Luckily that's just a temporary measure. When I lined the manifold up for a trial fit I noticed the hole where the pressure sensor goes is easily accessible whilst the manifold is on, so I left it out for now until I get a plug spanner.

When it comes to putting it in I'll just rebuild it to make it smaller, looks easily enough.

Check my progress thread mate, I've posted a little vid in there of how it sounds. It's a camera phone video so not the best. I'll be doing one with a proper video camera when I get a chance.

It's well worth the hassle mate, the sound is just sexual.
