As we know, removing the manifold can only be done one of three ways. Either remove the cylinder head, remove the engine or drop the subframe, none of which you really want to be doing.  ________________________________________ "Supercharged - 454.1bhp/317.5lb/ft"Peugeot 306 GTi-6 2000 (X), Moonstone  |

 I had the same when i transplanted the engine of my diabolo 6 to the black one. I remember seeing that there was a weird looking weld on the exhaust manifold but i didn't bother as i just wanted to get the car back on the road. Still.... when i saw 880€ for a new exhaust manifold i almost got an heart attack.  |
