    Manifold / Elbow Options CA18DET

    Hi All,

    My tubular manifold (no idea what make as it was on the car when I bought it) has started to crack.

    I bought a stock manifold a while back but when I went to change it over it wouldn't line up with my current exhaust elbow (again, no idea what make as it was on the car before).

    I've had a look for some tubular manifolds but there doesn't seem to be a huge ammount of choice unless I want to spend £500+ for APW/Custom.

    I don't really know much about exhausts but what would be the easiest way to go about this?

    Is it possible to buy an aftermarket elbow that will fit up to my stock manifold? or doest it have to be exhaust system specific? The only thing I know about my exhaust is that it says 'Performance' on the tip, its one piece 3" straight through.

    Or will a stock elbow fit up to my aftermarket downpipe? or will it be too restrictive?

    Car is a stage 2 ca18det

    Cheeerrssss

    Stock mani is your best option, use a stock elbow?

    I emailed Jperformance who came back pretty promptly and have said that this elbow: http://www.jperformance.co.uk/nissan...bow-p-792.html

    Will fit to the standard mani without issues

    So seems like that should be the easiest way to go about it... we shall see!

    Youll need new studs/nuts and gaskets
