[66mk1]

Hi all, I currently have a '66 MK1 with a later 1275 A* engine and looking for some advice on exhausts etc.

 

I am settled on a maniflow twin-box centre exit 1.75", however I am curious as to which manifold would be best with this (I'm thinking something maniflow).

 

I am very new to all this so are there any other parts I need to buy to complete the new exhaust setup?

 

Any help is massively appreciated,

 

Thanks!

What type of inboard CV couplings are fitted?

Hi, I'm not too sure... how can I find this out? Still getting to grips with the technical side of things (first car) - hope this can be of some help

They will be either the earlier X type or the later “pot” joint. As the later manifold will catch on the X type.

 

the difference will be covered in your Haynes manuals, you might need more than one to cover the earlier and the later parts you have.

An LCB manifold with rubber coupling diff/drive shaft set up usually needs a bit of a flat area on the down pipe where it passes to drive flange and a steady brace between the downpipe and diff cover to prevent contact.

Janspeed used to offer an LCB specific to rubber coupling cars but Maniflow don't.

What is this then?
