Default 2wd drive manifold on 4x4?

Got a tubular manifold turn up, same design as a 2wd one (ie 2 piece), just wondering what problems i may face if i fit it to my 4x4 cos? i would just have a go and see, but the engines away, and not in the car

cheers
Dave

straight forward enough mate,
best get a turbo damper on it aswell to avoid breaking the mani bolts
you might need to turn the turbo as well but its straight forward enough

Downpipe will foul front prop and possibly inner wing/chassis rail.


You need to cut and modify the downpipe.

See Trev's post: https://passionford.com/forum/newrep...eply&p=2808659

All welded back together



purchased some new wrap, some new front prop bolts and a new mikalor clamp and some stainless tie wraps for the exhaust



re wrapped



Fitted and pleanty of clearance



And at last I can drive it without it bloody rubbing

i always use a 2wd manifold and have never needed to mod an exhaust
its always mega close but they've always cleared
maybe just a certain make or maybe they're bigger than the usual 3in diameter
