Driver's Side
Driver's Side (ports)
Features of Note:
- Doughnut style flange at the collector with the welded in studs
- Heat shields in place on the manifold and around the spark plug openings
- Rased bolt sleeves along the top row
- Fairly decent flowing design, but not equal length tubing
- Fairly beefy material around the ports
- You can clearly see the back cylinder tube is just welded where it is convenient (no concern for equal length) ... this is where the infamous crack usually occurs
- Middle port is just a short tube welded to the "log"

- This shot clearly shows the "log" style design of the manifold
- Each port is just connected with a short tube to the "log" where convenient
- Notice the "bellow" style bends for heat expansion
- Heat shields are in place for the spark plugs and front of the log
- Doughnut style flanges again for the crossover tube
- Notice the support brace that goes from the #2 cylinder flange to the turbo flange
- Again, quite a bit of material around the ports
- You can see the provision for the O2 sensor (up by the turbo flange...left of picture)
- Heat shields show up well
