There has been a fair bit of talk (certainly in the B5 S4 section) about tubular maifolds, ceramic coated manifold etc.
Thought I would share for those that didn't see it in the October '06 issure of Audi Driver the small article on www.rsfabrications.com.
Based in Banbury the article mentions manifolds recently constructed for a 620PS RS4.
Stainless steel ceramic coated manifolds for £1350 + vat.
They do other stuff too, but this isn't an ad. just a tip off for those that might not be aware and may find it of use.

RE: Ceramic Coated Manifolds
I posted because it was topical and also partly because of what you say above - if it isn't the MRC supplier, given the location, perhaps it's something they may wish to investigate!
I'd be surprised if someone on here can't identify the car.

I must be looking in the wrong place

RE: Ceramic Coated Manifolds
The RS4 manifolds don't seem to be on the website. There is one pic in the magazine though.
