Exhaust bling

I see supersprint are now making tubular manifolds for the n52 engined cars 8)

they look sweet .

Looks great, as per usual for SS produce. I don't see it called out explicitly in the listing, but I presume, as per other SS headers, that this is LHD only?

 

[1536Z4]

Yes I would presume LHD as it doesn`t come up on their website as availalabe for RHD .

Looks LHD only. It looks great but adds up cost wise if you wanted to run cats to remain legal. Best part of £5k for parts!

Pity really. A decent set of headers would be on my wishlist, with a set from SS holding the top position. There appears to be a real lack of good RHD header options for the N52. I'm surprised that no one has capitalised on it, and I've read previously that SS would be open to looking at this if a certain number of orders were confirmed, but I guess since it's never come to fruition, that the demand isn't there.

That, or no one has successfully managed to combine/organise all the interest into a singular order.

that the demand isn't there

You are probably right unless they could make them so they fitted the engine bay layout of other N52 cars as well ? It`s the price as DaveD says that puts me off. I looked into having headers custom made by a reputable company and they were about the same price as SS are charging for the LHD headers . If money wasn`t an issue then I would be up for a group buy but I can`t see them dropping the price that much which is a shame . For nearly the same price I could get an LSD so I think that is where the money will go ( eventually ) :roll:

The cost is a limiting factor. Looking at 5k for the complete exhaust is not that far off how much my car is worth!
I've been trying to justify 850 for a scorpion exhaust but just can't dig my hands into my pocket even for that.
