Exhaust system.

[Paul Amey]

I have a 2 litre Vitesse and am deciding what to do exhaust system wise. The standard manifold seems very heavy, but I am told the sports six branch manifold can be tight to fit.  Does anyone have any experiance or thoughts on this please?

a 63 1 can be a tight fit  to the stg column 

the collector depends on design but often the expansion chnages makes the 3 -1  a slip joint which can plague you with exhaust blowing 

various fixes for that can be used 

tubular manifolds do ping and underbonnet is a good bit noisier than a cast maniflod 

a decent bore single has a better sound quality that the twins and you dont bottom out on bumps .

I have a Phoenix 631 and had to slightly move the rack over and put a small depression in one of the tubes in the manifold to get it to fit.

It is very tight......but sounds great with a sports box.

think we coppied nicks idea to sove collector leaks  

sealers wont last

OK thanks for the reply's. Yes, I have seen a six branch manifold with a depression  in it, presumably for fitting purposes. So, basically I think it's personal choice as to which system to use.

stainless tube takes some battering to dimple a clearance 

tried that  ended up jiggling the rack across a bit
