4.2.1 manifold for VTS

[veyron]

does the raceland 4.2.1 manifold fit straight onto a VTS mk1 1999 model without any issues?

[bullit]

think there a bit of hassle, someone will clear it up

straight fit, its only MK2 (CAT in Manifold) where you have to move the oil filter

yeah seems great for the money mate, even tho its enclosed it still almost as loud as my old open piper filter

do you lot not think the quality of these racelands is shit? i fitted 1 for somoeone and its made from tin foil!!!!!!!

[Japman]

My mate bought one and he had all kinds of prbs with getting it to fit

[stevenet15]

i personally had no problems with it fitting, 2 of the bolts were a little tight but nothing someone with 2 brain cells couldnt do, also before i bought it i saw post about the racelands metal was real thin but when i got mine it didnt seem any thinner then any other ss manifolds and for the money you cant complain as it cost half the price of other manifolds

[williamsvts]

its like tin foil compared to other mani's i have seen.

[stevenet15]

maybe mine was a one off then, didnt seem to thin, very strong a sturdy and the welds all seemed a good'un. but then as i'm a mechanic i fit alot of different manifolds accross a varied amount of cars so what u see as thin i see as normal as its about the same thickness to manifolds i have fitted to corsas, puntos, golfs, subarus, etc....

[williamsvts]

people have had them glowing red on a standard vts, so they must be thin.
