Guess what arrived ot about 9am
No packing just a fold of cardboard taped at both ends not very secure.
I paid $80 for postage the dispatch/usps labels says it was $62.04
So if an exhaust manifold which isn't light costs $62 how can people justify
well over $100 for a set of headlights or something smaller weighing less.
I placed both Voyager exhaust manifolds lined up on the table outside the
garage, spanners and a pair of wire cutters to prop them up as though bolted
to a flat surface. This is to show how much difference there is between the
positions of the outlets.
I couldn't find a picture showing this on the net, so I did one for comparison
reasons.
I previously stated I might have to tilt the engine to make clearance for the exhaust,
I don't have to now thanks to jimbo pointing me to the right exhaust manifold.
So since the back doesn't need moding, and my engine is 2 inches lower than jimbo's,
can i get away with the exact same intake manifold?
Jimbo's intake manifold doesn't have exhaust gas recycle but that can be installed as
it's not cast iron but it is alloy or aluminium.
The manifolds I have seen aren't as low a profile as Jimbo's unfortunately.
A little more work done on the transmisson mount, holes drilled for receiving the old
neon mount. I have removed part of the side plate that was welded in, so the mount can
slide in to be easily changed.
The picture below shows the untouched side yet, but from the red line to the right of it has
to be removed. Then a few bits of tube for the bolts to co through and give it more strength.
