manifold fabrication Q's

[Jordan99940]

has anybody got a shot of there car when up in the air i.e. on a service ramp. reason i ask is i bought a manifold off ebay for a focus so there for down pipe will not connect to the rest of the system unless its fabricated/bodged but i don't know what the differences between the focus and escort system is so has any body got a picture of either so i can see roughly what needs to go where

 

any help is appreciated thanks guys

has the manifold got a 3 bolt triangular flange?? if so you can get a custom cat/decat pipe made to have that flange or you can ask the custom exhaust place to cut the flange off and weld a normal 2 bolt diamond shape flange on instead.

 

got a picture of the manifold and down pipe?

HAZAAH I DO and IT DOES have the triangular part i shall show if i can find the pics goes to look for the pics

ah yes well those other pipes apart from the manifold are basically useless to bolt onto an escort sorry!!! but the manifold can be adapted to suit an escort, i think you should bolt the manifold on yourself, then get the car towed to somewhere like powerflow and get them to make up a new cat or decat section for the car and problem solved i think.

[Jordan99940]

i thought something like that would be the needed. so i need to get a pipe made up how much would this roughly cost me?

[Jordan99940]

Would something like this not do. or would it be to much of a risk because the mongoose brand decat is not the same as the manifold ? would it be something like this thou that is what is needed?

noooo thats an rs2k one it will be very shorter than what you need!! like i said custom place may charge around £100 or more

[Jordan99940]

in this case do you know any where in the south east area that does this or does any body know any help is gladly welcomed

[Jordan99940]

i paid 70 for the custom bit i had made

[Jordan99940]

where was that done at seeing as you are local ish to where i am so shouldnt have to travel that far

[SLEEMAN]

well places do vary with prices so just go down there or give em a call you'll find their details on the powerflow website!

[Jordan99940]

yeah i did have a lil look on there suprised how local it was to me tbh i was expecting to travel miles and miles but might just go ahead with them ask them if they know what im talking about over the phone lol cheers for all the help guys

[SLEEMAN]

its better if you show em in person, but make certain you say that you will fit the manifold as what they will do is they will put it on and its gonna cost over £500 to do it which is ridiculous to change a manifold over as it only takes an hour! trust i've already asked!
