Has anyone fitted one of these ?

You want your head examining get a Wagner race manifold instead if he still has stock if you want that type -
I'm using similar stainless manifold. You will get 20 like this one for the price of 1 wagner
! Everything depends of steel quality some of those cheap manifolds are made from crap, but some of them are fine and with some customisation they could be perfect. 50/50 chance

can you get any pictures of the collector?Volcano ABY coupe

To follow up a little on the comments made in your other thread.
The reason the cuts are needed are with a 900 degree rise in temperature the length of the manifold will increase by:
Coeff of expansion of 316 is about 19 x 10^-6 m/m K
(900 x 19 x 0.000001 x 0.5) =0.0085m
So in all likelyhood it's going to stretch by 10mm along it's length.

i thought of buying one so that my local fabrication can copy the bends to make a proper one ( he makes chopper bikes for a living so knows what he s on about)Comment

is that rusty stainless steel?ChefComment

Landfill made in China, no wonder the world is running out of stainless steel..Comment

ok so these are no good having on a 20V or any engine for that matter, poor quality design etc !
Someone must have had experience good or bad with these on a car , either way how about we Test one of these out and see what results we get ?

Totally agree.. couldn't fault the wall thickness or welds on my manifold but willing to Test it out and see how it holds up.Comment

I am no guru on airflow / fluid dynamics, but the collector looks asolutely woeful. The thermal concerns are equally valid too.
If you want to 'test it' - have someone like JP (RWD19T) put it on his flowbench and compare how it performs vs S2 or RS2 or Wagner EMs...
Then you will have some data on what to expect from this shiny piece of metal.Paul Nugent

think this is 304 steel, not 316 or 321... cheap and will not hold together under heatstressComment
