Not sure about the Exhaust Mani differences, but yes, the C36 does have the EGR on the Exhaust mani aswell.

I think that it might depend on which market the C36 was built for.

My C36 (Australia) does not have anything on the exhaust manifolds at all.

I also suspect that the C280 and C36 exhaust manifolds are the same. I haven't seen any reference to a special AMG manifold.

 

Tahnks for input!

Are there any numbers on the manifolds? Part numbers perhaps?

I am considering changing my manifolds to the later ones and geting rid of the EGR.

I want to know what P/Ns I should be looking for.

 

I can take a look for you this evening, I will let you know what I find.

 

mine is a US model 1997- no EGR on it. same manifolds as the 2.8

 

Yeah there aren't any numbers on both the AMG and the 280 manifold's, but they do look the same in size.
Hey John, where did they move the EGR to in '97?

 

there is no EGR

 

You mean like at all?

How does it manage to past the same emission test as the EGR-equipped M104s?

I'd really like to know that.

 

pretty much what I have been wondering as well, but I just passed my emissions last week

 

Is the fuel management different on 97 model? Or maybe just the ECU?

 

Correct.

The split is between 1996 and 1997 and the ECUs are very different. Even horsepower outputs are 268hp to 276hp respectively.

 

i say a 95 will still be faster up to 190km for once it shifts into 4th it will lose against the shorter gearing of the later 97.

BTW euro spec C36AMG 95 or 97 come with same rating from factory of 206kw.

 

c36 manifolds and 4 speed box

it was my impression that the 4 speed went faster until you probably reached top speed! heck of a kick with the vacuum operation!

anyway the manifolds are exactly the same! i have the c280 & the c36. breaking my c280 so you welcome to buy the manifolds?

only one lambda probe before the cats! nothing else in the manifold! im in the uk by the way!

im pretty sure that the quoted 276 bhp is using 97 octane fuel! i use 99 in mine. and you can feel a better response! think the Americans have 268bhp with 91 octane? or is the ron different? not sure about that!

my c280 was a 1996 build and the c36 is 1995 build quite a few differences between the two! little things that might be difficult to tell! digital clocks instead of manual, digital heater settings instead of manual, different carbon look on the interior and different steering pumps! some connectors on the harness are slightly different. temp sensor on the engine is a different location.
