Hello Johan,

All the TR3/4 after market variants will work but a connecting section to lower the exhaust run under the front of the car will be required. A flexi-section here will help greatly by reducing the stress on the manifold if you hit any speed bumps etc.

Whichever you opt for, heat shields and/or other heat reduction methods are advised, such as Zircoetc coating. The tubular manifolds generate a lot of heat so mitigating their increase is advised.

Is the engine standard or tuned?

All the best,

Gary

Hi Johan.

I used the Phoenix s/s manifold from Rimmers but it's a 4 into 1 rather than 4-2-1.
It fits really well but as Frank says, it generates a lot of heat. I wrapped mine.

The downside is it exits in line with the chassis member and, as Frank says, you need to come up with a way of routing the pipe under said member. I used a couple of bent pipes from the Jetex range that allowed me to get the rest of the exhaust as close as possible to the chassis.

Hope this helps.

Mike

Hi Johan

That will be a nice engine!
When rebuilding the car some years ago we tried a Revington 4-2-1 manifold but it fouled one of the chassis tubes so we opted for the S/S Phoenix as used by Mike.
It fits nicely in the space available and sounds good. We have wrapped as much of the system as possible and it does make a difference to the temperature inside the car.

Phoenix also, I did wrap it but now have it ceramic coated by Zircotech 

Gary found some super dooper insulation but very expensive?
