Help!!

[stevejstarkey]

Hi guys and gals!!! Please help I have recently swooped my tubby 5 for a 197 and she has a slight issue! !

I have developed a blow at the bellows in the manifold. At £709 renault are a tad on the expensive side. Toyosport are selling exhaust manifolds at £200 on the net and from what I have seen they seem to be flying off the shelf! Has anyone got one of these manifolds fitted to their car? Did you have fitting issues??

I know k - tec are due to release their own this side of xmas but doubting it will be exactly Erm on the cheaper side.

I know fitting is obviously on top but intend on doing it myself as the car isn't in constant use. I have seen other threads on the same subject so I'm targeting those specifically with the Toyosport manifolds. Cheers in advance for all the help and laughing and pointing at my misfortune!!

They fit ok, general opinion is that the subframe needs grinding or bending and new engine mounts fitted.

or you can repair your old one.


assume £250-£300 labour to get old one out and fit new one, bare in mind if you repair, your car is going to be out of action whilst the repair is undertaken.
