Exhaust manifold
thepest - 12/7/07 at 01:53 PM

Hey Guys do you think this manifold will be ok? I am guessing it may need some support. Suggestions please.
I have done this so that I keep as much heat as I can out of the engine bay.

My exhaust manifold is similar in concept and is only supported at the head and silencer. No problems encountered yet but I would suggest supporting your silencer at both ends if possible (mine will be when I get a 6" diameter silencer). Use rubber mounts to allow some movement.

The primaries seem rather long to me compared to most crossflow manifolds.

Would wrapping it not have been a better solution. You would be surprised how much effect that has!!

Thanks guys,

I did think of wrapping it, but this manifold did not fit under the bonnet.
What effect will longer primarys have?
I have already started to make a new bonnet just in case this doesn't work as well I'll be making a new manifold from scratch.

I am having second thoughts about it thou, it doesn't really look the "look". Thursday I'll be taking it out for a spin and see how it goes.
