So i fitted the mani. All went well taking the studs out, dance'd through that! i was expecting at least one snapping however none did! yay. I had to take the EGR off to even get the OE manifold off and it had to be off whilst fitting the S/S. The oil tube thing had to come out aswell. Getting the old mani out of the bay was a ball ache and it isnt exactly light, 10.9kg according to my ma's scales. Fitting the new one wasnt too bad, wasnt fun either. And lastly the cat join. most would think it would bolt up straight away. No i faffed on and faffed on and no futher. i moved the cat out the way and the 2 17mm bolts bolted in. I lined the cat back up. They didnt want to go in. And when i got them in i still had play. I could literally pull the cat back and forth and it exposed a gap. not sure if srs?? so tommorow i need to buy new bolts, nuts aswell and try again.
A job i'll never do again. That is all.
Couple of pics, not that many.
Off
Size
weight of OE in kg
New studs (full x10) in
All fitted
After literally a 6 mile total 30/40 mph run. It was smokey for like 2/3 mins? then went.
Cheers.

That manifold looks gorgeous (coming from someone who bought a Piper 4-1 brand new )
And mega kudos for posting links to where you bought parts too!
Looking good

On the supersprint mani isnt there a join at the bottom of it? Can't you make it slightly longer to stop the movement where the cat is?

God knows lmao, don't forget I did this like 4/5 years ago....Maybe cut a quarter of them off? Best way to find out is to clamp then exhausts together with a pair of grips and mark on the spring where it needs cutting

Use a solid bolt to clamp the 2 flanges together then cut the spring to fit. Then remove the bolt and fit the bolt with the spring in the other hole.
Also get rid of the air pump will never look clean with that in there.

I decided to run no springs. It doesnt vibrate or anything so thats that.
The bay does get hot and that bothers me. No sure how il go about keeping it cool though.
Main problem is the alternator sits rather close, the wire is 2mm? close to one pipe. Got a feeling it will end up melting it. Im going to make a little guard to keep that wire cool.
last pic because after purple is black lol..

I run mine with no springs mate. But just be careful it puts more stress on the flange.
