I will have access to the OEM exhaust manifold tomorrow, will measure up the diameter. Having compared the OEM exhaust manifold to my Komo-Tec S280 one, it's chalk and cheese in everything.

OEM - Cast iron, small diameter, non-equal length primaries, in short, crap.
Komo-Tec S280 - Full stainless, large diameter, equal length primaries, engineered for high SC power output.

While titanium exhaust manifolds are not common among tuners simply because of the need to complicate and weld pipe designs together, full stainless achieves a more consistent result and is still significantly cheaper.

Have a look at this thread on current available full exhaust systems for the SC Exige from the land of the rising sun.
