Rover Exhaust Manifold - SV vs. S3 ?

[revilla]

Can anyone give me a definitive answer as to whether the standard exhaust manifold (single side exit) for a K Series is the same on an SV and an S3? Caterham only seem to list this, part number CSP361, described as "Exhaust Manifold to Side Exit Collector - Rover" with no hint as to whether it is S3, SV or both. I would have expected them to be different given the extra width of an SV.

Well, I can't be definitive (best ask Darren or Tony?) but I think the extra width is in the cat/silencer pipe rather than the manifold/collector. It's (just about) possible to see the difference if you compare the SV set-up with the S3 set-up.

As if says, and I too believe the collector to be the same, with the difference taken up by the cat / silencer inlet pipe.

Thanks gents, I can see what you mean in the pictures.
