V8 Rover Exhaust Manifolds ?

[Dave750rs]

Looking for any suggestions for exhaust manifolds and downpipes to suit a 1979 cavalier with a Rover 3.5 V8 lump fitted it currently has pipes tacked into place that obscure spark plugs etc !! that run towards radiator for a route round front of engine.

If anyone knows of a supplier or the easiest type of manifolds/downpipes to modify to suit the cavalier layout or even photo's with current cars with V8 units showing exhaust routes

Cheers

Dave

Horrible horrible area.

I am doing this job at the moment and I wish I could just cut 8 holes in the bonnet and run open pipes straight out the top.

Laser cut flanges and a big pack of premade bends etc from Magnaflow is one way of doing it.

Its narrow, long and there is a starter and steering shaft in the way on the drivers side.

Best of luck !

Lovin the idea of 8 holes in the bonnet would make life easier
