Sport Manifold from ebay for gti 8v
« on: 26 October 2009, 18:18 »
Hi all,
i have golf mk2 gti 8v y:1985-1987 (i dont know right), engine code is EV and is k-jetronic. It doesen have catalyst.
I was looking to buy a new manifold, which are quite cheap here on ebay (arround 170£).

Ive been told they dont have much preformance gains for the amount u pay. Ebay isnt the best place for exhaust parts as their ethier made cheaply or the material aint quality. But a few people on her run them they might have some more info.

I never thought the EV had breathing issues (its hardly a big performer).

I'd stick to stock unless the current one is cracked, then invest the £170 towards a rear-ended ABF MK3.

I am running the second one of the 2 you posted up and 2 yrs with no probs (16V version). Only niggle is it's tinny when you put your foot down but some might say all stainless mani's are like that.

It wont make your car any faster unless its part of an engine rebuild however it's a dam site lighter and if i may be so bold without checking, cheaper than standard?

Your choice. :smiley:

A 4.1 is for top end and 4.2.1 is more mid range. Well I would go for a ashleys 4.1 and a complete system to get the benafits
