Any Word On Approx Fgii Release Date?

[Venom XR6]

Here's a curve ball for all the insiders.

Is it possible to have the cat converter built directly within the exhaust manifold?

Or individual converters for each exhaust pipe straight off the head?

Food for thought?

Some Euro cars have it within 10-20 cms of the head. I'd say Ford could fit the cat at the first join where the exhaust manifold bolts up to the exhaust pipe. Would save a lot of money by not needing to redesign the manifold which is still basically the same casting as what it was on the EA, just with a different shaped flange where it meets the oval ports on the DOHC heads.

Individual convertors would take up too much space and would cost too much.

its not just euro cars, my pulsar is a 2000 model and the stock exhaust manifold had a small cat built into it. So essentially you had two cats, the main one under the car and the exhaust manifold one.
