Talking ZT-T 190 2.5 V6 manual.

Hi guys,
If I have the “usual” manifold rattle how much for a new manifold, and is it still possible to get a new/refurbished one and if so from where/who?
Many thanks.

There is an interesting thread here.
Many of us are waiting for developments, as it seems to be an excellent option.

There's currently one on ebay for £130 or best offer. It's from a Freelander but will fit. They come up reasonably regularly for between £110 -£200.

For the time being break it open and remove the internals, it will silence it but may effect performance and economy very slightly, it wasn't really noticeable on my 2.0 v6

Found the gutted manifold on a ZS180 to loose significant torque low end, sizable amount mid range and gained 3bhp top end...not really worth it

Same on a ZT180, flat as anything at the bottom of the rev range.
