Zetec manifold diameters
I've found someone who is willing to make me a stainless steel exhaust manifold for my Indy Zetec, to my design. But now I'm looking for
the tube diameters I should be aiming for. The manifold will be a 4-2-1 design.
Any suggestions? Or site where I could find out what to use?!
Any help is appreciated.

Headers
Marcel,
have a look here:
www.headerdesign.com
Or, as a starting point, have a look at the flange (you've already got one, don't you?) what the diameters are on a stock manifold.
Increase the cross-section by 20% and you won't be that far off. For the two and one (just before the can) section, i'd make sure the
total cross section of the pipes stays the same, to avoid sudden changes in exhaust gas velocity. (so the single pipe would be twice the diameter as
the primaries, end the secondairies would be 1.41 times the diameter of the primaries.
Or you could do with whatever sizes you can get your hands on.... If you've got trouble locating tubing, maybe you could try bos exhaust systems
in steenbergen (NL). Do a quick google to find them.
Cheers,
Sebastiaan

Looks sexy! But I'm afraid you'd need my car to make a manifold (because there are so many parts obstructing the available space: engine
mount, steering shaft, chassis tubes).
Since I'm in Holland, that's a bit of an issue....

Crikey, that duratec must be revving some, they are seriously short primaries for a 4-1 manifold!

manifold
The spec was 26" and that's what they are. Tyr a different angle see below

different angle ( they did change it to 30" After I'd done all this work!
