Allisport manifold + aircon?

[Aussiemandias]

Hi all,

Has anyone fitted one of these manifolds to a TD5 defender that has aircon?

Performance exhaust manifold for TD5 Defender and Discovery - AlliSport (https://www.allisport.com/shop/performance-products/exhaust-components/manifold/allisport-land-rover-defender-td5-uprated-exhaust-manifold/)

Looking to replace my warped manifold with one of these, but there's already hardly any room between the standard manifold and the aircon compressor. The Allisport one clearly sticks out farther, so I'm not sure if there'll be enough room?

Thanks guys,
Ed

Can confirm the manifold fits and will clear the AC compressor, I have the same manifold on mine.

Awesome, thanks. Guess it's time to empty out my wallet now... 😬

as another alternative to $1400 plus odd dollars...

*you could get your manifold machined.
*get it coated in a industrial ceramic
*then prolly have enough cash left over to get a hybrid core for your turbo

*the biggest improvement will be a hybrid turbo core.

*other claims are maybe technically correct, but noticing the improvement, meh, you certainly wont get $1400 worth of improvement
