Mantaboy83 Posted June 17, 2009 Share Posted June 17, 2009 I've inherited a rather annoying problem with my Manta. I've put up with it for a few years but it's getting beyond a joke now. Being an XE conversion the exhaust & manifold are custom made. The problem with it is where it sits under the car. Its routed directly under the n/s gearbox mount bolt, and touches the cross-beams under the floor front and back. Not only does this transmit vibration into the cabin, but it's effectively lowered the car by a further 2.5". This consequently makes going over speed bumps - even piddly little ones - very difficult and has battered the exhaust, no matter how slow I go. Can anyone email me pics of their XE conversion's exhaust so I can see how you've routed them? And also, if poss, a pic of how the original 1.8 Manta exhaust was routed? Thanks, Tom Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I'd still like to see pics of other people's XE exhausts though. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
