    Pinto to xflow cross over pipe

    Hi all,

    i have been told you can buy a cross over exhaust pipe to go from a pinto engine in a mk2 to a xflow back box, I have a new backbox and don't want to have to buy another one. I have googled it and emailed burtons (they didn't reply unfortunitely). Can anyone help?

    Thanks

    Re: Pinto to xflow cross over pipe

    many years ago i worked somewhere that used to supply escort performance exhausts, the rear sections were the same for x/flow and pinto, but the pinto ones needed an extra S shaped section which crossed over the car to connect the manifold to the system. but i highly doubt anyone will sell such a thing now

    yes, just fitted mine, it crosses over just before g/box x member - and as graham says , im not sure if they are available separately now for aftermarket jobs, but - easy to make as ebay sellers will sell you a swaged out pipe to length and possibly even make it all to your size. measure from forward end of system how far forward it needs to come to meed 4 branch and how far across when its sitting nice ( which they dont most times lol)

    Thanks for the replies, the person who has suggested it owns a rally prep company for escorts and he made it sound like they were easy to get hold of... I didn't ask him where to get one from as I just assumed I could 'google' it ha ha.

    Aladdin, would your mind taking a photo of where if routes underneath, so if I get one made I know what the best route would be. Also do you know what make it is? This may help find one.

    Thanks

    the exhaust is a long life SS (who may well make you one ?) but i used an old 4 branch (and its an rs system on home made mounts ) so needed to adjust it to fit nice. i will get some pics for ref - i also have another old rusty one i can ref.

    Try Rally and Competition Equip at Biddulph, they should be able to supply you with cross over pipe, whether it'll mate up to your manifold and rear box is another matter. Don't forget to say what bore your pipes are.

    Looking on eBay at mk2 exhausts, some sets look like they have a cross over pipe, as you say though - whether it will mate up to my manifold and back box is another matter....
