TEMPERZ Posted September 14, 2012 Author Posted September 14, 2012 What manifolds did you have fitted Ian??? Well if they don't live up to expectations I'll just have to live with the stock ones till a bit more £££ is available Quote
rtbiscuit Posted September 14, 2012 Posted September 14, 2012 as long as the build quality is better than japseed you should be alright, and the fact your self fitting makes a big difference. for people paying others to fit them its about a 10-12 hour labour job. so most people really don;t want to have to do it again to either replace them or fix them.

I reckon I could put a set together that is better quality than crapspeed Quote
Dblock Posted September 14, 2012 Posted September 14, 2012 Megan is usually the USA's japspeed. The japspeed stuff is DC sports copies. Quote
rtbiscuit Posted September 14, 2012 Posted September 14, 2012 I reckon I could put a set together that is better quality than crapspeed loo roll centres and gaffa tape would do a better job than crap speed. in fact you'd probably have more reliabilty if they were made of chocolate Quote
TEMPERZ Posted September 14, 2012 Author Posted September 14, 2012 Japspeed lovers come together lol! I'll chuck it up in the ramp and have a look tomorrow see if it looks like they will fit. Are dc sports manifolds easy to get hold of over here??? If so where's the best place? Quote
Keyser Posted September 14, 2012 Posted September 14, 2012 I picked mine up on ebay We don't want to know what you picked up on eBay Ian this thread will be in the green room if you list that!!!! Quote

4RE Leather Posted September 14, 2012 Posted September 14, 2012 I must admit that my car has a Megan Y pipe,it was fitted before I got the car,and its holding up alright,though the wire mesh over the flexi areas has now gone,never to be seen again. They probably dont have the resource to do proper testing and flow dynamics on their parts,as im sure someone like Stillen do. The Megan stuff is probably just copies of more expensive products. Its not to say the quality is worse,it probably isnt,its just that they have copied a more expensive item without doing any proper testing,thats why they can sell them cheaper. You know,like what HTC et all have done to Iphone! Put the iPhone back in the box!! Quote
Mark@Abbey m/s Posted September 14, 2012 Posted September 14, 2012 HR has tubular manifolds as stock which I am afraid flow real well , we have fitted a few sets of HR manifolds to DE motors with good results. We only fit these thou when we have the motor out for some work. Too much trouble to do with the motor in for the gains. I very much doubt your see a 10 to 15 bhp gain from a manifold change , the main restriction on the Zed exhaust set up is the stock Cats , running HFC helps a little with flow but running Decats give the best flow but can be noisy on some exhausts , the Milltek works well with de-cats thou on the 350Zed. We have been told about some other headers that do work but they remove the ability to fit cats to the car thou, they are made by http://www.ppeengineering.com/ Got some RHD stock header being shipped out to them to get them to jig up for RHD cars. I do feel you may see the steering column fouling on the RH header thou. Quote
TEMPERZ Posted September 15, 2012 Author Posted September 15, 2012 Cheers for that Mark, I always thought it was just the 370z that had the tubular manifold treatment ! So do you think I would be saving myself a lot of hassle just leaving the standard hr manifolds on!??? Quote

TEMPERZ Posted September 15, 2012 Author Posted September 15, 2012 Lol ok! I'm gutted I really should have done my research before as I didn't know the HR had decent manifolds to start with grrrrr ! Anybody want to buy some nice shiney Megan manifolds???? lol Quote
