Z22Se 4-2-1 Exhaust - Manzo Brand, Initial Photos

Following the chronology it would appear that this Manzo brand one is a 'homage' to the Weapon-R exhaust.
Most importantly for me the trickiest fabrication was done - the manifold itself (4-2 part)- and I can handle the downpipe (2-1 part) and the cat etc. myself.
The following photos are mostly without commentary, but i'll answer questions if there are any.

All in all worth the money to use as a base, but you get what you pay for.

Interesting design. I had a crack at making a manifold many years ago. not welded for 10+ years and it was a proper abortion of a job! Needed a bit more practice before I started! I suspect this one would foul the clam as it looks to project from the engine a fair way but I like the 4-2-1 design of it. The collectors look a bit gash but as you say it could be price driven. Switch these out for a hydroformed collector and it'd be far better. Inside pics look on par with what I made

My constraints are that I don't want to change my backbox and need a cat, so I only need to deal with the in-between bits.
The collectors can be accessed by my long die grinder and I have a factory full of qualified welders who are more interested in having a look at it than doing their actual work.
Now that I have the ability to edit the ECU maps i'm sure I can squeeze something out of it.

You need to cut into the boot to fit this ðŸ‘.
My car produced good torque with this manifold compared to similar spec cars with a 4-1 manifold.

I have a new engine coming, so I am waiting until that arrives to help me mock up where the cut out needs to be.

Many years ago some swedish people did the Weapon R thing.
I found the thread but most of the pictures are gone.
On page 11 there is still a picture of the cut-out and the heatshielding he made up.
Oh, it is all in swedish.

I've mined the available pictures from the thread. That will help a lot.
