Exhaust manifolds and Y piece.

[Harvy500]

Oh how I wish I'd known about Clive F exhaust manifolds when I was buying parts to start the restoration of my Griffiths engine etc in 2023.

I bought ACT decatted exhaust manifolds and decatted Y piece. Absolutely nothing wrong with them and still in perfect condition etc. (And they drastically reduced under bonnet temperatures).

Now, I want Clive F GT spec manifolds.
I'm going to do it!
Any owners here running GT spec manifolds etc?
Thoughts?

Not got the items you are interested in, but have a few of Clive's pieces. Beautifully made, great quality and fit. Great value, especially when you compare them side by side to parts from other suppliers, including 'Genuine' items.

I know. I've had a mate of mine just remind me he's got the GT spec manifolds on his car.
I've sent an email to Clive confirming I want some.
Had a reply saying they won't be ready until May.
To be honest, that suits me better than ready next week as we're moving home very soon.

I always wonder if Clive coold have his tubes bent, rather than them being welded. I’d prefer them without so many welded seams between head and collector. Otherwise great looking manifolds.

There was a Joolz post on performance of the ACT ones being very good and the same seems to apply to Clive’s as well. Seems side by side the performance will be very similar and then it comes down to aesthetics,
