An exhaust being straight comes very far down the list compared to getting the right length and diameters/collector volumes in there.
In fact, there's only one place where it's pretty vital to have a 'straight' section

i didnt mention length mate Wink but the straighter the pipe the better the flow/less restrictions on a 4 stroke anyway

the only reason to bend a pipe is for obstructions and for meeting other exhaust components, however bends can be used to "tune" exhaust flow and therefore the noise.

Bends like on a 6 manifold are surely there to create length though otherwise it seems like Peugeot went to a lot of hassle for no point by what you are saying...

Noise and economy are a factor as well ?

Economy yes as that will go hand in hand with efficiency but I cant see them going to that much hassle to design a unique manifold for the 6 engine to change the noise.

^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^ nail on head

plus space, and cost, if you rip one apart and look at it interally there not that bad but they arent great either, dont get me wrong its better than a cast log manifold much like the 205 gti engines but i would expext the standard gti6 manifold to be working very hars for a high boost conversion, its obviously works but it always could be better and i think the 4-2-1 manifold has to be better than stock.

the engine is basically a pump, if you make it harder for it to work it has to have less power maybe not on a standard motor but defo a modified one (i dont mean a k&n and a decat).Dunno

Or what about a new 4-2-1 that is designed for supercharged high boost?
Made by one of the proper exhaust builders that make them for all the f1, btcc and other racing cars eg (ie not power flow or longlife that just build an exhaust to fit with no science actually going into it)

Just to be clear I totally agree with the above, I was referring more to the bends vs straight discussion. To me it seems obvious that if Stan had a manifold specifically designed for his car not a standard 6 it would be better.

I wasn't sure if the science would be different for a s/c car and if it would be better getting one designed from scratch

that's what I meant, all those manifolds and exhausts I posted are from a lad who makes them for race and rally cars since he was in school.

any of those off the shelf things wont be of much benefit to your engine.

principles are the same, back pressures, scavenging, heat,noise, economy etc

but the end result will be very different as its boost, hence a lot more air going through for a given rpm, all the pulses will be pretty different to a naturally aspirated engine.

or spend a grand on a dp manifold and stick a little turbo on there aswell as the rotrex!

This is what I'm thinking, the science in it.
For £900 I'm sure you could get one built actually designed scientifically for the build I'm running.

in what sense, back pressure is still very key, as is primary length and aslo equal lengths and pairing the cylinders at the 4-2 bit

I would have thought 900 would get you a lot, a akrapovic titanium exhaust would be about 2k so you would hope so
