Whatever pic you tried to post doesnt work.


I think early 2wd cosworths...ie 3drs used an exhaust that split into two up the middle. And possibly some 4x4's too ??

ie

http://www.ebay.co.uk/itm/ford-sierr...p2047675.l2557

So from a point of view of mating to a V-engine with two exhausts, one of those might be easiest.

Surely any local motor factors can get a replacement exhaust for your actual car though ?

eg go to this online catalogue

Granada is longer, so no it wont fit. That isnt to say it couldnt be adapted, but you're back into cutting and welding again

The MK2 Granada one listed again....may be similar, but definitely not going to fit.

And lets face it...yes many will look similar, but it doesnt take very much for it to be wrong. And not fitting is not fitting

It's an old car, so stock might be difficult. What motor factors have you tried ? Give the guys at Motorcraft a shout down below Abbeycentre
