I brought a Maniflow stage one kit from Bingley Hall a few weeks back and its turning into the biggest mistake I've made since buying my mini.

First of all, it didn't come with the long middle pipe needed to link the back box to the manifold. After ordering one from the Maniflow website (£40 including delivery!) I have that sorted.

Now, I come to fit the exhaust and it doesn't have the correct fitting brackets! So my question to you guys is...

Will the RC40 fitting kit (http://www.minispare...=...4948&title=) work when fitting a maniflow side exit exhaust? Its the back box which I don't have the correct fittings for.


Thanks for any help!

Ive just fitted a Maniflow sigle side exhaust...made my own brackets up, but yes that kit should be fine....Ahh hang on....think you'll find the "you" clamps will be too small, Rc40 clamps are 1" 3/4 Maniflow system is !" 7/8 so best buy seperate.....


Why wont it let me right the letter you? keeps coming out as you!! >_<

Is the seller a reputable company, you say you brought a kit, but its a kit with parts missing, Have you been back in touch. All the bits needed should be with a kit.

Is it possible to buy the rear box brackets separately? The rest of the exhaust is clamped together, I just can't fit the back box.

As I brought the kit from the show, unfortunately I have no receipt.

I bought a Maniflow system and LCB last year from Minispares.

Of all the things I have bought for the mini this was probably the best and easiest fit.

I used the RC40 fitting kit but one of the clamps is too small so I bought an extra one from Halfords (£1 ish rings a bell). Despite this I would still use the kit as it gives you precise brackets for the subframe mounting rather than having to use universal types.

Good luck

Regards

Steve

Edit: Timmo has listed the bits seperately so you still get the correct parts but save a couple of quid.

I hope you get this sorted, I'm sure it will be worth it once fitted.

Just curious tho, did the kit come in a sealed box? I am pretty sure I would have noticed not getting the longest pipe in the kit. >_<
