Kyosho gxr28 exhaust manifold options?

[pitbull14218]

So I scooped up a Kyosho gxr28 nitro engine for a back up swap big block.

The exhaust manifold it came with is a left hand side(driver-side in US) - looking from back of engine

I would prefer it to be on the right side.

The exhaust flange is a flange bolted to the engine, so it doesn’t use a spring to hold it to the engine. If I rotate it 180 degrees the exhaust is very high, I could maybe make it work.

Just figured I would see if anyone knows of any aftermarket exhaust manifolds for it to exit to the right. Or maybe if there’s another brands exhaust that goes to the right.

Thx

The HPI Savage exhaust is a spring mounted one that goes to the right. There are a couple versions of it, one that is just a soft bend for the XL/X with 4 shocks or the one with the sharp bend for the 8 shock shorter versions.

Can you post a photo of the engine and header you have?

Here are some pics. The exhaust is on the left side, if I rotated it to get it on the right it would be pretty high.

Can you remove the header to show the exhaust port? Reminds me of the OS21RG exhaust port... I think. You had to use a special header adapter to use it with anything normal... now I want to dig through my drawer of old engines to see if I still have them. Or if my memory is playing tricks on me.

Just googled... found exhaust headers I remember:

The adapter (or one like I had):

Dug through my box of old engines/engine parts, found 2 of them. I'd be willing to let one go if you want, if your in the US. I had to grind them down a bit because they ran into the big pull starter housing on the OS21RG's. These are the "before" I spent 30 seconds cleaning it off.

Hope that adapter works out for you.

Hope that adapter works out for you.

Thanks man! I got it, just need to try it out! I will update the thread with the results!

Thanks again!
