As always, if pics don't show below hit refresh or F5.

I made "Version 2" of my BEGI FM tubular replacement this past week. Difference between the original is I made the outer 2 primaries a little more direct but they cover two of the stud holes. You have to trim them short to fit. Add vbands, the new watercooled tial MVS, and a GT3071R...this setup is making me giggle. The fact that I could run this on my car doesn't help! (the other style manifolds I make require removing stuff I don't want to remove).

Downpipe to come next.

 

Uhh! Uhh! Let me sell my FMII!

 

i need a towel!

 

Na man you need Shamwow.

 

Do a 1.6 mani and downpipe and i,ll be your first customer.

 

Looks like you're warming up to build mine?

 

I want to make love to it

 

Do want, with a replacement 3" downpipe... Looks like I have to get in line though.

 

Confucius say, man who make love to exhaust pipe have hot rod.

 

Damn you TurboTim, I've got a bad case of manifold envy now! I really like the V-band connection for the turbo, no more annoying mounting studs to deal with.

 

could the turbo hit the chassis?

 

Badass Tim! Got a pic of inside the collector?

See my build thread for helpful hints on how to deal with turbo-chassis clearance.

 

I still love your car though

 

And it does clear perfectly. Does not look to bad in person.

 

That looks like a fun one to make!

I could do a 1.6 manifold, but can't guarantee fitment on the downpipe when going vbands.

You're next. Are you sure you don't want this type of mani?

As it is, yep. I think there's info on FM's site on what you need to trim to get the 3071 to fit. Or you can bolt it on like I did and mark the chassis, roll it, done. The overhang there is about an inch long.

I'll get one and reply soon.

 

that manifold was exactly what he was describing to me, that you were going to build him, yesterday.

Pic of the last low mount/centered build. I finally figured a way to add a flex to the EWG pipe and went with a vband on the 3" pipe instead of a double slip/springs. Makes life a lot easier.

Jesel got with the times and purchased a laser engraver. Guess who's in charge of setting it up? hehe.
