P38 4.6 Exhaust Manifolds

kooky_guy · Jul 16, 2009

Hi Dudes,

I've got a crack in one of my manifolds so will need to replace it at some point.

Is it best just to replace it with another standard tubular jobbie, or is there any real benefit to going for something a bit modified (in which case I would need to replace both - downside!).

There is a theory that my cats have been removed or otherwise buggered about with so I might need to replace the whole system at some point and was wondering about something slightly more rumbly sounding. Anybody got any suggestions?

Hi guy, i dont think you would get any thing much better than the standard manifolds as they are made from stainless and have the heat shields around them, which is a must. After maret ones will be pretty much the same.

Dont bother with new ones,if they are cracked just mig them up - they weld beautifully with mild steel wire.

Unfortunately it's cracked in the flexi looking bit so for me, it would be easier to replace it. Probably.

If they're stainless, shouldn't they be all nice and shiny still? Mine are all rusty!

Even stainless does get dull and stained over age when not cleaned and due to the high temperatures
