    Great stuff, but don't you think the exhaust manifold could have been slightly better designed?

    It's definately the least professional looking part of the kit I agree and also, imo, the part that caused all the hold up of getting the parts delivered, been a long slog to get them here. It does appear to have been constructed simple to connect the parts up without much "art" having gone into it, that said, looking in it does have decent scope for flow etc so I have no worries about it's use, Just have to wait and see how it goes as with all things.

    tbh I dont see any reason to do so at the moment, the stuff we have recieved is good quality and in theory will provide good results, I'm never one to say it will make XXX power etc though but it should be good as it's been well specced. Just have to wait and see how it goes. I certainly don't see the need to pay for another exhaust manifold on the basis that this one looks like it could have had slightly more time taken on it.

    People will always suggest that something could have been done different/better. Same was said of my Rover and that turned out crap didnt it lol.

    I can see where Adam etc are coming from but there is no need to run off getting other ones made up when this one will do the job just fine.

    We'll see

    Indeed, that's why I didn't suggest actually changing it. I happen to agree with you, ie, see how it works. If it's crap, then change it. If it works, then great!

    you are dead right Ross, it has to be a lot better than the standard one, so that's all that matters now,
    If its anything like the Rover then hold onto your hats
