3SGE Exhaust Manifold/Downpipe on a 3SFE?

Not sure if it's swappable, is the pipe diameter the same from the 3SGE to 3SFE?
If it is, and the connection points where they bolt on are the same, I wouldn't see why not.

Seems like a lot of fuss unless there is something to be gained though.

 

iirc. you can use a steel 5sfe gasket on the 3sg head. i think that means the flange may be the same. im not sure youd see a noticable difference if its not ported perfectly due to size differences.

 

from what i remember the 3sge manifold is an upgrade for the 3sfe

 

Nobody read my threads anymore?


Did it 2yrs ago on Snowy - with the no cat GE exhaust it makes a huge difference,
try to get the one with 2 downpipes. It's the best of the 3 GE gen1 variants

FE pipe is a lot narrower too, so I suggest swapping the whole thing
IMO the FE exhaust makes a lousy boat anchor even.....
Compared to the gen2


The better gen1 version - beware of cracks between the two middle cylinders


Gen1-3 pipes will fit, BEAMS won't

 

i used the ats ones. i had them send me two of the oval pieces, then sloted the bolt holes with a dremell on the one for the exhaust.

 

ats racing.

 

I have a 3sfe and found a 3sge in a salvage yard (either a '88 or '89), and I was thinking about using the header, my exhaust has been welded togeather at the front pipe to the middle cat to the resonator pipe... do the ge exhaust manifold have the same sensors as the fe manifold? thanks.

 

That depends where you are?

Use the one that comes with the exhaust, the GE swap is a good cheap upgrade
but beware of cracks in the GE headers (usually at the top between the two middle cyls)
