The difficult part is removing the old manifold, as the cat being on the downpipe and how chunky the original manifold makes it very hard to access the bolts holding it to the head. It's like turning each bolt one bit at a time in some cases and holding the spanner in tricky positions. Once you get that off, bolting the new one on is very easy because the stainless tubes have more gaps between them.

i got mine fitted by maidstone exhausts and it took them about 3 hours. they had to take the alternator and power steering pump off to get at 1 bolt on the original manifold. did not have to buy any new parts, i already had a sportex cat back on there.

I've only got 1 sensor connected out of the 2. If I connect both will they disappear.
Thanks

Im putting mine on soon so i'll let you know if i get the same

did you manage to fit yours in the end?
Just got a few questions for people as i'm mega confused. if i fit a raceland 4-2-1 manifold to a janspeed cat back i will still have my cat wont i? and when fitting the manifold do you need to use a new gasket or sealer or anything\/ thanks
