My mechanic discussed wrapping them yesterday with me so that is what we are going to do.

OK so I've seen my mechanic again and we have decided to use the Hedman Headers. He has used them before and if they dont quite fit alters them to do so. We will then fabricate the Y piece to fit. It is easier to do as the engine is still in the old chassis to do the work and then transplant it...

Further research tells me that others have used the afore mentioned headers on 4.0 V8's and they seem to be OK. I will ask my mechanic what he thinks when I see him later. There is no great rush as the vehicle is in many pieces at the moment. As for welding, never done any to tell you the truth...

Thanks for the replies. Janspeed and Rimmers dont seem to do Disco 2 manifolds anymore. I have found some by Hedman. Part No 39800 but they are for a 3.5litre V8. Does anyone know if they will fit. I asked one of the suppliers but they didnt know. The other was on e bay.at about £385 a pair

Well thats a good start. A I joined this forum some time ago(no idea when) and thought I had introduced myself. B I asked a simple question.

I am currently rebuilding a 2004 V 8 Discovery 2 and would like to replace the manifold with Headers to go with a new Stainless Sports exhaust. I have looked on the web but cant really find any. Anyone got any suggestions apart from custom built which are between £600 and 700 each side.
