just about to buy an exhust system for my xr3i 88'

will it bolt straight to my standard manifold???? i cant afford the ashley manifold just yet

i need to know before i order it

cheers steve

 

Mine didn't for my sierra. I just cut the flange of the old exhaust and welded it to the ashley system.

 

and it welded fine yeah?

i dont wanna weld it if later ill be buying a manifold

 

my nova one didnt fit to great anywhere, but apparently that aint the norm. i was just unlucky.

it didnt come with the flange to bolt to the manifold and looked like it would have fitted, but i had to cut mine to fit a 2ltr down pipe anyway.

 

On me cortina the system was made for the Ashley 4 branch so i had to buy one rather than weld ect, wouldn't even fit a janspeed 4 branch
by the way crap fitting IS the norm with ashley

 

i had the Ashley system on my 89 orion ghia which fitted up fine as the connection to the downpipe/manifold is a fairly simple one. These systems are the same except the orion is slightly longer but the connection to the manifold is the same

It might be an idea to have some gumgum to hand just incase but mine never caused any problems and i would recommend them to anyone on a budget

update: Infact if my memory serves me correctly they are the same system with an extra length of pipe which can be cut to length to suit an escort or an orion. Im sure that was the case when i fitted mine a few years back
