The TT1200 is a 6-2-1 configuration. What exhaust system was that coupled to ?

Sorry, I should have said 6:2. When I got the car there was no Y piece nor cross-pipe, and they went onto two straight-through wheelbarrow silencers. A truly nasty sounding setup. The addition of a balance pipe fixed the sound but I honestly couldn’t say it made a difference to the performance.

Aha - good to know - thanks.

In the interests of broadening the discussion here’s another 6-3-1 manifold to throw into the mix - anyone got one?

Listed on the Moss site and apparently made by Phoenix - looks to have slightly longer primaries than their other 6-3-1 offering.

It also seems to have nicely mitred joints.

Just realised Tom already flagged this… apologies Tom.

I've been running a Phoenix 6-3-1 manifold on my TR6 for over 15 years. Subjectively it gives improved mid range performance and a pleasant exhaust note. It fitted fine and has proved to be robust over the years.

Great to hear Nigel

[DRD]

I've got that as well, again it gives great torque.

Did this one get a mention it’s a Falcon unused and never fitted so I can’t comment on performance,BTW I'm running a Phoenix since the early 2000s and it was fit and forget without any problems.

I've got a Bastuck 6-3-1 fitted. Gave me no issues fitting, no clearance issues and not clouted a speed bump so far.

That looks exactly the same as the Phoenix system on my 6, referred to a few posts back.

Except for the manifold plate and a thicker gauge.

[Steve Morris]

Unclepete, could you elaborate on the thicker gauge please?

Same pipework configuration as a Phoenix. Thicker gauge stainless steel.

Good luck to anyone trying to fit that judging by the alignment of the mounting flanges.

It comes as 2 parts and I’ve never really inspected it it came with one of those Bundles you pick up along the way

Thanks Pete, I bought a sports system for my Spit’ from Rainer Bastuck back in the 90’s and it was top quality.  Nice guy to deal with.  Does he have a uk supplier anyone?

I have test fitted a couple of exhaust systems and manifolds for their UK maker in the distant past on 4 cyl TR2/3.   I have never fitted any of the 6 cyl items.

Manifold developments….

Having mulled this all over for a while with much kind input from fellow forumites I’ve gone for a Phoenix big bore cross box system and a 6-3-1 manifold.  I found the stainless 6-3-1 on the SC Spares site at an excellent price - £362.  Quite a saving on the other options.  
However, although the SC manifold was advertised as having a 57mm outlet, it actually measures very slightly under 54mm OD, 51mm ID, so it is clearly designed for 2” system and not the 2 1/4” big bore.

As it was shipped from their parent company, Limora in Germany and has the same dimensions as the Bastuck system, I am wondering if they are made by the same manufacturer.

It’s a bit disappointing as it seems to be a very well made piece of kit.  I’ve alerted SC and they have agreed to take it back and amended their website accordingly.

The manifold outlet is just too small to fit properly into the Phoenix system and although it is tempting to try and sleeve it to fit I feel like it would be a leak waiting to happen. 
So, before I execute plan B, if anyone has a 6-3-1 manifold with 57mm outlet they’d like to sell, let’s talk.

Happy to post up pics of the SC unit for reference if it’s of interest to others and to round off the thread I might just compile a list of what’s currently available.

Pics of the SC manifold attached.

Flanges are around 9.7mm.

Chaps, the flanges on this manifold aren’t perfectly flat - both individual flanges are flat to themselves but laid on a flat surface there is 2-3mm of outward deflection (ie adjacent to cyl 3&4) Will 20ft/lbs of torque be enough to pull them up flush with the head? The flanges are just shy of 10mm thick. I asked SC to check their stock but apparently they are all like this to a degree.  I do have the option of returning  it if it won’t pull up so don’t have much to lose apart from a bit of time but if the consensus is that it’s too much I’ll move on I think.  
 

Happy new year all.

Should pull up Steve, however beware of stressing a weld!
