Hi all,

Flange snapped off my exhaust last week at 65mph which made it very loud all of a sudden. Still drove OK with just the manifold but fuel consumption did suffer a touch...

If I buy a maniflow small bore system, which inlet manifold do I need to let me run the original carb for a while until I get the 12G940 rebuild finished? Ideally I would fit the exhaust, put the same carb on a new manifold and have no re-tuning to do, until I get the larger carb and swap the engine and can set it all up then.

Or shall I just buy a new S/S system and use that?

I've never fitted an exhaust before so any hints tips would be much appreciated.

Thanks in advance,

Edd

Just cut the inlet section off the old manifold, and use that meantime.

Ok I'll have a go at grinding that off, thanks!

Cut first - well in to the part you want to throw away - then grind back the part you are keeping till it fits nicely without touching the exhaust. This alone will release another ~ 2 mighty horse power to your engine - by eliminating the 'hot spot' .

2 Horsepower, sounds good to me. Retune carb to achieve that though yes?

Having seen that an alumised exhaust is only £55 I am tempted to just do that. Maniflow would be nice but it is dear

I would just stick with the aluminised exhaust - when I 'upgraded' mine I noticed very little difference. However a better/no hot-spot inlet IS worth having.
