I found a sidewinder manifold locally. Not sure if its worth my time. Is the mounting flange for head suppose to be cut?

owner said "Sidewinder T4 manifold,44mm wastegate flange bought it from another S2K owner,not positive what brand but was told "I'll leave the shop that made this manifold anonymous, reputable shop though DEFINITELY not a show piece, but it works." but you may find it very similar to some of the newer gens of the Lovefab manifolds."

Thanks for your time and thoughts

The fact the the flange is cut isn't a big deal. I would be curious why he/she won't divulge the shops name though.

 

$100?

 

thats most def not a 44mm vband flange, I would pass

 

passing thanks all

 

It looks like the older TiAL 44mm flange (which used 4 bolts instead of a vband)

 

that is not flanged for a tial 44mm wategate. a 44mm wategate is vband. That manifold is flanged for a 4 bolt wastegate most likely for a tial 46mm

 

*Edit* riceball777 is correct

 

I used to own this manifold lol.. I got it from another S2ki member. and that quote mentioned above was said by me (not the vband part lol), I didn't disclose it because it wasn't a production piece and doesn't have the nicest looking welds (I mean visually appealing, not nicest looking as in quality). I didn't want to misrepresent the shop I was told the manifold was made by.
