Supersprint Centre Section - Saxperience

DomVTR · 21st July 2007, 17:18

hi just brought a supersprint centre section and wen i got it, it said that it was for a 106 rallye/xsi i didnt think much of it coz 106/saxo are the same wen i went to fit it the gasket that goes inbetween the centre pipe and the manifold didnt fit

So i went to my local Euro Car part and brought a gasket for a 106 rallye/xsi and it fitted onto the centre section but it wouldnt fit into my manifold wat going on???? has anyone fitted a supersprint *race* centre section onto a raceland 4-2-1 manifold if so wat gasket did u use???

Wen i got mine fitted , the end that goes on to the backbox was cut off then 2 slits where made then the backbox was slotted in the clamped

Edit * Red it wrong there lol , i had no trouble when mine was fitted , but mines is a standard manifold

just use some exhaust putty to seal it up mate

when i fitted mine i bought a new gasket like you have and then really pushed the two parts together and used some exhaust paste to make sure it was air tight. you could always go to an exhaust center and get them to do it for you. it shouldnt cost too much - £15ish.

edit - the gasket i used was just a standard one for a 106/saxo.

I got mine fitted by a garage for £20.....think they used the standard one in the end cos no other ones wud fit......though if u look under my car at the joint it is loose but it dont sound like it blows though

i've fitted the centre section on a vtr with standard manifold. i had a vts dougnut lyin around i just cut a small section out of it to make it fit the smaller manifold. i used a set of mole grips to hold the to to sections together while putting the bolts in. the problem with these centre sections are they are designed for the 16v or larger exhaust diameters. good luck with fitting.
