G60 Exhaust Manifold and Downpipe on a KR 16v

As the above asks, the manifold in question is from a 91 G60 C...

 

Any idea guys??

not sure why you would want to do this, the KR engine has no CAT so you'd need a de-cat pipe as well as the downpipe.

The manifold for the G60 is 8v so that bit wouldn't fit the 16v head, and I'm not sure if the downpipe and de-cat pipe would affect the performance of the engine, the KR downpipe with built in first silencer is designed for the 16v and flows perfectly well, the main improvement being from internally cleaning up the casting marks and polishing the 16v cast exhaust manifold.

Some top end gains can be made from replacing the entire manifold and downpipe with an all in one four branch, but these can have problems knocking, cracking, heating up other components on the car and affecting low end torque, not really worth it on a daily driver IMO.

You can fit the PG (right and left hand drive are different) downpipe to a KR manifold and then into a Supersprint 51-cm Golf G60 cat bypass pipe and then the KR exhaust will mate up perfectly to the cat pipe. We do this on Golf 2 conversions where we want to add a lambda sensor for throttle body conversions on 16v's and on 8v Digifant models when we add a piggy back ECU controller with a lambda function.

Seen one at a decent price, and as i'm having no luck finding a KR setup, was just considering my options. Cheers for the replies....
