Manifold difference?? Advice needed

[andyahp]

Apologies if this has been asked before. I recently bought a stainless steel exhaust for my GR. I felt the need to as the current system is a complete lash up with two 90 degree bends in the back box!!!
On initial attempt to fit, we realised we couldn't as there was no flange on the downpipe, so I bought a new downpipe, only to find that it has RPW manifolds so the downpipe won't fit now! My question is are the manifolds the same on all 2.0 V6 FTOs as our only option is to replace the manifolds aswell. Any advice is grateful in adavance

no they are not all the same
an equal lenght manifold is longer and comes down lower than the standard mani's, but then they join at the Y pipe and that is a perfect fit for the mid section flexi pipe

I've bought standard manifolds and also have a standard downpipe so they should go together no problem.
