Hi all, thanks for your help with the exhaust manifold, I should be buying a maniflow large bore LCB
The inlet manifold in question is a Swan neck I think, all I've heard about swan necks is if you run one with a weber you might aswell ditch the whole thing and run a single SU lol
But looking at this manifold, it looks to me like it would flow quite well, it's quite long atleast 5.5" (don't know how you measure them but see pic)
It looks similar to the janspeed manifold in vizards that can mount twin SUs or a weber.




what do you receon?
Also does anyone have any opinions on the MED DCR system for the weber 45?

I'm using that manifold and it works well on my engine. 100 bananas at the wheels.

Well mine looks pretty identical anyway, even if its not the same.

A big K&N filter, with ordinary weber ram pipes. 38mm chokes and 3.5 auxillary venturi I think.

Pretty long setup....you'll need a deep box for that one, but it seems to have a nice straight path. I've been very happy with my Maniflow 3.75". Unfortunately, still too tight to run the MED stacks though that seem promising.

minimole: Cool sounds good, need to check mine, I'll be using a pipercross filter I think

Eric: Yeah I was thinking that, I'll just cut a hole and build a box around it, seen your austin america on youtube, sounds nice and goes really well from what I can see!

That's what I was running as well. The MED ram-pipe setup and a 5" inlet. Now I need the bulkhead to be stock, so I've bought a special Maniflow 3" inlet. Still not a swan neck.

Mine gets in the way a bit, but only when it is up. If it is down it does not cause a problem.
