i have fitted the mani and the downpipe...pictures and info to come on a separate thread after the remap
Surely the fact that it's a solid step reduction will cause huge turbulence? It's a 19% reduction in X-sectional area. also it goes straight back to 3" after, so the gasses would have to expand again and slow down,
That's a 5th, which seems like a lot to me. All other reductione are smooth transitions
Keep what you do at weekends to yourself dani boy!Surely blowing would be more succesful .
ok...
an example.. you may like this
1. Place a lit candle in front of you approx 300mm away from your face.
2. Try inhaling (sucking) as hard as you can to extinguish the flame
3. Now try blowing as hard as you can to extinguish the flame
Which one is successfull - Same pair of lungs at play here... (and for those who cant do either, give up the fags and get yourself down the gym.. lol )

Hi Adam,
Are you getting 285bhp & 320lbft with the stock Exhaust mani and DP??? That's pretty good. I'm struggling to break into 280bhp and hoping the xs mani will sort it

Hi mate, yes this was with stock exhaust mani and dp, when working on the car niki commented that it was a very healthy car (once a couple of boost leaks were sorted lol) so really excited to see where he can take it now forged rods are in aswel as the new mani/ 3" dp
What mods are you currently running?
Dyno lottery applies... don't get hung up on figures unless it was dyno'd at Bills then you have a direct comparison...
<tuffty/>
If I'd had it done on any other dyno I would agree but the R-tech dyno is knowen to be extreamly accurate.
We need to arrange a dyno shoot out
Did your manifold fit ok over the exhaust studs? I mocked mine up yesterday and the stud holes didn't line up perfectly so will need a bit of opening up to fit properly.
having just fitted mine, it was an absolute nightmare to get it all on!
I'm hoping it's well worth it in the end though!
Dan: is yours a v1 or V2 manifold? My V1 manifold needed opening out a bit to get onto the studs properly.

I saw one of the new one this weekend and test fitted it to a head.
it fitted without any issue! amazingly.. lol
only one of the nuts will be awkward.. open ended spanner will get it, but not a ring or socket due to proximity of the runner to the stud, but its not too bad at all.
