Zetec exhaust manifold opinions please
givemethebighammer - 10/3/04 at 08:37 PM

I have seen the zetec exhaust manifold below, given that apparently zetec engines "like" long primary pipes, does this manifold fit the bill ?

The westfield one pictured later has much longer primary pipes but looks like it could be much harder to fit (cutting THE hole etc).

What do you think any difference between these two designs ? Rescued attachment manifold.jpg

I got mine done by the bloke who does the MK supplied exhausts. Have a look on the pics, nice and straight...

I agree, the primaries in the 1st picture dont look all that long.

A good exhaust will give you only a few bhp more than an average exhaust.

There was a feature a while back on different exhausts from major manufacturers, and the biggest increase was about 6 bhp.

Go for the one you think looks nicest then

just spoke to MK they will do the entire system at a reasonable price, only I'm not building an Indy so has anyone got any photos of a zetec in an MK Indy (pref without sides on) so I can see if it is likely to fit my chassis.

thanks
