Does anyone know who makes competition manifolds and exhausts for old skool type cars? I have a 73' Avenger and am having a tough time finding someone who can supply extractor type manifolds for these cars. I know Ashley do but I have been put of buying one of theirs by all the negative stuff on the net about them not fitting properly and being poor quality.
It seems like if its not a Ford then nobody stocks or makes these?

Another vote for Tony Law here, had him do manifolds on three of my cars previously, and he will be doing the next couple as well. Fantastic craftsmanship, not the cheapest, but the best never is....

Tony Law here too, bought one for my NA Cossie build and it's an absolute master-piece. Got a couple of Ashley manifolds sat in the corner and it just p*sses over them on quality and design.

Longlife if they're still doing it? Tony Law as above Simpson? I went for a Rush Automotive made in NZ, as couldn't get what I wanted close to the price in the UK, but he only does Toyota

I finally settled on a 2" Ashley 4-2-1 competition manifold with custom built 2" stainless Power Flow exhaust system by Flow Dynamics in Bletchley.
Have to say I can highly recommend the guys at Flow Dynamics. Great service at a good price with minimum of fuss. Very helpful guys.
