MarkGolf 6 Posted February 18, 2005 Author Report Share Posted February 18, 2005 Made by raceland, so presum they're easy to get!reply to my PM punk..still got stuff for u too Link to post Share on other sites
antera309 3 Posted February 18, 2005 Report Share Posted February 18, 2005 Couldn't find the new price for the "Raceland" exhaust manifold anywhere on the web. Link to post Share on other sites
badboyV6 4 Posted February 18, 2005 Report Share Posted February 18, 2005 Yeah i looked on their site too and couldnt find anything! I also sent them an email to find out how much they were but they didnt get back to me!! Are the Ashley ones any good? What kind of increase in BHP Torque would you expect? Anyone had 1st hand experience? Ive think ive seen the Ashley ones advertised for 300 quid from TSR.... Link to post Share on other sites
MarkGolf 6 Posted February 18, 2005 Author Report Share Posted February 18, 2005 Im normally dead against raceland, but i dont think there's alot fo room for producing a BAD manifold, so willing to try it..There service is SHITE though!When i saw it, was at £220, but wouldn't pay more for it when you can get an Ashley one for £300.. May go for that if any..Be interesting t see what the retail is! Link to post Share on other sites
PEDROX 0 Posted February 18, 2005 Report Share Posted February 18, 2005 saw these at essen cost about £140 , but "raceland" put me off,why so cheap ask yourself...... Link to post Share on other sites
Eat this 2 Posted February 19, 2005 Report Share Posted February 19, 2005 whats the difrence between that and standard better airflow??ps it looks stunning Link to post Share on other sites
schrickvr6 0 Posted February 19, 2005 Report Share Posted February 19, 2005 I've got the ashley manifold and it works very well,but..you do need to make sure your engine mounts are in good nick or they can crack towards the bottom of the manifold, you also need to allow for about another £50 to properly lag the manifold otherwise under-bonnet temps will be insane, as mild or stainless steel can't hold anything like the heat that the original pig iron manifold can.

badboyV6 4 Posted February 19, 2005 Report Share Posted February 19, 2005 What differences did ou notice? Is the ashley one SS? With regard to the Raceland itme- usually you pay for proven performance enhancing items as lots of engineering and testing costs go into the final item. For 200 odd quid i suppose we cant be expecting much! Link to post Share on other sites
schrickvr6 0 Posted February 19, 2005 Report Share Posted February 19, 2005 It's impossible for me to say as it was put on at the same time a load of other work was done to the engine, but it does sound awesome. All of the vr6's in VWR cup use this manifold so i guess it's got to be pretty good.It's mild steel. Link to post Share on other sites
Andyboy 0 Posted February 21, 2005 Report Share Posted February 21, 2005 I've got a ashley manifold on my golf, never had any problems with temperature or anything, got mine from a local supplier for £260. Noticed big difference, would advise you to get the ashley manifold. If you are worried bout the temperatures, wrap it in heat resostant tape to keep temp down. Link to post Share on other sites
