Any one have any luck with the eBay special $169.99 turbo manifolds with 3" v bands? I want to buy a set but are unsure of how wide they stick out.
If anyone that has them willing to help me out with a few measurements, id greatly appreciate it.
-With them installed do they sit wider than the stock truck manifolds flipped?
-Will they fit in relatively the same amount of space as flipped truck manifolds with v bands welded?
-How wide are they installed from one manifold to the other?... my current truck manifolds are 29 inches from the farthest point on each manifold to the other.
Id like to make sure they will be relatively close to truck manifolds size before purchasing.
These are a few pics of them on ebay and here are a few pics on a mustang fox. Im just worried about the side clearance of them they look to stick out pretty fat and wide. My strut tower to strut tower is about 34-36 inches depennding on how high up i measure. The stock flipped manifolds are about 28" inches and fit in there with plenty of space.
It looks like to me like from strut tower to strut tower is pretty tight
I'd like to know how people are supporting their turbochargers when using the cheap/thin ebay manifolds. Surely they are not hanging off those headers, it seems that they would bend and crack real fast.
The flanges are actually pretty thick. I want to say 1/2" or so. I am hanging my 66/65's off of them with no bracing but I cut the V bands off and went straight T4 flange. That shortened them up quite a bit. I have had them in the car for about 2 months (street/track) and haven't had any issues yet.
Got to be something up with them... No way they are that good for that price
That's what i thought. When i modified mine i went through them with a fine tipped comb.. Few defects here and there but for the most part they were pretty decent. Those little Chinese ******* are getting good. I will say this, The ones i have look to be a little different than the ones posted here. The collector on these look different.
For that price you could modify them, if need be, & still come out all right.
FWIW, the last fox turbo headers I did were similar to this but I kept the piping on two cylinders at port height & the other two below. That makes for more room to access the plugs & not burn wires.
