72mk1escort Posted May 22, 2008 Report Posted May 22, 2008 If i fitted in my standard 1300 crossflow (65BHP) with the standard single barrel carb and standard 3 branch manifold would it be far different to having it fitted in with a 32DGV (1300GT) twin choke weber and 4 branch manifold with a 2" single box system? Just wanted to ask really as with the price of petrol if the weber aint gonna make much difference to the performance i wont bother fitting it and the same with the exhaust really
Guest cortinamad-gonetoo Posted May 22, 2008 Report Posted May 22, 2008 theyre the first and cheapest mods every time twin choke k&n and 4 branch manifold
72mk1escort Posted May 22, 2008 Author Report Posted May 22, 2008 But the biggest question is do they make it any faster or is it just because it sounds faster? Also can you get a 4 branch manifold that will mate up to a standard mk1 escort exhaust?
Guest cortinamad-gonetoo Posted May 22, 2008 Report Posted May 22, 2008 you can get a ghia manifold and down pipe that will match up to the rest of the exhaust you will gain a little more power not loads though
72mk1escort Posted May 22, 2008 Author Report Posted May 22, 2008 Ahh maybe i will get myself one of these ghia manilfolds then but would a 1300 mk1 escort sport one fit? I really need to get rid of my 2" single box ashley system its to noisey And my Dad wont even go in my car anymore he says he gets a headache
antz Posted May 22, 2008 Report Posted May 22, 2008 your dads a wimp get a twin box ashley system and manifold. its prob as cheap as getting a second hand maifold and system. and yes the carb does make a difference.

I really need to get rid of my 2" single box ashley system its to noisey And my Dad wont even go in my car anymore he says he gets a headache will fit yes but if youre putting it on to your existing exhaust and want a easy fit the ghia manifold has a clamp just after the 4-2-1 part which clamps onto =a single down pipe which then the rest of the systems the same the sport ones probally the same as this but im not 100% sure alot of people just make their own down pipe to fit the four branch to the system or they buy the full system ie ashley for example
72mk1escort Posted May 22, 2008 Author Report Posted May 22, 2008 Thanks Alot for all of the info guys
