The exhaust primary pipe is the pipe that comes out of the head
Do you want internal or external diameter ? "I'm told a good one produces about 110Bhp" - about right, depends who you talk to! FF1600 and FFDuratec are all 4-1 systems FFZetec (FF1800) uses the standard road car cast iron manifold |

Internal dims I have - 1 and 3/8ths inches.
External dims I have - 1 and 1/2 inches. If my maths is correct this means thhat the pipes are made from 1/16th metal........I'll have to go and have a lie down now....phew. Hope this helps :-) |
