4 to 2 exhaust manifolds and downpipes

[jimbob-mcgrew]

would you guys say the 4-2, gte/gsi manifold is any better than the 4-2, 1.3 or 1.4. they all look very similar in design ?

and the 2-1 downpipe on the 1.3's are the shortest of the bunch, the 1.4 a little longer, the gte/gsi the longest, but again, all fairly similar design.

what say you ?

[Novasport]

14NV is a nice design, E16SE is also good.

[Novasport]

14NV compared to a Janspeed 4-2-1

[Balley]

The janspeed looks much better, although a gte system is wider and better than the NV system.

[Novasport]

I went for an NV so it would mate up to a 1.3/1.4 Magnex. I think the 1.6 routes/mounts differently.

[jimbob-mcgrew]

cheers for the pics novasport.

i heard that too, about the mounting. does the gte/gsi have different mount points on the chassis ?

would be cool if anyone else has a shot or 2 of a gte manifold / downpipe

The only difference I've seen between GTE and the Cat equipped GSi & SRi is the bracket to the floor pan on the downpipe (to help with the weight), you can see the same on Rich's pics above. Manifold and down pipe are the same length and terminate in the same place and then have sprung bolts to connect to centre section (GTE) or Cat (GSi/SRi).

GTE non cat exhausts do not line up the same as 1.3/1.4's at the join between downpipe and the system, been there and had the problems

[Novasport]

Yes, I was sure they were routed differently aswell.

1.3/1.4 has a straight fit where it joins the centre section.
GTE/GSI joins at an angle.
