Anyone running a Tri-Y exhaust manifold?

Interested to hear about peoples experiences...and any particular Tri-Y system you've used.

I'm considering one as the US exchange rate is good and I can get free shipping & no import duty, plus the turbo won't be happening for a little while so I can sell it on when I'm ready.

Worth the cash?

......Aaaaand begin.

Fitted one to alex's car and he reckons it was awesome. Bit of a pain to fit but was designed for a civic so you should be fine.

All I hear is great things about the tri Y designed manifold. I want to run one one day when the cash allows

price isn't too bad, can get them from the states for £250 and re-sale shouldn't be a problem.

I do find the H22 a bit lacking in bottom end, I'm currently using the original JDM manifold & 2.5" stainless Solid Fabrications system with de-cat pipe BUT I do currently have quite a restrictive pattern part downpipe which I know is strangling the system.

Is that inc shipping and import duty and tax and all that shizz?? I'm running a 2,1/4 manifold back and probably need a better manifold tbh.

no no, that's the unit price in the states, I'll get it sent to my dad's friend over there and shipped out to me when his next lot of Shelby Mustang parts come over to the UK...no import duty or postage

Shelby mustang. Now there's An engine that would suit a civic.

the trick is to get them to mark the item value down on the export invoice, if the price is under £20 in value (I think) then no import charges.

obviously, if the item subsequently goes missing you might have some issues :-S

About a 25 bhp increase at the vtec crossover and so much more open at the top end. It's so free flowing I see a proper 6psi in vtec where other usually see 7psi on supercharged ludes.

Mines a hytech long tube tri y.

Also the noise is.....epic using a tri y.
