Is the Aspire exhaust manifold any better than the Festiva's as far as flow?

1986 Comp Prep SVO Mustang(1 of 83) Four cylinder turbo! (Think first Fox body "R" model!)
1995 F-150 Extra Cab and it was free!
1991 Festiva L, Surf Blue with A/C
1995 Jeep Cherokee 2wd 5 speed 4.0 and it was free!
1993 Aqua Festiva and it was cheap!
1994 Brake Swap and it was cheap!
1969 Ford F100 Big Block Ranger and it was free! (coming 2/12) -
technically yes. the tubular manifold. it doesn't help mpg tho supposedly -
you want to keep the festy manifold on, it retains more heat and the #1 and 4 cylinders don't face eachother as they do with the aspire manifold.Trees aren't kind to me...
currently: 2 88Ls (Scrappy and Jersey), 88LX, 90L(Pepe), 91L, 91GL (Skippy) 93 GL Sport (the Mighty Favakk), 94 (Bruce) & 95 Aspire SEs, 97 Aspire (The Joker),
94 Justy 4WD, 87 Fiero GT, plus 2 parts cars. That's my fleet.

How about the gen 1 323 manifold for the B6? Preferred over the Festy's or the Aspire's?Originally posted by FestYboy View Post90 Festy (Larry)--B6M (Matt D. modified B6 head), header, 5-speed, Capri XR2 front brakes, many other little mods

yes, that's cast and should work. but the festiva down pipe will dip too far and stress the exhaust. there's a 40 dollar b6 1st gen down pipe on ebay (new) that I almost bought for my b6 swap but I'll be going with a better flowing exhaust than stock so no need for it.
the b6 gen 1 flows better than the aspireComment

I thought the aspire exhaust manifold was more restrictive.youtube.com/neanderpaul 88 festiva LX w/BP G25 MR 5 speed waiting for wiring- 93 Festiva GL auto w/ air, waiting for B6t/G4A-HL - 98 Nissan Quest - 02 Mazda protege 5 wife's DDComment

His real problem might have been the 2.25" piping. Compare the exhaust on a 1200 or 1300cc motorcycle, which flows much better. It ain't no 2.25" I betcha.Originally posted by walth View PostLast edited by TominMO; 10-11-2011, 11:40 PM.90 Festy (Larry)--B6M (Matt D. modified B6 head), header, 5-speed, Capri XR2 front brakes, many other little mods

arty, does the 1st gen b6 down pipe bolt up to the stock festy cat back?Comment

not a direct fit, the dp will need to be altered. b6 has a longer down collector.Originally posted by walth View Post91 Festiva GL "Scrat"

oops, lemme say that differently. you may still be right...
b3 manifold and b3 downpipe obviously fits
would the b6 manifold and b6 downpipe be similar length?
I currently have aspire manifold (a touch longer) and b3 downpipe and it works but it doesn't like itComment

^ yes, at least up to where the cat connects (that mount point should be different).Trees aren't kind to me...

like a different angle for the studs to go through. I wish I'd of carried that DP they just had to cut halfway through. just to see. I don't wanna spend 40 bucks to find out it doesn't work. but then again I can get someone nearby to weld a plate to it or something as long as the height is right. it does seem like the 90' angle is much higher than the b3 DPComment
