Classic exhaust manifolds

Off to look at headman headers.

I think the advantage of the janspeed over headman is that they sell a y piece that mates up to the mid section flange of the existing exhaust (or at least it did on my normal wheelbase 3.9 rrc) I had a weld fail on one of the primaries. I blamed it on my thermal wrapping as they were quite scabby when I unwrapped them, but could also have been poor weld or thermal expansion.
They didn't have bracing at the exhaust ports unlike headman.

I must be a bit behind the times on heads. They seem to have gone up in price quite a bit since I bought mine. V8 developments can port and rebuild your existing heads for £500. No good if you're on a budget. They also work on inlets. iirc my heads are 10 bolt from v8 developments and my inlet was done by Steve Lundlack.

Does anyone know of a company that might carry stock of the Janspeed stuff? Janspeed will only make to order batches of 5 apparently.
The fact they will do a whole system including the Y pipe is good although I still run into the issue of cats as I need them on my car. No idea if they would do a longer system for the LSE of whether its just a case of adding 8" of stainless pipe somewhere.

Rpi used to stock them.

Thanks, I've sent an email.

Everywhere I've spoken to is saying the same. JS will only supply in batches of 5 so no they don't order any. Shame really.
SS ones don't seem to get the best reviews. Rimmers have one which looks different but I'd need to check with them.
