STR Audi 20V exhaust manifold

OK, I recieved the thing today. It comes with a pair of gloves! What the.....?!

They sprayed it with some grey paint, but I have no idea if it has a special function or something like that.

the last one for now

It's a bit better finishing than the XS-Power manifold I would say. I had that one before, so can compare it.

I hope to start building very soon, as I have also ordered injectors, etc.

Just need to re-calibrate my 250Kpa MAP sensor to 300..... Anyone has an address for that?

Where are studs?

Hi,

Very interesting manifold , however:

Where are studs for WG and turbo mounting? From what I see, there's no thread for them in the holes. WTF? Are you going to bolt stuff by bolts and nuts?

Also, it seems, that this manifold has no collector for all cylinders to come into one place. What will happen to the exaust valves in cylinders 1 and 5. Are you aware of this? I mean are there success stories of running this manifold, or you will be the guinea pig?

OK, thanks! 80 Euro is not too bad

I have ordered the studs at 034 Motorsport. The holes in the STR manifold at the WG and turbo have threads as normal manifolds have. It's hard to see from the pictures, I admit.

Concerning the collector..... 034 Motorsport had exactly the same design of manifold and that one flows over 500 HP. Too bad that the 034 one had some issues with the material they used.

So in a sense I will be the guinea pig yes

Let's hope for the best. I will start with a RS2 turbo setup first to test the manifold
