Quiet Free Flowing Mi Exhaust.

Recommended Posts

kyepan

Hi there,

 

I've had a mani-blow, and it flowed well, and revved freely to the limiter but was very loud, and fell to bits constantly.

 

I've had a standard phase 2 exhaust and standard Mi manifold and it is reasonably quiet... but it feels a bit strangled up top above 5500...

 

Is the restriction in the manifold, or the system or both...

 

I know dave baker said the standard exhaust was fine.. for 8v's but is this the case for MI's with a cam, i'm not sure I agree.

 

 

any thoughts..

I'm not convinced that the exhaust itself is a particularly big limitation for modest levels of tune - if you do a search, I know that Maxi for example was getting something like 215-220hp on a standard Bosal system (the same as I recall you've got) coupled to a standard GTi-6 manifold.

Sarty had a maniflow I think at 240bhp :) (manifold only I think, the rest was powerflow branded)

 

Miles does some very nice systems, made by an ex maniflow welder IIRC, plus manifolds.

The manifold does make quite a difference, A good phase 2 system is Ok as well but allot of the pattern one's are slightly too small these days, The manifolds I do can come in stainless now so they won;t rust like the mild steel ones but I've known the mild ones to last a good 7 years without any problems as Simes & G Ellis car had the first one's I did and knowing both car's still have them on with no issue's

i have a full bosal system and re angled manifold for my MI.. always planned to sort the manifold, but was considering a full system too.

 

Thanks for the feedback guys.
