Anyone here using one of these? Thinking of trying one on the Scala seeing as the exhaust manifold gasket needs to be changed anyway. Just after a few opinions on whether they're any good or not.

I have one, was not going to fit as it was very very close to my steering u/j boot.
Now I dont have one on the car it fits fine lol

Nice workmanship on them too!

I had one fitted for about 6 months and only removed it recently for my 16 valve engine upgrade. Mine was fitted to a 2ltr 8valve tall block and I did have clearance issues with the steering rack so had to mess about with the engine mounts. They look and sound great but mine didn't quite fit on the cylinder head studs so a little correction with the die grinder was needed. The other thing I wasn't quite happy with was the big step on the inside of each manifold port where the flange meets each exhaust branch, beautifully welded on the outside but a big gap between the two on the inside so I had mine tig welded on the inside as well to give the exhaust gases a smoother path.
Great value for money but not perfect is my opinion for what it's worth (and it does get rid of those nightmare C clips)
Mine's for sale, if anyone is interested PM me.
