Default Exhaust manifold
Has anyone tried one of these?

clicky

How easy are they to put together? Anyone got an easier (cheap) option for a manifold? (zetec).

Cheers

Dave

Best bit so far: Getting it running
Worst bit so far: Cutting steel for wishbones and engine mounts.
Most annoying bit so far: Generator packing up half way through welding.

David, get yourself over to AAS on Scotswood Road and see if you resist one of their works of art I couldn't!

Totally agree with teun on this one, I bought one of those £99 sets and sent it back. None of the bits fitted together, total waste of money. Took me about 10 days to get my money back too.

3ge do the flanges I believe and steel pipe is available from local suppliers.

Alternative try Ford parts at Dunston for an ST focus manifold as per Spuds car.
