It was thought that you needed to remove the subframe but there is actually a tool to help fit the manifold without doing this which reduces labour time, and therefore the cost. Still won't be cheap to fit...

I would bite someones hand off for a manifold for £100 though. If you don't fit it, you could make a profit selling it on anyway.

Buy it.

If it's an easy swap then you'll have a bit more power. But if not then it should make you a profit on resale as Englebert has said.

Anyone know how much the fitting of a 182 manifold usually costs?

I'm tempted by this mod if I the total cost is'nt stupid

i had a 182 mani fitted to my old cup, it was a b*****d to fit, cost me 225 to get it fitted...

Oh and you need a pipe made up as it wont mate with the 172 system

possibility of an extras 10bhp .......mmmmm ...... i'd do it .

 

[S22 JGS]

definately worth it i think... especially if u got alot of other mods

It takes around 5 hours to fit the manifold as the subframe has to be removed. We also have either a decat or sports cat that can be used to match the 182 manifold upto a 172 exhaust system (standard or aftermarket).

I hope this helps.
