Why not just buy a stainless manifold off the shelf?

On a serious note though...VW clearly didn't design the exhaust system with maintenance practicability in mind

well tbh the manifold isnt a maintence item , they normally last the life of the car (mines still going fine after 168k) golfs imo are great to work on , ive worked on alot of cars and its up there with the best of them imo. try working on a peugoet or a rover then you'll see what i mean , ask any mechanic about the 'peugeot im gonna use random size bolts everywhere syndrome!'

Noo sorry, i meant why are you going to get one made up and fitted rather than just buy one off the shelf?

couse i can buy an already made one for £220 but have one made by longlife and fitted for £200 :S wich one is easier lol and better quality remember the longlife one comes with a lifetime warranty
