I see, my bad.  In that case then you will want an exhaust manifold from a '6' then as you should see some gain.  ________________________________________ "Supercharged - 454.1bhp/317.5lb/ft"Peugeot 306 GTi-6 2000 (X), Moonstone  |

It is a big job, as there are 3 ways to change the exhaust manifold:1. Take the cylinder head off. 2. Remove the lower subframe. 3. Take the engine out. Your choice. ________________________________________ "Supercharged - 454.1bhp/317.5lb/ft"Peugeot 306 GTi-6 2000 (X), Moonstone |

It is probably the easiest if you haven't got the need to remove/strip the engine at that point. ________________________________________ "Supercharged - 454.1bhp/317.5lb/ft"Peugeot 306 GTi-6 2000 (X), Moonstone |

XSP33 for the 3", XSP33/4 for the 4".These are certainly what the old part numbers were. Didn't know they had changed the part numbers TBH.  ________________________________________ "Supercharged - 454.1bhp/317.5lb/ft"Peugeot 306 GTi-6 2000 (X), Moonstone |

As Mei says, it can be done by removing the engine mounts and tipping the engine forwards to give enough space, although I have never tried this myself. It is awkward, but it can be done apparantly. ________________________________________ "Supercharged - 454.1bhp/317.5lb/ft"Peugeot 306 GTi-6 2000 (X), Moonstone |

Yeah when I did it to my xs, I supported the engine, removed both gearbox and upper mounts, then used a rope and a gate post to hold the engine forward! Think it took me 12 hours! It was the first big thing I'd ever done to a car! And it only stayed on for a couple of days as the devil decat I had was banging on the subframe and the manifold was rubbing on a water pipe! Was fun though! ________________________________________ MY RALLYE PROJECT |
