[QUOTE="Tob, post: 14652717, member: 83412"] You and Wilson set the bar [I]very[/I] high and showed the entire community how it's done when you did your Coyote and Trinity in-depth articles at 5.0 magazine. This engine certainly merits at least as much attention. Here's a quick comparison of driver side exhaust manifolds. The GT350 5.2 up top, 2011-2014 Coyote in the middle, and the 2015 Coyote at bottom (Ford cheated by slicing the top of the attached converter to emulate the flange "look" and not attract too much attention). [ATTACH=full]623256[/ATTACH] Note that the 5.2 collector is actually a casting as opposed to a welded stamping on the Coyote engines. The 5.2 manifold on the cutaway engine also appears to be hand welded instead of being done by machine/robot on the Coyote manifolds. May just be because production has yet to fire up where it would then be (I assume) done robotically. Note how the tube merge count differs that Steve mentioned as well. [I]Thankfully[/I], Ford didn't fuse a converter directly to the manifold like the 2015 Coyote. The manifold to cylinder head flange on the 5.2 engine is also very similar to that of the Coyote.
