robmar Posted January 9, 2002 Share Posted January 9, 2002 I have an option to change to my standard (ie not great) manifold to a caterham 4-1 competition model, for a very reasonable price, from a very nice man on this site. But I have some concerns about it fitting and want to know if it will fit before I part with my mullar This is for a 1.6 K series, and I want to retain for now the standard box with cat. Having taken some measurements the main area of concern is that I will have to chop off a section of the pipe coming out of the can, this in it self is not a problem however there will not be very much overlap where the end of the manifold and the can overlap, by my measurement 4-5 cms. Will this be enough? Anyone else done this. I know I can getter a better designed manifold elsewhere however this is an on the cheap solution, plus I only have the 1.6 Supersport.

timbo Posted January 9, 2002 Share Posted January 9, 2002 I am planning exactly the same project - slieving the 4 into 1 manifold onto the cat silencer. 1st I have to find a manifold to replace the std item. I'll watch this thread with interest. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
JP Posted January 9, 2002 Share Posted January 9, 2002 Mine is a 4-1 into the standard cat'd manifold on a 1.6KSS. I didn't do the work, so I can't tell you how easy it was. The manifold is designed to become a 4-2-1 later by changing the collector and silencer. Powerspeed made it for me, so it might not be exactly the same dimensions as yours but I have some dig pictures which may be of interest to you. If I can get my webspace to work at anything other than a snails pace I'll put them up on the net - alternatively, if you e-mail me I'll e-mail them back to you. (This will be tomorrow as I'm on bloody call again tonight!) James. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
