I will soon be swapping a 164S 3L engine in my GTV6 and I am in need of a pair of Milano 3L Exhaust Manifolds to replace my old 2.5L ones. I am located in the San Francisco Bay Area. I can pick them up if your are near by or have them shipped to me if not.
I did contact Larry from APE and he's looking to find a pair for me. I thought of asking here on the forum as well in case he has a hard time finding them.
I'm still looking for a pair of Milano 3L exhaust manifolds for my GTV6. I haven't had any luck with APE as of today, so hopefully someone here has a spare they are willing to part with.
If you do please PM me with your price including shipping to zip code 94010. Thanks.
Hi I have the manifolds but they`re still on the motor.
Here`s a picture of one of them with the number.If you`re really interested I`ll take them off for better pictures.
275$ + shipping from Montreal for both
For more information contact me at lubrimont@gmail.com or at 514-352-2447 or here.
Thank you
Thanks for your offer but I think the cost will be to high considering shipping from Montreal. Thanks for your offer, though. I hope someone a little closer to San Francisco will have them available.
I suspect that when one of my 3.0 headers cracked a while ago, my mechanic replaced it with a 2.5 version. I don't feel any difference in power from the seat of my pants and the car runs fine.
I would never put a 2.5 liter manifold on a 3.0 liter engine. I have both cars and have extra manifolds except for the passenger side 3.0 liter manifold that tends to break. I bought new 3.0 liter manifolds and they were expensive. The Milano and GTV6 parts are expensive and that is the cost of driving these cars. I believe if you cannot afford the parts then do not drive the car.
I thank you all for your comments and interest in this post, however this is not a debate about installing 2.5L exhaust manifolds vs installing 3L ones on a 3L engine. I appreciate everyone's input regarding this topic but, as we can see, people have varying opinions about it. I'm just looking to find a pair of 3L exhaust manifolds at a decent price. If I can find them, great! If not I will either wait or find another solution. I hope I am not offending anyone, but I would like to keep this thread on topic. Thank you all for your understanding.
X kuni123456 - please do not assume, especially based on a few lines of text in a forum, that I, or anyone else, can or cannot afford to drive this, or any other, vehicle. I feel that if the cost of the 3L manifolds reach a certain price then I would prefer to purchase a completely new performance header system with exhaust from Centerline. In my opinion purchasing 3L manifolds make sense if they are under a certain cost.
X RoryJ - believe me I know how expensive Porsche parts can be. I had a 1988 Porsche 944 Turbo S into which I poured thousands of dollars to have the engine completely rebuilt as well as many other things done to it. It was a excellent specimen but I eventually decided to sell it because I have more fun in the Alfa.
Igor, good luck with the hunt, sorry I'm not of more help. Agree that aftermarket headers are the way to go at a certain cost point.
Funny you mention your 944 Turbo -- the car I was referencing was an '89 944 S2 (the 3-liter, 16 valve version). I too sold the Porsche simply because the Alfa was a similar layout (front engine/rear drive, transaxle car) and waaaay more fun to drive than the P-car.
I purchased 3.0 liter cast manifolds from Larry at APE and also purchased new manifolds and they were expensive. The Milano parts are expensive and becoming more difficult to find. I can wait for a month or so and that is the limit.
