Title: corrado exhaust manifold for 1.8 16v?
Post by: phil88 on 21 March 2008, 22:21

hello, as you might know im going to be putting carbs on my 16v, so i will be looking to get a proper exhaust including manifold. but im looking to do i on the cheap.

I heard somewhere that instead of using a stainless exhaust manifold you can use a corrado manifold which will give similar results.


can anyone confirm this?
cheers, Phil

nah dont think so mate, if there is it will be like 1bhp lol, either  get your standard one ported or get a four branch.

the oem 16v manifold/downpipe actually flows very well, the 9a manifold is the same as the KR, but it has a cat in the downpipe :)
