Cyrix 0 Posted April 22, 2016 To be honest you used to be able to buy the complete system new for about £100. Seen the 2 into 1 centre section on ebay at about £35 new recently Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
mk4savage 43 Posted April 22, 2016 I have seen one on there from Germany but someone said they don't fit too well. Not sure if it's the same one you've seen ? Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

martog 128 Posted April 22, 2016 I have a 2.3 centre section off a mk5. Still looks ok on the outside (ie still silver on the outside), though could'nt tell you what the baffles are like inside as it's been stood more than 10 years but in dry under cover storage. Might have a down pipe too and a manifold though the manifold will be a mk2 Granada one. You've had a manifold off me in the past has it cracked again??

Wasn't me, My original manifold cracked about 16 years ago, My Pass side manifold is a Granada one and is different to the Cortina one. Nothing wrong with mine but I wanted the correct one to fit an Exhaust but the exhaust I thought I might be getting has gone out of the window for the moment, Hence the reason I'm after a standard system to fit. I could be interested in that centre section. The company who makes the stainless ones have told me they can't make one as they don't have the pattern for it but could "copy" one. I think Mk5's are the same ? Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

And was new at the time. :thumbup: Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

I may be lucky with a back box, I Phoned EuroCarparts today and they reckon they can get one, A Klarius one which I believe used to be Timax. I'll believe it when I see it though :lol: Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

martog 128 Posted April 23, 2016 This is what i have. Pair of downpipes. Centre section. Another veiw.. Little dented on the bottom but should be nowt to worry about. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
mk4savage 43 Posted April 23, 2016 (edited) Cheers for them photos mate. Did you say that centre section was from a MK5 ? I think mk4 and 5 V6 are the same but not 100% sure. It's been a long time since I saw a standard system. Are they the cortina downpipes too ? Looks like a Bosal one ? Thanks mate.

CortinaLover1971 29 Posted April 23, 2016 Are 2.3 v6 exhausts very hard to get then? Shall I enquire with my Turkish contact, I can ask if there's stock on new items and get prices. I know for certain there's prop shafts brand new lying around.....you never know! Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
martog 128 Posted April 23, 2016 Yes, Bosal centre section. Down pipes from the same car though no idea why they are rusty as they have been stored together. :headscratch: Surface rust though and will Soda blast clean. Taken from a mk5 that i stripped many moons back. :tears: Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

I know for certain there's prop shafts brand new lying around.....you never know! Yes, they seem to be hard to get. There are some centre sections on ebay but they don't look like the one pictured here. I phoned a few places with not much luck but I might be getting a back box fingers crossed from Eurocarparts.
