Well the better the original, the less gain there is to be had right?

For Petrol V8 owners its the most important of all power / economy mods IMO. Anything else will just be hampered by the lack of gas flow. If you run to a full striaght through system at 57mm and do nothing else you will find your power band has moved upwards. Its now like driving a Sprint. it likes it and rewards you for it. However if you just build some down pipes that convert from 57mm to slip over the original system about 18" further back you get the benefits of removing the restriction and keeping the power band where it is. If you decide to build more power simply rip the rest out and build the whole 57mm thing.


The Offside one is easy to do and just requires the downpipe collector to be cut and rotated. If two studs run parallel with the chassis rail. It can be angles so the handbrake rod will then clear the pipe by 1/4" and doesn't foul when on or off. I have pics of 3 different version of the nearside manifold. Crossovers that go under the bell housing and the main box. Pics of MGB headers too. Let me know if you want them too.

I suggest you take them all now if you think you might need them in the future.

I do t know yet I need to try it out on the road to see what it's like at 13V + It's effectivley a 600W Immersion heater. Once it's up to temperature is cuts in and out. So it can be powered up as soon as we leave . Then as long as it's hot by the time we pull up for a break, it gets to stay. It should be OK they fit them in site workers vans to make hot drinks with.
