Couple of questions;

Does the manifold fit the engine?
Is it cast?
What diameter is the outlet to the downpipe?
Can you weld?

It is possible to make it fit, but either way you will need to buy some tube and some bends.





Kindest Regards,
Richard.

Some mild steel pipe of the correct diameter a few bends and a bike silencer.

However think about IVA, the need for silencing, BD limits and edge radii.

What do you mean by BD limits?

suspect he means DB limits (ie noise).
