Title: 2.0 spider exhaust manifold Post by: droptop on July 06, 2015, 09:01:45 AM Having had a second downpipe flange gasket blow in under 200 miles, I need to see the root cause.
I know my manifold is dodgy at the flange with damaged bolts which may have led to distortion of the mating faces but before I replace it, I just wonder if anyone has a 4-1 they'd like to sell or swap for other Beta parts? I have a perfect standard one along with a good downpipe so that's not the issue. Not sure if it's an engine-out job but before I commit either way to changing the manifold and having a bespoke exhaust with flexi pipe fitted, I have to take a shot at getting a good tubular item but I don't want to pay an insane price for a new one. On the subject of replacing the stock exhaust, has anyone had the main silencer replaced with a just pipe and if so, how loud does it get? I don't mind loud as long as it doesn't sound like a "tuned" Jap or a broken exhaust Operators are standing by, so call now!

Check your engine mounts are ok. Also I have a down pipe with flexi which attaches to standard manifold if it helps.

Though it's a right faff getting the tubular ones out.
