Nick you will be pleased with the ACT manifolds. I found the engine reved more easily and torque was better. Also a bit louder.

Its the loudness I want to stop, would prefer to get on track (with or without bolt on silencers). Want to do the manifolds, possible stick the cats back on and rear section too.

Currently got a full "sports" ie extremenly loud - exhaust.

Seen the act manifolds for £925, they can be seperated for ease of fitting. Anyone fitted these? Difficult?

Cats in & back box best way to make quiet, even without cats back box should be quiet enough for most curcuits, we will have new (quiet) back boxes available soon.

Fitting the manifolds is straight forward if you have the right tools, a ramp and decent spanners and long socket extension, I've test fitted a set myself but wouldn't recommend it as a DIY without a ramp job.

I reckon if you can get your old ones off then you'd be able to get the new ones on. wink

I'd love a set but my funds do not permit at the moment.... frown
