fire&iceG60 0 Posted May 18, 2005 hi i have been looking at manifolds for my golf mk2 g60 and was wondering which i should get. i have been looking at supersprint one's on tsr but then i saw tsr's 4 into 1 manifold they do. which is the best to pic out off these 2 or are there beter makes. cheers.

woody 0 Posted May 19, 2005 people do rave about the TSR manifold on corrado's Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
fire&iceG60 0 Posted May 19, 2005 i have just had some information about a jmr iflow manifold does anyone use these and can you tell me what they are like. thankyou. this is not because i dont belive what you claim 16vg60 just would like some other input on it. thankyou.

Henny 0 Posted May 19, 2005 I've got one on J-DUB... It's nicely made, much bigger internal bore and fits nicely without catching on anything... Can't tell you what kind of difference it's made 'cos I did another few grands worth of work while the car was apart when I fitted it... :| Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
fire&iceG60 0 Posted May 19, 2005 does it give a near standard sound or do you have a full system. did you get the extra porting done. what is the difference from a 4 into 1 and a 4 2 1. apart from the number off pipes :D cheers Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Henny 0 Posted May 19, 2005 can't comment on sound either as I changed A LOT of the engine... including toothed belt drive for the charger which kinda drowns out any other noises! :oops: :lol: 4:1 is manifold and pipes all in one (normally) which can increase torque due to the lenghts of the headers before they all join together... The G60 has a 2 output manifold as standard and then the downpipe converts it to a single output, so is basically a 4:2:1 system... To get any real advantage out of a high flow downpipe you REALLY need to get the exhaust manifold ported and flowed too... Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
fire&iceG60 0 Posted May 19, 2005 so if the 4:1 increases torque. will the 4:2:1 do the same been a high flow system. how long have you had your manifold on for and have you had any problems. cheers Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Henny 0 Posted May 20, 2005 I've had the manifold fitted to the car for over a year now... although she got written off late October... :( No problems with it during that time though...8) The 4:1 will have longer tubes on it which is why it'll make better torque... it's the length of the tubes that makes the difference (I have no idea why, I just know that's how it works to a point... :| ) The hi-flow will help with torque, just not quite to the same level as a 4:1 will... The best bit about the hi-flow down pipe is that it retains some of the flexibility of the original so won't crack which is something that 4:1 pipes tend to suffer from unless you use VERY stiff engine mounts... :| Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
