V6 Exhaust Manifolds

[SPD_FRK]

I am in need of some pictures of the Galant V6 cast exhaust manifolds. If any of you have these manifolds laying around, or on the car can you please snap a picture and post up. I need to see the manifold, so if it is on the car you will need to remove the heat shield on the front and rear (mainly focused on the rear manifold right now).

Any help is appreciated.

I don't know if these help much, but I'm not home at the moment, so these are the best I can do.

Do you have any pics of the rear bank by chance man?

[SPD_FRK]

Nvm, got it sorted out. The cast manifolds are the same as the 3rd Gen Eclipse...this is going to prove interesting

I thought you weren't gonna go with the cast manifolds?

I was going to, that is why I needed a picture of the cast manifolds, mainly to see how the rear manifold is routed, if any different from the Eclipse.

Still up in the air on the cast ones or going full tubular

well, I do have my Cali spec manifolds at home :) and I'll be home in a week hehe

Its alright man, the Cali Spec manifold won't work out. They are identical to the Eclipse manifolds which puts the exhaust outlet towards the passenger side. Modifying the cast manifold such as cutting the outlet and turning it 180* would require somebody to weld on cast materials through the correct process or it will just crack under the heat.

I am just going to run the tubular design at this point.

ah yes good choice. It would be pretty ridiculous having a 180 degree bend, or cutting it and welding it back
