.: E36 M3 Manifold Repair
Iridium can provide a professional & permanent repair for the troublesome flexi-bellows section found in the exhaust manifolds of M3's.
These often crack in the bellows resulting in a loss of performance, blowing exhaust sound & unwanted exhaust fume smell in the cabin. Replace the standard bellows with our uprated permanent customised repair.
.: Tech Services
Our customised repair service incorporates a custom iLoc reinforced & externally braided section that we weld in to replace the standard thin-wall bellows.
Our flexible section, unlike cheap imports, has a smooth internal profile to reduce flow-restriction & can withstand up to 800 °C. This gives our system increased longevity through increased flexibility & improved materials.
All manifolds are mounted on our dedicated jig to ensure BMWs' original alignment & measurements are maintained throughout the process. The faulty section is then cut out, & the new section aligned & TIG welded in position using high-grade stainless steel EN316L rods. The whole manifold is then bead-blasted before being thouroghly inspected before being re-packed & dispatched to the customer.
All repairs are cleaned & inspected for leaks/cracks etc before being shipped. Typical turnaround 2 working days or less! 12 month guarantee*
(1) Select your model
& use the "Add to Basket"
button below & complete your
payment - this enables us to capture all your
contact details and the return postal address to send your manifold
back to.
(2) Remove your manifold
(cyls 4-6 only) and ship it to us (please use good packaging as
we reuse it to send your manifold back in. Remember to use a box
big enough to take the newly repaired manifold - your repaired one
will be longer if the original one was in two parts!).
If your manifold is broken completely in two - clearly mark
the relationship between the two parts BEFORE
removing it from the car - that way we'll know where to re-weld
it (Tippex is good)!
(3) We complete the
modified repair the same or following day, bead-blast it, then despatch
it back to you via next working day courier (usually via DHL/Interlink/UPS).
(4) Refit your manifold
& enjoy the lack of blowing exhaust noise & exhaust fumes!!!
Removes the air leak & restores your o2 sensor values to normal
and improves your MPG too!!
Just £
Carriage is £12.25 via next working day courier with online tracking
facility.

Stage 1 - After receiving manifold from the customer we mount it to our custom jig to maintain alignment & length between flange & manifold inlets during the works.
|
Stage 2 - Cut out the damaged flexi-section, clean & prep the area for welding (this one is not cleaned yet!). |
Stage 3 - TIG weld in the new uprated flexi-bellows section using 316L rods. The whole manifold is then bead-blasted & examined before packaging &returning to customer. |
We can remove your manifold, reweld & refit in our workshops if required - please contact us for details.
PLEASE NOTE - We DO NOT offer a quick bodge "on-the-car" or in-situ welding service as these just dont work - see images below of systems bodged & then bought to us for proper repair!!!
GET IT DONE ONCE, GET IT DONE PROPERLY!
