Hey Matt,

When u say dual port you're meaing two ports from the engine (EA81 EA82) yeah?

Or do you mean dual port as in two ports from each head, such as an EJ.

The other question i have is: What are you trying to achieve with your exhaust?

- grunty note
- just a new exhaust that is going to be pleasant to drive with (quiet)
- better performance

Give us some more information and we may beable to help.

Cheers

Hey
Matts me bro and yeah he means a dual port EA81 running 32/36 weber, lumpy cam, some ridiculous timing, unifilter, snorkle.... He will be able to fill u in with a couple more details. Think he is mainly after bit better performance and a grunty note wouldnt go astray. it already has 2inch from Y-piece back and a sorts muffler.

My little brothers right, i am after performance not noise, however i nice note would be good to! I have 2" from the headers back however i need to replace it as is bent and leaking again, so i thought i would ask the question?

I would even use a 75mm - 50mm reducer right at the manifold, the oval shape of the ports need quite a diametre to get around them.

2 inch is ample for the rest, try to replicate the Y shape...uneven runners (ala factory) seem to give more torque.
Even runners allow faster rev up and flow, I ran even ones.

Let it run I say, big numbers have been made with big revs.
The aviation potential of '81s is astounding, but they must breathe.
Have fun....Matt
