But several people have told me that the ACT manifold fit is not good at all.
Then talk to Tim at ACT, his after sales service is second to none. What people say on forums may or may not be rubbish but if you were spending over a grand on a new manifold and you didn't like the fit, wouldn't you speak to the supplier before just slagging them off in a public forum?
I think there are plenty of happy ACT customers on here, me included. (although I don't have the 3 piece manifold in question)
I have the 3 part (expensive!) manifold and found the quality to be very good.
My only tip when fitting is to assemble it all very loosely then tighten up. It is very tempting to fit the manifold sections first and tighten down as the rear lower bolts are easy to get to but due to the restricted space, fitting the next sections is all but impossible.

And removing/refitting the spark plugs is no harder than a lot of modern machinery.
