Dead Manifold Flexi Section

[Scott_Mac]

I'm going off Horizon, every time i visit it costs me money

 

Dilemma:

 

New flexi section from Lotus - £240 fitted

 

Janspeed 4-2-1 + flexi section - £530 fitted

 

Latter has more power, more torque, lifetime warranty etc... but obviously costs lots more.

 

I am heading for the Janspeed more i think... but anyone have any thoughts on it first?? Any better manifolds out there for sensible money - the Eliseparts one looks great, but costs too much for me!

Whats happened to your original flexy bit then ?

Don't get the Janspeed manifold. The EBD is a much better engineered solution as it offers much better mid-range benefits.

The EBD ....

Graeme, did you do a typo, i.e. QED

[Scott_Mac]

No, no he meant EBD...

 

I have emailed them Graeme, seem to be mixed reports of the Janspeed, but all good for the EBD, any ideas on cost????

 

Other issue is i kinda need it soon, as mine sounds awful at low revs, but like a fricking race car when on full chat

It found religion...

 

or rather it became holy.

Scott dude,

 

and thats a problem ?

 

 

Click my link under the You've been Tangoed and tell me it didn't make you grin at least

 

[Scott_Mac]

Well there is no problem on full chat, its the sounding like a car with a hole in the exhaust when at idle

[Zircon450]

Me again,

 

Can I have your old one please !!!

 

You know what I'm going to do with it - don't you ?????

I believe the EBD is the one stocked by Elise-Shop. Try:

Elise-shop (NL) look 3/4 down the Engine section

 

Do they have anything to do with the new Eliseparts manifold?

I fitted the Janspeed to my last car, the main reasons were:

 

Eliseparts big bore manifold is that big it difficult to fit in the car, you have to cut the undertray to get it to fit.

 

EBD - They dont do a manifold with a flexi section, couldnt be bothered with the hassle of that! (Flexicat pipes were not readily available then as they are now, so that will help your choice greatly!)

 

 

Plus I needed one quick as it is undriveable when it goes properly, its louder than a tank when that happens! not good!

 

So for a quick easy choice the Janspeed was the simpliest option and the one I could get hold of quickest at the time! That said I didnt notice any difference with power, noise was slightly different, difficult to notice the few bhp it probably gave, I certainly couldnt.

 

Nothing wrong with the Janspeed but nothing amazing either, although it does have a removable flexi section, so no more problems in the future!, the EBD one does look nice though

[Scott_Mac]

New Eliseparts one is not EBD apparantly... its also pricey!

 

Cheers Mark, that kinda helps.... the Janspeed is currently leading the way for ease of application.

 

Am awaiting the return of Hangar111 to see what they offer, shall check Elise Shop too.

 

Cheers folks.

 

Tango, what are you going to do with it??? You can have it, if you can collect it or something

[Scott_Mac]

EBD has no flexi section... also needs hole cutting in undertray.

 

So Janspeed is looking even more likely.

Yup, was two seperate sentences, although they might look like they flow into each other.

 

EBD and Eliseparts are deffo not the same!

[Scott_Mac]

Hmm, EBD one seems cheaper.... offered one for £365 + VAT delivered.

 

Aaaarrrrgggghhhhhh too much choice
