Pics of 182 manifold on 172

[Gib#244]

Has anyone got any pics of a 182 manifold on a 172 (underneath the car)

Thing is i'm puttin mine on in the nxt couple of weeks and i'm wanting to see how people have modifyed there's to fit on!

I have a pic of mine of where mine's been cut, bought it like that, i can modify it myself but am wanting to see how people have done there's. making a de-cat pipe up but wanting to know the length

why o why did they cut it! makes life SO much harder

I'll be interested in this too - I wouldnt like to cut it, are there any other ways of getting it to fit Fred? Does it need a decat to work correctly?

Heard it was an engine up in the hoist job to get it in - I presume also (lot of assumptions I know) that you won't get the 10bhp without a remap?

waste of time

na the engine stays put, the subframe needs to be dropped down a bit to get it on

you can run a sport cat, but thats a gay and expensive thing to do

whats the best way to go about it now then?? all i need is one to copy off so i can get it right then make my de-cat pipe up to fit the manifold and the rest of my exhaust system.
Any measurement's????

Why the f**k did they cut it.

Looks like the fire damaged one Matt was selling a couple of weeks back.

Thats who i got it off! it no problem about making a new piece up, i've got the tools and materials to do that! just have to find one with it already done, and they can tell me the measurement's of the joing piece! lol

Pretty sure David at K-tec said they do both a decat and sports cat to join a 182 manifold and 172 cat back.

That may of been a lie, i don't care.

 

[Gib#244]

yeah they do a de-cat for the 182 manifold to bolt on to the 172 existing exhaust,

 

[Dave.]

yeah but you will be screwed come mot time as you wont have a cat that will fit.......

 

[Englebert]

Then get the sports cat... or go to a dodgy MOT centre.

I have a 182 manifold and the sports cat from K-tec. It fits!
