right guys my raceland is now bollox'd after only being on the car a few days
hit a road resurface ramp too fast :wall: which was about 40mph not a good start
just wanted to know if the other aftermarket manifolds such as the supersprint and piper hang low, or lower again than the raceland cause i did notice the raceland sat quite a bit lower (must be due to so cheap)
also this is to go onto my magnex system so must fit that but i am willing to buy a new centre if you guys recommend :y:

My 4-2-1 supersprint sits perfect on mine :y: not too low or too high

Supersprint will be about the same height. Piper 4-1s sit even lower.

most 4-2-1 hang about the same

Piper and gmc/btb are lower being 4-1 mines took a little abuse recently and torn all my heatwrap to bits but its not damaged the mani itself

Well the heatwrap had a straight clean cut through then about a 2inch hole along with leaving the bottom of the manifold almost flush flat I was told after work the damage is too bad for repair :(
Has anyone got a supersprint on a magnex just want to make sure it doesn't sit like the raceland tbh

ive seen a crushed pipe repaired just cut out that bit and weld a new pipe in
Any custom exhaust place should be able to do it

i still cant understand how its so low

as above, seen some bashed in mani's but your car must be stupidly low to sersiouley damage one, majority dont sit much lower then stock

It's decked on coilovers, they are resurfacing the road down by my house didn't no till I bounced off the ramp well if anyone thinks they can repair it once I get it off the car i'll pretty much give it away
