Neiler Posted March 7, 2005 Report Share Posted March 7, 2005 Just a quick question folks, is the Polo GTi exhaust manifold identical to the lupo one?Obviously its the same block, but chassis and firewall constraints/shapes may have made modification to it necessary??Of course the reason being there are some aftermarket manifolds for the polo but not the lupo style="vertical-align:middle" emoid=":evil:" border="0" alt="evil.gif" /> .Also on a similar note, does anyone know what Shrick's URL is?

Blackrat Posted March 7, 2005 Report Share Posted March 7, 2005 are you talking inlet or outlet (exhaust) manifold ?im 99% sure the inlet manifolds are the same, but not sure on the exhaust side Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Blackrat Posted March 7, 2005 Report Share Posted March 7, 2005 hmmmm, well thinking about it it shouldnt be a problem as the exhaust is in the front of the engine and by the time it has gone `4-2`-1 or whatever system you going for .. if it is catching anywhere it would be piss easy to modify it , i thinkwhy didnt Ross think of that before we started making him a new manifold ? its a pain in the ass style="vertical-align:middle" emoid=";)" border="0" alt="wink.gif" />anyone know someone who has a polo Gti ?

Neiler Posted March 8, 2005 Author Report Share Posted March 8, 2005 Supersprint does the aftermarket jobbies for the Polo Gti and now it seems they should be for the Lupo too! style="vertical-align:middle" emoid=":D" border="0" alt="biggrin.gif" /> Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Kev_Ush Posted March 8, 2005 Report Share Posted March 8, 2005 will a gti manifold fit a sport?Yeah should do, but I think its got the same manifold as the gti anyway....anyone confirm this? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Blackrat Posted March 8, 2005 Report Share Posted March 8, 2005 nope its different , the sport manifold has the cat in the manifold, whereas the gti manifold doesntbut the Gti manifold will fit onto the sport head, but i dont know if the rest of the sport exhaust will bolt straight onto the Gti manifold Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I had a quick look on the internet but couldn't find anything.Never mind, I found it.http://www.supersprint.com/a_prodotti.asp?...modello=vwpol11Shame its a `4-1` and not a `4-2`-1, still would give a power gain over the standard pee shooter pipes.It costs £336.38 +£17.63 p&p from this lot http://www.motorsportworld.co.uk/`fram...hausts`.htm Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Neiler Posted March 8, 2005 Author Report Share Posted March 8, 2005 LOL you beat me to it Kev.`4-2`-1s are a bit more difficult to make. Thats why you find alot of `4-1s`. `4-2`-1 had a better low down pick up, but the theory seems to stage the `4-1` having a little more grunt higher up in the revs. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Blackrat Posted March 8, 2005 Report Share Posted March 8, 2005 that looks identical, im sure it would fit Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
M1 Lupo Posted March 27, 2005 Report Share Posted March 27, 2005 Would it actually clear the oil cooler's sandwich plate on the engine? Does the Polo GTi have an oil cooler? Is it the same? border="0" class="linked-image" /> border="0" class="linked-image" /> border="0" class="linked-image" /> border="0" class="linked-image" />Doesn't the manifold need some flexi pipe?

Neiler Posted March 27, 2005 Author Report Share Posted March 27, 2005 Thanks M1.Thats exactly what im equiring about, there could well be differences. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
M1 Lupo Posted March 27, 2005 Report Share Posted March 27, 2005 No problems mate. If that manifold fits the Lupo I'd seriously consider it! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

bossjohnc Posted March 27, 2005 Report Share Posted March 27, 2005 I think you might be right in saying it won't clear the oil cooler - they do appear to be different shapes. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

paulbin Posted March 28, 2005 Report Share Posted March 28, 2005 if any 1 want to know if the gti manifold will fit the sport it will, i had a look today and i cant believe the mess the sport manifold is, there hardly any room for the bends on pipes as they do down to the `pre-cat`, so putting a gti manifold on should alow it to breath a little better Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
