I fail to see the reason why this exhaust manifold would increase the horsepower. I wonder who cast it?

Its interesting.. but I don't think it would help. Exhaust restriction doesn't seem to be a problem in these cars, and being able to bolt on a bigger turbo wouldn't help either (our turbos can already create far more boost than the engine can use).
Interesting piece, though. peace, sam

The only thing I think it would help is the seller's bank account. It is different, though.
FleaBay strikes again.....!

Yeah, saw that...even bid on it. Wanted it to build a jig to experiment in making a header. Want to use 1/2 in thick flanges and the jig to bend the pipes up. Probably just tack weld it and get a good welder to finish the job. Then off to jet coat in Oklahoma City for their heat coating. Might even add heat wrap and finally build some stainless steel shields to keep heat from any surrounding items. The stock cast iron exhaust will probably flow enough, but a header will transmit the exhaust pulses better, and allow the turbo to experience a better "throbbing" exhaust wave that would probably spool up the turbo quicker. This would help the low end grunt on acceleration. So, anybody got a stock exhaust manifold to contribute to this experimental project?
Oh, yeah, if this does work, would not be legal unless I figure out how and do add the exhaust gas piping (EGR)....to pass visual safety/smog checking. Regards Run-em 1983 300 S D -aka- SPARKY THE DIESEL

You don't get more power without more fuel....however with this you could get more boost with less charge heating but you would have to do other mods to capitalize on that...
I think a T3/T4 hybrid would be a better choice than a T-4...the T-4 would spool slower...

It looks exactly like the stock manifold off a W116 300SD. All it's got extra is a T4 flange and an external wastegate mount. Over priced at $53 after shipping. Go get a W116 manifold for $10 and get a newer GT or VNT turbo.

Build a T3/T4 hybrid with ceramic ball bearing center cartridge for faster spooling..and more boost with less charge heating....do some magic to get more fuel out of the IP and go to town....
