i know a lot of you have their coilover's but i wondered if there manifold's were any good ????
my down pipe is blowing and it cost's 260 euro :angry: cos it has a cat in it :angry: :angry:
-
any one ???
if not do you recomend a 4 branch from any where else ??

I've read about issues with power steering on the raceland manifolds, but that might just be for rhd in which case i guess you'd be ok!

Hello,
I have one on my daily. The only problem on a RHD car is the downpipe runs close the bottom of the steering column shaft. I covered the boot over the UJ with heat proofing otherwise it may have got too hot. been running this now for around a year with no problems.
Since you are in Holland, I take it your car is LHD, so the fittment should be fine.

my 4 branch isnt heat wrapped and has caused no problems with the steering rack :smiley:
and thats over 30k miles :smiley:

ok cool did you notice any power gain's ???
and how hard are they to fit ??? do you need the subframe off to fit it ?? i understand that you dont need it off to remove the down pipe but the 4 branch is bigger :shocked:

it was fitted before i owned the car, so i cant say how difficult it is to fit or if there were any power gains :tongue:
also i havent driven another GTI so i have nothing to compare the current GTI's power to. :sad:
-
When i fitted my manifold it just about squeezed over the rocker cover or did i remove it :undecided:??. either way it went in.
-
the problem with these is the flange at the end. iirc, you have to use a mk3 exhaust system for it to fit, as it wont cnnect to mk2 systems.

I think a rado/golf g60 decat pipe will do the trick

not too sure. some gouys on golfmk2 forums bought these from the group buy and they had problems finding a pipe that mated. at the end, they found a mk3 one was the best shot

the flange look's like it will fit my exhaust BUT my car came with a cat as standard so maybe that is why they wont fit english non cat cars :smug: :smug:
