Are Tullet still considered the best people to make me an over the top manifold for the honda engine?
I was going to get it done last year and everybody recommended Tullet, but circumstances transpired against me. I was wondering if they are still considered the best place to go, or if anybody has any other worthy contenders
[quote=Muu]Am I being thick, but can’t find a site for Link-Up parts or do I need to contact simon directly?
I had a chat with hofmanns as they’re local to me, and they use Simon’s gear. [/quote]
Any of the authorised Link-Up dealers will be able to supply Link-Up parts… the parts will come from Eliseparts, but not sure you can order Link-Up bits from Eliseparts without being an authorised installer… the dealers such as Hoffmans/Maidstone order through them and obviously fit the parts for you.
But if its not a Link-Up conversion won’t it have to go to Tullet anyways? I think Tullet will deal direct but as Dave says the result won’t be a Link-Up spec one which is of course a known (good) entity.
If I had the dosh I would love a Link-Up spec one coupled with Dr Scuffham to work his magic,…and CC of course if you’re going to that much trouble
I don’t think there’s anything to stop you buying a Link-Up exhaust if you don’t have a Link-Up conversion (although I guess depending on the engine position the fittings might no be spot on).
I would expect Link-Up to effectively own the Jig used by Tullets to make the manifolds so I doubt you could buy a Link-Up manifold direct from Tullets.
You’d either have to approach Link-Up or take your car into Tullets for a bespoke one to be made.
Much as the over the top exhaust looks good, Im sure the main benefit is less heat around the tripodes . .which if heat shielded should be OK anyhow …
Im sure Simon mentioned recently that the latest under the bottom versions were almost as close to the performance of the over the top ones these days … such is development …
DaveP is spot on though, your engine will be in a slightly different location no doubts and so some adjustment would be required and a new map for sure
