4-2-1 manifolds can be tricky to fit, usually at least one stud needs cutting down and the nuts need to go on in a certain order just takes a bit of thinking sometimes, its hard to explain without being there to show you

ok cheers mate, so theres a certain way to put the studs in then!

[KrazyDayz]

The studs should be fitted first, then manifold and then bolts.. As he said you may need to drill a hole or two bigger

Shit manifold got the same on mine, not worth the trouble tbh. I had to leave one of the nuts off because theres no chane of fitting it
