E36 exhaust manifold replacement

[wikk3d88]

So it seems one of the known issues on e36s has afflicted my car.
The manifold is blowing and I need to replace it. What should I be paying? I know a new gasket is needed and replacing all the studs and nuts is necessary

I had a viper manifold fitted for R2500.00

I had a set of TNT branches fitted for around R2000 (total)

Was a bit of a mission as the branches did not have the O2 sensor fittings when received from the factory.

I don't want an aftermarket branch. Ita going to make zero difference on my car since its an auto. Looks like ill have to hunt around for another stock manifold if my current one cant be welded.
Btw I priced the manifold gasket at BMW. R547. Masterparts has an elring gasket for R50. Hilarious.

Did that include all the nuts and studs and gaskets?

Hi wikk3d88

Did you sort your car out?
Which option did you choose?

Edit: daft moment, I see he/she is unregistered.

328ii did the TNT make the car louder?
