Standard manifold?

[DSYKES5500 22]

Hi all,

 

I've noticed when looking at everyone's engine rebuild threads that their manifold looks quite short. Here's a picture of mine, is this non- standard? Thanks.

That's a Magnex stainless steel 4 branch. Or one of the copies that are on the market these days.

 

What is the rest of the exhaust like?

Hi Jack, it's all stainless pipe with a stainless back box. I didn't spot the manifold as being different when I bought it though.

Are the Magnex ss manifolds any good?

That looks like the entire Magnex system you have then. If you're going to have an aftermarket system that's probably the best off-the-shelf one.

 

It made a few bhp more than standard in contemporary tests unlike any other aftermarket systems for the 205. The original exhaust itself can't really be improved on but the manifold can (slightly!)
