Was having a browse about on eBay last night and found two ideal pictures of the differences between the 1.6 16v downpipe and the 1.8 16v downpipe.

1.6 16v:




1.8 16v




Ok, so it's pretty obvious what the differences are, but is there any difference in performance gains/losses between the two? Obviously the 1.8 16v still uses a 4 to 1 manifold and looking at the downpipe, it looks as though it starts as a single...

What do people think?

1.8 one is better as it's 4-2-1. flows better than the 4-1 1.6 one.

I imagined the 1.8 was better, but from looking at the pic, it doesn't look as though it's a true 4-2-1, which was my reason for wondering...

And unless I'm wrong, the manifolds on all MK3 Zetecs go directly 4-1?

What you cant see in the pic is that there are 4 holes at the top but you can clearly see that the 1.8 one has 2 individual sections coming down into one where as the 1.6 doesn't

Oh righty, I'm getting you

Didn't mean to doubt you, just hard to imagine from the pics alone

But I still assume that all the manifolds are the same/pretty much the same?

[RS_Raz]

Yeah there's not really much in it, unless you can prove it on the rollers one way or the other some people will say 4-2-1 is better and some will say 4-1 is better. Your choice.

My 1.6 one looks like the 1.8 one

Cheers Mr. Raz... Just need to find one (either) now

my magnex is similar to the 1.6 one, but without the moggy, and a bigger bore

Magnex do a downpipe?

Magnex do a downpipe?

it's part of their de-cat, extends upto the flange on the manifold
