Exhaust mani question
Turbo Mini Forums

So as iv got some spare time on my hands thought I'd do a bit of getting some of my parts. Now I want to flow the exhaust mani better but when I looked at it the 2 separaters are cracked and have bits broken off. Iv looked at other people examples and there not like this and there flush with mating face. Does this matter? Iv got a dremel at the ready but don't wanna waste my time if its no good. Any help is much appreciated.

i got nothing but time..

looks like a horrible manifold tbh

is the rest of it ok? no holes?

if money is a real factor clean it up but if it where me i'd either offer it for free or chuck it

if another piece drops off it will set about destroying your turbo, carb and engine >.<

oooooh!

get a grinding bit in there and clean it back to good metal.

If you cant get it looking ok flog it on ebay and get another lol

The rest of it looks good actually. No cracks or anything suspicious. Although the turbo it was bolted to had loads of cracks on the exhaust side. So it seems it's got particularly hot at some point, the turbos fudged anyway. Moneys not massively an issue just thought its handy if it was ok but I didn't thinking about more bits breaking off it tbh, i might just have a quick Tickle with the Dremel and Hiw it comes up but I'll most likely try and flog it or scrap it. Cheers guys!! Whilst were on this subject, has many of you had them ceramic coated? As I'm looking into either wrapping it or getting it coated, more towards the coating tbh because it's less faff and looks neater IMO.

i'd go with wrapping as its cheap
cost me about £5 to do it and as its off the car you can do a good job and make it look neat

i went for black over beige
looks abit more tarty/less obvious
(2 metres is perfect btw.)

Yeah it's true I Spose. It is easier whilst its off and cheaper. Ok cheers, Think I might have some knocking around for when I did it last time on my mani.
