    Question Which exhaust manifold ?

    Got to do the exhaust manifold gasket on my 855 T5-R gasket soon, so I was wondering which exhaust manifold would be the best to fit?, while I'm about it and what benefits will it give me??

    I would go forr the japanifold off the me7 port it to gasket size and knife edge the fins (turbo side)
    It will flow better.

    I would prefer the Jap manifold. It's a better design. Want to know more ?
    Clue : Try matching the engine's firing sequence.

    so the lower flow rate & harsher bends aren't a disadvantage compared to the S60R manifold then?

    Has anybody every put these on a flow bench and seen what they can do ?, is there a volvo dave vizard out there with all the data in one book ?? I can see what glock19 means about port sharing and this is why I asked the question, both manifolds look to have advantages over each other has far as I can see, but it still is which is best ??

    On each individual exhaust outlet, the gases are coming out in pulses, not a continuous flow of air (unlike the intake manifold). Give me some time and I'll calculate the amount of exhaust displacement when engine speed is 6000 rpm from a single port. But I hope we don't need to get to that
    So even with slightly bigger and smoother angles, the R manifold might not be superior to the Jap unit. For the ME7 models, lets not forget that the exhaust CVVT is also designed to reduce gas emission and I won't be surprised if the newer manifold was meant to be greener.
    Ok I'll let a big cat out of the bag since I'm no longer interested in the R-Manifold. It's the same unit with the XC90-2.5T so maybe you can get it cheaper from the wreckers. I knew about this 3 years ago.
