RE: [alfa] spider two-piece exhaust manifold instead on one-piece

["Jeff Greenfield" <alfaguy@xxxxxxxxxxxx>]

Actually, you want the 72-74 2 piece manifold and downpipe. 75/76/77 used a
different manifold, and 78 (or so, could have been 77 or 79) onwards used
yet another one which is more or less the same as what was used on the L-jet
cars.

This all applies to US cars only of course.

There were never any of the early downpipes/front sections that had a cat
that I am aware of, so this would be a custom job, unless you use the parts
from a S4 spider.

Or, I could be completely wrong about all this :-)

Try APE.  I bought a '74 manifold a little while back to eventually make
this mod and talked to the guys at APE who said they sell the 71-77
downpipe for this quite often, they just didn't have one cut and ready
to go when I happened to be there.
