Exhaust Manifold Swap

Recommended Posts

carbers205

Hi guys,

 

Just wondering if the exhaust manifolds for the xu10j2 and xu9j2 heads are a direct swap?

Only reason Im asking is because 4-branch manifolds seem much more common for the 205 than the 306.

 

Cheers

Andy

Straight swap, in fact as good as the same manifold.

 

Stud pattern is exactly the same, I've got a manifold from an XU10 on my car now.

 

The downpipe might be a different length between the 205 with an XU9 & a car with an XU10 though so it might not be as simple as that.

 

Graham.

Ah excellent, cheers mate.

I suspect a bit of alteration will be needed in some respects to get the rest to match up but thats not a major issue.
