Thanks for the input. The manifold I'm using is a little different than the one found on the rabbits. The outlet is offset of the center, just looks different for some reason. I don't think I'll have any trouble with flow with the rest of the exhaust system, high flow muffler and 2" mandrel bent pipe all the way around. Maybe I'll bore out the manifold if I need to. The problem is I just wasn't able to find a different manifold to fit in there. The VW shop I got the manifolds from had a few dozen engines pulled on their back lot, I went through them all. I looked at a couple from the Fox and even one in a Fox, no way that was going to fit. ????? Who knows? This will still be a better setup than what I had. I'll take some pics of it and post it when I'm finished. -- _______________________ Erik O Akron, Oh 82 GTI Westfalia http://ebyte.com/gl http://ebyte.com/wow |
