Drax, your missing a section of the mani/downpipe kit, there should be a b pipe that deletes the flexi sextion and bolts upto your cat

my dad taught me F/A, he didnt want me or my brothers to follow him into the trade so never actively taught any of use anything! then 3-4 years after i left home he actually asked me why i didnt show an interest in car mechanics, like i said, going mad!

Whats the conclusion of this thread? Where can I get a mani to downpipe gasket from? My Fujitsubo is blowing slightly

I didnt notice it, Vanzep pointed it out to me.

im still non the wiser! contacted vtec direct who said they would get in touch with them in japan and get me a price ASAP, that was 2 months ago and ive emailed 4 times since and not had a reply! so my guess is that they are impossible to source! need to get custom ones made professionally somewhere me thinks!

Im sure this has been covered already, is there any reason not to make your own with sheet gasket? Like this http://www.ebay.co.uk/itm/SHEET-METAL-E ... 335819f887

If there is no other solution I'll make one for my car and if people like what they see I'll knock a few others out.

yeah ive tried that and did a fooking good job of making them if i do say so myself but that metal sheet stuff is jobby and the inner stuff just got too hot and blew out after 50 miles or so
