tegiwa manifold fits on j's racing 70rr???

[kokos191]

was wondering if the tegiwa / toda manifold will fit on the j's racing 70rr exhaust system?

 

[paul 16v]

It should do.. my tegiwa fitted straight on to my aftermarket system.

Uuh i thought the 70rr has its own manifold included from j,s, just the 2-1 section. The 4-2 can fit different ones, somebody confirm this please.

 

[kazmo]

a match made in heaven..

tegiwa and J's racing

lol

:xgrin:

You need a 4-2 for the J's 70RR. Preferable the J's 4-2 .

 

[kokos191]

well yes it comes with the 2-1 section. But i might go for the tegiwa 4-2-1 instead, thats why am asking

 

[Todd_77]

Js 70rr System is a 2-1, mid pipe, rear pipe.

You just need a 4-2, most people use Spoon and they end up cracking.

Have a look at my build thread. I have a Titanium 70rr System fitted.

It's an open pipe connection without a flange (see picture)

 

[kokos191]

yeah i saw that, so a flange would make the job if am right

 

[Honda-atr]

Yes, but to make a flange out of titanium and weld it on the titanium piping shall be a bit pricey
Why use the Tegiwa header? Better combo with the J's 4-2 (larger diameter piping then the Tegiwa)

 

[kokos191]

its the SS one not the titanium hehe
Would use the tegiwa header cause its kind of cheaper i think?

 

[Mark_teg]

Basically, it's a no. The J's system replaces (the most restrictive) half of the manifold anyway!

 

[Honda-atr]

Hahaha, I was thinking in Titanium .

Then it's no problem that you can modify the 70RR and weld a flange on the exhaust. Only I don't think you get the full profits of the exhaust.
The bore of the Tegiwa shall be around 60mm at the end of the header and the J's is already on 70mm at that point.

 

[kokos191]

yep you are right, let me think of it

it would be possible to weld on a flange BUT the exhaust isnt designed to fit like that and could crack elsewhere, the slip and spring joint it has allows some flex,

Personally i would use the J's FX pro 4-2 section or the spoon, but the OEM will also fit and work just fine on stock engines, its the cat removal that makes the difference. be prepared to get a CEL when its gone though

Several years ago there were a few failed Spoon exhausts , i saw 3 myself and all had failed because they had not been fitted with the oem spring bolts, instead normal nuts and bolts had been used, thus removed the flex from the system and caused the manifolds to crack.

in the last 5 or so years i havent heard of any cracking although people still say "spoon manifolds crack"

My heart skipped a beat when I read this as I purchased a spoon 4-2 header only a couple of weeks back and my next step is to get the 70. Real useful info about the spring bolts I'll have to keep that in mind!

you need to use them, so there is a flexible joint on both pairs of pipes, if one is solid its more likely to crack.
