K11 manifold onto a k10

[curtis]

Does the k11 performace exhuast maniolds fit the k10?

Iirc Speedle put the 4-2-1 that on mine now from a k11

If not anyone know what modification would have to be done?

If the bolts line up, then i dont really have any problems as i have a custom exhuast system anyway

thanks in advance!

i doubt the port,s would line up, and k10 has 6 studs, but k11 has 8

Didnt he cut the flange off the K11 one and weld on the K10 one?

yes he used a k10 flange, and welded it onto the k11 manifold after he cut the k11 flange off obviously.

p.s. if anyone is in need of a k10 exhaust or inlet flange i have a few of each spare.

humm Might have to give longlife exhuasts a ring lol

I've got one of these flanges so I can tell you the quality is impressive

Yeh thing i might have one as the welds on the orginial flanges are quite bad and already letting fumes out, so might re-do them

 

[Speedle]

its was a bit harder than that. the pipes on the k11 manifold had to be super heated and ever so slighty bent to line up as the k11 manifold does not line up with the k10 ports.

the manifold on the k10 i fitted was from the NME k11 so i cant imagine any othermaniold being beter than that.

welding the flange on was also very difficult, hence the quality of welds

 

[curtis]

I dont think it was the welds that were that bad as i believe the exhuast popping might have created a couple of the holes in the manifold, need to get the webers tuned! lol

tbh the metal almost collapsed when welding so i was warned by my mate of 40 years welding that it could leak but i guess as it was working i thought nothing of it a nice custom 4-2-1 in stainless would be much better but then i was trying to do all this on a resonable budget..... still spent too much money on that car lol

lol longlife quoted £420 for a stainless steel mani ... :wow:

Think ill get a look out for a k11 one in good condition and well on some k10 flanges

 

[Speedle]

the flange on the current one will be fine to reuse mate it was the fact that the tubing on the manifold was so thin that casued it to go a bit fubar
