Exhaust manifold piccy request

slindborg

Gents, If any of you with easy access to the exhaust manifold (on engine) can take a pic ill be most aprpeciative.

Or if anyone can remember the angle at which the down pipe exits the manifold... ie is it a 90 degree bend of a 50degree bend.

I'm looking at Pacesetter/shorty headers (manifolds ffs) from the US but they all do a 50degree bend.. the pace setter MAY be possible to mod but im not sure.

yank engine is like this

I'm pretty sure it is 90 degree, at least in the VX220.

Here is the only pic I can find of it on my VX220 at the moment. Unfortunately I can't get better quality off the internet atm!

poo 🙁 its not quote 90deg but its nowhere near as shallow as the US version.

although a 50-90deg adaptor "might" work if it dosent hit the boot.
I think Ill still get a mild steel pacesetter manifold from the states and see what mods are needed to make it fit

the angle is completely wrong on the 4-1 manifold, it could be modified maybe dunno..

slindborg

the pacesetteris a fairly long manifold so has scope to be modded with ease (ish). Its the shortys that are nearly impossible to get to fit.

Maybe you could use a cutting disc to cut lots of slices out of the inside of the curve of the tubes, bend the manifold down to the right angle, and then weld the gaps up?

vocky

this is the sort of 4-1 available

needs to drop straight down dunno..

slindborg

can always see if the first bend can be cranked round to 90deg....
