Talk Morgan Forums Morgan Sports Cars Maintenance & Servicing Plus 4 GDI Aero Racing Manifold & Exhaust Upgrade

The next image shows how the manifold passes through the inner wing valance.....At the top it was necessary to trim a few mm for clearance.

I'd removed the wing stays to get more room to remove the original manifold, but it didn't help.

The large hole in the valance to the left of the pipes, I've closed off with an aluminium plate.



This is the next section down to the cat and as you can see, is way too close to my mudflap and brackets.



This is how the cat sits. I'd previously applied reflective insulation to the fuel pipes front to rear.



The new sensors went in easily and the next stage is basic nuts and bolts.





This image shows the rear twin tailpipe. The L shaped bracket is slotted and so the tailpipe rests in a shallow bobbin, which rests on a new stronger exhaust bracket. Obviously to fit this entails removing the luggage rack and spare wheel!

Fitting the bobbin is best described as "fiddly". This bobbin doesn't come with washers and nuts. But I have a shelf crammed with such indispensables.



You might think it's all over at this stage..............



But my exhaust assembly paste was going off, and I had to reconfigure the mudflaps.......and replace my engine heat shield which no longer fitted.........

To be continued.................
