carbers205 1 Posted November 8, 2007 Hi guys, Just wondering if the exhaust manifolds for the xu10j2 and xu9j2 heads are a direct swap? Only reason Im asking is because 4-branch manifolds seem much more common for the 205 than the 306. Cheers Andy Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
pug_ham 245 3 Cars Posted November 9, 2007 Straight swap, in fact as good as the same manifold. Stud pattern is exactly the same, I've got a manifold from an XU10 on my car now. The downpipe might be a different length between the 205 with an XU9 & a car with an XU10 though so it might not be as simple as that. Graham. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
carbers205 1 Posted November 9, 2007 Ah excellent, cheers mate. I suspect a bit of alteration will be needed in some respects to get the rest to match up but thats not a major issue. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
