80 V6 Exhaustmanifold ???

[sorens2]

Hi Guys

I know this is concerning a V6 but does anyone know where I can get an (two) exhaustmanifold for a Audi 80 V6 2.8 l (174 hp) 1992 ?
I´ve searched everywhere.
It´s for my friends car and I´m mounting a compressor these days. I´m concerned that we might burn the ex.valves if we don´t mount a free flow exhaust. Hoping for 250 hp. Any comments.

Are you looking for standard manifolds?

[sorens2]

No No No. . . .

Never met anyone that want´s to fit standards.
Must be like Supersprint or like.

Don't think anyone makes exhaust manifolds for the 2.6 / 2.8 V6 engines, there simply isn't enough demand. You'll even find it difficult to find an aftermarket ex. manifold for the later generation 30V V6 motors - Biturbo included.

I suppose it won't be difficult for a competent exhaust manufacturer to build you one, if you give them your dimensions etc.

I have seen, but don't know where to find, equal-length headers for the V6 12v. I once considered finding a pair for my car, but I'm pursuing a different engine swap now and I'm going to need custom headers anyway....

[sorens2]

Well. I know they will be hard to find.... keeping my hopes up

Try going to an exhaust fabricator,and getting something made,as u will struggle as pointed out to find header for that model due to no demand,someone said have seen but this may have been a small run,and very unlikely that they will still make them(may find old stock)place beside me who do stainless steel exhaust do some great work,and build all there own backboxes,manifold and more,im sure they'll be something similair near u,and cost wise wont be cheap but wont be any dearer than say an aftermarket stainless manifold and if u search around the net and get some idea's of a design u could get something far better than anything supersprint etc will make
