BRANCH MANIFOLD
REPAIR & SERVICE
At TyreZone, we are experts in servicing, repairing and replacing exhaust branch manifolds. There are two basic reasons to repair or replace your exhaust manifold:
To replace a broken, cracked or warped stock manifold with a factory-supplied original is too costly and a branch is about half the price or even less, fitted. In South Africa, approximately 70% of all branch manifolds are sold as replacement items. Apparently, this figure increases to approximately 90% in Australia where most “extractors” as they are called are cheap press bent items as described above. (Performance doesn’t enter the picture.
The second reason is a performance enhancement. As South Africans, we are privileged to have available off shelf designed and developed branches, which actually work well for most popular cars. These branches, matched to through-flow systems do result in significant power gains, which can be verified on dynamometers. If you are going to replace your car’s broken original manifold with a good branch, you score a bonus in terms of power gains, especially if you later decide to replace the stock silencer system with a matching performance silencer system as well.
