    You're looking at moving into the black art of shifting power bands according to exhaust pulses there... if you're going to work all of that out I'd spend your time putting it on aftermarket management etc first, because the manifold isn't going to make the most noticeable difference on a vauxhall/ford/random parts bin engine

    Cylinder 1 pipe is 4 inches in lenth. Cylinder 2 is 5 inches etc etc?


    What happens if this is the case?

    Thanks again for the write up
    I wouldn't concern your self to greatly with this as MK99999999 9999 said its far past the concerns of even the most keen enthusiasts, even some OEM cast manifolds have uneven length runners.

    plus on a turbo its not as crucial as an N/A. in theory you want to keep them as short as possible thought
