Exhaust Manifold

[noone]

This is a continuation of a discussion in VWindahouse's (Anthony's) red devil build thread after he installed the manfold and some other parts (link here)

There are 2 main options for the Polo (I'm sure there may be more)

JBS

ATP

I'd be interested to see what the ATP unit can be had for as a part of the next group buy from ECS (stick'yd in the Mk4 section), I think the JBS unit would likely have been better engineered / designed, but it is also likely to be considerably more expensive...

[Plautos]

I think the ATP manifold is the best choice.

I don't know the JBS manifold, never had one in my hands, but I can't see any benefit that justifies the extra cost.

Have you considered a Kinetic Manifold?

Have you considered a Kinetic Manifold?

I had not.

here is a link to an article with dyno's on the kinetic unit.

THS manifold

Obviously this a discussion that could go the same as chips.....

For comparison look at the power increase of the JBS and Kinetic in the plots provided. I haven't looked for plots of the other manifolds. There were more mods done to the Kinetic car, the JBS one had Custom-Code phase 1 and nothing else.

The Kinetic looks better than the ATP that cracked on my A3. I can see from the photo that the casting is thicker where mine went.

Kinetic car looks like it has some thing wrong with it with those dips... other than that the manifold does SFA

It would be nice if we had one to test but who is going to buy one just for the sake of it??
