Rare and discontinued, to my knowledge. Hard to find information on it, but it seems they sold for $500-600 new. Espelir Exhaust Systems from Upgrade Motoring (http://www.upgrademotoring.com/performance/espelir_exhaust.htm)

Looks as though it was wrapped with heat wrap at some point. The head flange has been decked and machined to ensure flatness. The discoloration on the flange is from copper gasket spray I used when installing it (for heat transfer).

No cracks.

Had some problems with the gasket I was using, so rather than order another and wait for it to come in, I went back to stock manifold to save time and hopefully money.

$250 shipped, or make an offer. Cheaper if you happen to be local to VA Beach.

PM me if you're interested, I'm a lot more likely to see a PM than I will posts in this thread. :)

that seems like kind of a ricdulous price seeing as how it is used. and you can geta brand new one for cheaper. ( not an espiler of course but something equal to it)

Hence, "make an offer." I started high so I don't get people offering me $50.

Thanks.

sold for $500-600 new.

There's not much in between megan 50$ crack-o-thon manifold, and 1000$ full race, so I think his price is fair.

I like rice octopus style!!!

Appreciate that. It's hard to find info on these, but from what I've found, they're good quality manifolds without being as expensive as a Full-Race or something like that.

Also, be aware that there's nothing on this manifold that says "Espelir," and since I've been completely unable to find a stock picture of one, there's no actual proof that it is an Espelir manifold. You'd just have to trust that it is one, just as I trusted the previous owner when I bought it from him. That being said, it looks pretty obvious that it's not a Megan or SSAC manifold...so you at least know that much for certain :p No fitment problems going onto the car.

So. I have no reason to believe it's not a legit piece, but I just wanted to be clear.

Those all sell for 5-600$ as well, so 250$ is fair for a used one.
