Talk about over complicating a simple job

 

 

Already had one fitted

Though the engine is in line to begin with so not a massive difference IMO, smooth shfiting and more direct feel

 

Sure! i lost nearly 5kg with the megan manifold.

 

Hey Ron, OT but is that an earthing kit in blue?

Glad I have a damper on mine, I'm having a manifold fitted in a couple of weeks but will not be able to DIY it.

 

Also fitted my Mugen manifold at the weekend, seems I had an easier time than you Hypersonik The stock manifold was a pain to get out but we just loosened the engine mount (2 bolts from below), then jacked the engine up slightly to gain enough clearance, stock manifold came out easily after that. The new manifold went in from above without any issues.

Didn't really take long at all to get this part done I thought. Wish I had taken some pictures now, could've written a step by step tutorial.

 

looking good . you took off the heat sheild is that ok to do? am going to put on E damper with out heat sheild
cheers daz

 

Slim - I got the OEM manifold out without haveing to do anything other than unbolt the top heatsheild and the manifold itself - came straight out.

That was where the easy bit stopped!

Pie & Kiwi -

JD - Group buy could be on the cards. I'll have to have a look and see prices. I suspect that you'd be looking at >

 

Well, this afternoon I checked the condition of the engine mount:




All cured and ready to go back on


Just a quck line up and test fit:


Here is the tool I constructed in order to tighten the mount!


All done and dusted




Right, so a review on the manifold itself now then.

Performance wise, I felt no difference. None of that throttle response/mid range thing, it felt exactly the same

However the noise....

The noise is ace!

Worth the money for it and the weight saving!

 

What noise? Hows it any different?

If it makes a better noise though I may need one
