172 exhaut manifold

[woodster]

can you fit a 182 exhaust manifold to a 172???

do it make a great difference?? or is their a performance manifold out there, that i just cant find on the web

Yes but some cutting is required, yes, not AFAIK but you could try and PM j3ned.

You can, but its a b**ch to fit by all acounts.... modified exhaust, engine out, etc.... probably two days work... £££££££



Good gains apparently...

Where most of the 10bhp increase comes from.

Aye, that and a more free flowing cat.....

I wonder what the labour costs would actually be... has anyone on here put the 182 fanimold on their 172?

Didnt Mike do one on Fubars car?

 

[badinvincible]

Alan_C has it done too IIRC.

either remove the engine, or drop the subframe to fit it!!!

mint, got a few mates who could help me with that. "j3ned" thanks mate but ive already got one . just wondering thought will the exhaust hang in the right place so i can mate it back up with my original exhaust????

nope youll have to cut and shut your old exhaust to fit
