I assume you ordered one for an abf? Otherwise youll have fitment issues against the tunnel but you can get round this by tilting the engine back a bit or bashing the tunnel

The new manifold turned up today  :laugh:



So the pipe diameter on it is 2.5" and as said before my exhaust is 2" so my question is can I cut the existing pipe off at the rear silencer and weld a 2.5" on? Or would the silencers need changing.

Get a decat section made up (bolts to 3 bolt flange) and then has a 2" end to mate with your existing centre section. Sorted :)

Thing is bud I already paid a good whack to get this system made up :angry: live and learn.
So was wanting to do it on the cheap.
I can buy a metre length of stainless, 90degree bend,3bolt flange and gasket all for under £50.

This is how it is at the mo.



So I was thinking where the top arrow is is where the new manifold should finish and where the bottom arrow is I could just grind off and fit new 2.5" bore.
Dose that look doable.

Buy something like this then just get a joiner between your existing centre pipe.

Been down to the see the guy that made my exhaust today and he can make me up a exhaust piece that will have a flexy on it and a reducer from 2.5" to 2"
Looking at about £50 dint think that was to bad.
