cheap as they sell loads of them and it wasnt 'designed' as such, they used a design already developed by scorpion *i think* There is a mild steel manifold you could buy early 2000s that is the same design.

Ive had a raceland and a supersprint, and though the supersprint was slightly better built, you really cant argue with this, simply for the price, you could buy 3 of these for the price of a S/S

[m4tt274]

And yeah, the one i bought fitted fine, missed the filter and didnt put any dash lights on.

[kb_pricevtr]

i titled it because i couldnt remember toyosports but cheers! tidy:y: , that'll be my next purchase then.

[Ryancoyle]

Yeah mines is Toyosport as well.

It missed the filter too.

[kb_pricevtr]

would you recommend them? mines a mk2 vtr

[Ryancoyle]

would you recommend them? mines a mk2 vtr

Yeah I would recommend it.

No point paying a fortune for a i.e. Supersprint mani for no noticeable difference.

Nicer noise as well from the exhaust system depending on what you have.

tidy mate:fcuk:
i agree, cant really justify spending loads on a manifold, got a sportex system with a sportex mani atm but after a saxsport

[Ryancoyle]

I would be tempted to sell you my one as I am selling the car in August but I'm thinking of putting it back on

i also have one of these fitted and have no complaints at the mo and been fitted for bout a year. fitting was pretty easy too all lined up fine and oil filter has no problems either and has 2 lamba holes too. for the price i cant complain bout it

generally good feedback about these then!!

[m4tt274]

you get some people with slightly bigger budgets buying supersprints or pipers and justify them but being honest, on a VTR engine the gains arent worth the extra cost, this mani will do exactly what the others will do.
And, if you keep the receipt they are pretty decent when it comes to customer service.

I nearly bought one of these but got offered a supersprint for about £150 so took that instead :fcuk: , the toyosport are just as good from what i have heard :y:

[Sophia_Bush]

if you are getting a toyorsport one for a mk2 then there are 2 types the one in link which is a sportex copy and the other is the one matt has on his sport cat centre section which imo is the proper 4-1 version which is the one I would have if I needed one.

Obv got the mk1 toyosport one which is the raceland one but otherwise quite a few designs out now

[m4tt274]

sportex copy! thats the one. And, i have the 4/2/1 version as shown in the link, ran with a supersprint. i have a couple different ones tbf.
It actually does sound the tits, but i would imagine its because of the back box.

anychance of linking me the one you bought? for the mk2 that is, dont want to change the filter

[marcusd]

what you have linked is the mark 2 version

[m4tt274]

Its the one you have linked.

It will fit phase 2. It misses the oil filter, has two sensor holes and will bolt to the midpipe on the standard fitment.

[kb_pricevtr]

mintttttttttt... just picked up my saxsport tonight, still sellotape on it, not been on a car and even came with receipts and the fitting kit, not bad for £150 quid!! will be buying a new mani next week and heat wrapping!!!

[Middo_94]

Ive got this mani on my vtr along with saxsport and airfilter and its running 105bhp aint bad for an engine thats done 130k lol

[mof]

The saxsport with a decat mani will be really screamy! sound a bit Vtec ish!

[kb_pricevtr]

Yeah that's what I'm hoping for, got to live the rasp

[jgb-furio]

bought that exact one last week. had it fitted two days ago. no prblems easy fit!! sounds better and bit more power mid and upper :) no complaints yet!
