I have not seen any of there work up close for a few years. But what I have seen the words cheap and nasty are what I think of. There is no point trying to skimp on performance parts.

y do u say that?
y do u say that?
from a few people i have known to use ashely they have needed constant refitting to get them to sit right, and have generally just been a pain in the arse.

set off speeds?
you mean low down power/?
for the price id say go for it, its that or the raceland,
the manifold should be alot harder to mess up than the exhaust 2bh

i meant if the systems are good then dont see why the manifold wouldn't be! maybe i should have added that in lol :oops:
an also i bet its better than those racelands bar its not stainless!

i had a ashley manifold on a vtr, fitted fine just had a problem where it joined a magnex de-cat so had to get the correct fitting from a garage then they did for nothing and it was fine. got ashley exhauast on my vts fitment is a bit dodgy. but sounds good and feels less restricted.

the thing to consider with the ashley manifold is that its a competition item. Performance and lightness are key, not longevity.
Personally I'd get a manifold in stainless as changing them isn't a 10min job.. the rest of the exhaust is so that's where I'd save weight on a competition system

i have a full ashley system on my vts and it was ace, as already stated they go for performance and lightness... not how long is it going to last
Defo recommend Ashley to anyone, in my opinion much better then the Raceland manifold

I had a Ashley Manifold and full system on a Mk3 XR2i cvh and it was very good performance wise, took three attempts to get it sitting right over the space of a month if I remember correctly :oops:
Personally I either save money and get a RaceLand item or spend more and go SuperSprint or change to 4-1 and go Piper, got my 4-1 from www.speedbox.co.uk for under £300 Bargin
