Maniflow Vs. PlayMini
Turbo Mini Forums

Hello,

I have just bought a Maniflow turbo downpipe, link pipe and rear single box 2" system, so in some respects my question asking now is somewhat flawed, but anyway lol i suppose i could always return it!

The question is simple, am i better with this system running a 1293 turbo engine and dont know whether to keep the exisiting playmini back box which has a slightly larger tailpipe, surely im right going for the maniflow system?!

Cheers!

tail pipe is basically for looks and i wouldnt say it would make much difference. a 2.5" system with a 3" tail pipe will flow near enough the same as a 2.5" system with a 2.5" tailpipe.

i think i would be right in saying that....

the single maniflow back box is a no no
i had on on the benross machine and it killed it

it only flows well up to 120bhp then it strangles the flow somewhat

a large bore play mini back box is the one to go for ..... trust me

WHy is that Ben? A 2" pipe with e free flowing box will not flow less if it's called Maniflow or not.

V i fitted a 2" maniflow to my motor
My son was at the back and he saw a large circular swirling 5ft cloud of fumes
Under 16psi of boost

This suggested to me that the engine was been choked after designing and having made my own back box the car was soooo much better

having researched and found out the 2" maniflow only flowed enough with no restriction for 120BHP

heres my design

What diameter is the Maniflow downpipe, 2"?

dunno but i managed to squeeze a 2/12 home made downpipe on my GT17, should be interesting to see what the difference is? Thats whats used on the saabs? So it must be of a benifit!!!!

doh....2 and 1/2!!!!!

"Cars are a lifetime of pain"

im pretty sure the Maniflow is 1.75"

Rod s was talking about it not to long ago.

I'll measure mine tonight.

The downpipe i mean

just measured mine. it is indeed 1.75"

impressive or what!

steve, could there be another explaination? maybe damage or a blockage?

i can pretty much see right through my 2" maniflow backbox, so dont understand what there is to restrict the flow?

"did you know you can toast potato waffles?"

to get the noise levels down.

also mine are turned upside down and stuffed right up so i can run the car a fair bit lower.

Not at all. Miglia Exhaust as that way because they HAVE yo use a specific Rover silencer. If they had the choice, they'd use something completely different!
