So finally i get my scooby back all fixed and ready to run in.
I received her back from ... and with in 3 weeks she was fixed by S.... C....
I'm not going to go in to any detail about how it got resolved as plenty of people have asked me too as it will more than likely get shut down again lol.
Any way ill post a picture and get some good ones over next couple of weeks.
I am thinking of selling her but depends how much fun she is after the finale map.
Only thing im not sure about is the equal length manifold. It has got rid of the scooby burble and now sounds like a bloody fiesta on steroids. Not sure if that will change after its been run in and mapped so will will see. lol

Dose anybody have any experience with these manifolds and proven gains our not from them on a hatch. Iv had a look but cant seem to find much info on them.
Correct, normally there's a lot of chav's that come on here using American phases due to there heavy use of Google and lack of experience with cars.
Well actually the original term was 'exhaust gas exit pipes', but it was too much of a mouth full, so Henry ford named them after the local black smith that manufactured all the early prototype exhaust parts , Manfred Fold.

517hp unequals 535 equals. How ever mine are a little different to your average equals. Still you should be seeing some good gains from them though!
It wasn't the peak figures that made it worth while to be honest, its much more driveable with the equals on, it picks up sooner, revs harder and makes power all the way to redline. Where as on the unequals power was dropping off from 6k....
The way it drove really was night and day. And the fact it doesn't sound like your average chav wagon with a dustbin exhaust now is even better!
Im just interested in what ones dont compared to equal, as Im yet to see any that can compete with equal length manifolds....
Mine out performed the RCM, and GT spec ones that were previously on the car by a considerable margin....
I asedk pat that very question when i was looking at them for mine and that was the responce mate. I suspect alot is setup given its one component of a big chain

I don't know. The manifolds on a turbo car can make or break it. Think of those toyosports ones that lost 25hp yet are a copy of the gt spec ones.
Manifold design on scoobies seems to have just stopped, they are all the same design and everyone is just using the RCM etcones. In the states no one uses UEL headers because none of them can match a set of EL, in terms of peak figures, figures under the line, drivability etc.
Then you have companies like KillerB who ctually go out and do back to back testing to prove it. When was the last time you saw. RCM go out and test their manifolds against say the GT Specs etc. To show how great they are? They don't, because they are copies of an old design, that just kind of works, yet hasn't been advanced at all in the last 10yrs.... Uk tuning is so far behind the US.
I know I rave on about the killer b headers (and I will call them headers, as they came from the states) but unless you had driven my car before and after you would not beleieve the difference they made. To be able to feel a noticable change on 500+hp in the way it drives shows how much of a difference they did make.
EL is the way forward if you want the absolute best, no doubt in my mind
If so, do they also make their own std position, OEM-pattern, twin scroll uppipe/EL headers kit?
Killer B stuff is nothing like what we have over here at all....
Up pipe is V band connection, manifolds are tiny compared to anything over here. Im not saying the RCM stuff etc is bad, but if you are after the best, EL is the way to go.
Dont do twinscroll headers, although they will build what ever you ask them to if you can afford it! They do Low mount kits like the WRC cars etc and all sorts.
Chris is a top guy to deal with, however, if you are looking for cheap, then it is not the website for you lol

So 1 year and 7 months latter i get her back.
