Ashley 16v 4 branch mainfolds

[j_s]

John will be back later tonight to answer that but he told me over the phone his car was running rather nicely but then we also put on a new flowed/ported rebuilt head 

As for the Ashley build quality and the size issue etc, really really disappointed. I know they are cheap but my god

have to say the build quality isnt that great, the welds are really messey and the mounting face had some inperfections that needed filing off. Plus a random chunk of metal was stuck inside one of the ports?  Also my zaust now hits the side of the centre tunnel, seems its a little off centre!

But it does fit a 2e lump OK without hitting the firewall, which was my main concern!

and the performance what was that like?

It does seem quicker, but as j_s said I also fitted a flowed head and I have reason to belive my old head & manifold/downpipe were totally knackered, plus the inlet manifold bolts were only finger tight.  Hardly surprising really

Cool well i got it today and I’ll install it in the week & have a rolling road tune done by next month (payday), so I’ll let you know how it all goes – I must say so far I am very impressed with the build quality.

Well we can safely say my Milltek 4 branch was a work of art in comparison with the Ashley but it works and was cheap, as long as it doesn't crack then it's all types of awesome then, hey John
