Probably work out cheaper to get them made at an exhaust place looking at the prices for each piece!

How much clearance do you need, Can't you just raise the engine mounts a wee bit and punch a big bulge in the bonnet?

[surfenstein]

the trouble is the four branch manifolds that i have,hit on the upper wishbones,if i go higher half of the engine will be poking out through the bonnet.and i need at least three inches to clear the wishbone mount,the cast manifolds,well lets just say that the left hand bank manifold fits perfectly loads of clearance,no problems at all,but the right hand banks a completly different story,the down tube from the manifold comes out right on top of the steering column u/js (where the plastic cover sleeve is)to use this manifold i would have to remount the steering box,

they are very similar to the manifolds that i have.if i could cut four hundred mm off of the depth and reweld they might fit.what i need is a tube that runs across the top of all four ports in one piece,then have the drop tube right at the back.

I'm collecting the bits to put a V8 in my landy so have been investigating exhausts for mine. Have you thought of SD1 manifolds, the downpipe comes out much further towards the back than Range rover ones?
