look similar to the Megan headers.. expect them to crack and start blowing fairly quickly.. as no slip joints..

So what is the best manifold to go for then? Iv heard equal length manifolds are good but the ones i have seen on ebay arent equal length?

Ps Cheers for the map simon, car is so much nicer to drive now, well appart from the gearbox. But thats another story lol.

Cheers

The top one is a ferral. And IMHO would be a ******* to fit as the up-pip is not seperate from the rest. Hence you have to get every lined up at once.

The upipe is hard enough to sort on it's own, Not easy.............

Unless you are running big BHP i would not touch them, get your standard ones ported by harvey or do them yourself if you can. More gains and much cheaper.

Gruppe-S or GT Spec or HKS, or a number of us can supply unbadged equivalents.

Glad the car is going well.. sorry to hear about the gearbox problems though, all that power it is putting through it now..

Oh and porting your headers or indeed getting Harvey to do it is a great improvement over standard..

Port the header joins with a small grinder / wheel on a drill to match the gaskets.. remove all steps in the joins basically so the gas flows better.
