   i ordered a manifold from janspeed and after waiting to and a half weeks to be delivered due to (manufacturing problems) it arrived.went to fit it today and it dont fit.the gearbox mount is about two inches away from the gearbox,f*ck knows what the done where it meets the exhaust but the old bolts cannot be reused as the two brackets are too far away from each other.
   
   i have contacted janspeed in email but they arent there.will ring tomorrow and see what they can do.

   It doesnt matter about the gearbox mount!
   
   My janspeed didnt even have a gearbox mount on it, neither do a lot of other 4 branch manifolds.
   
   You dont need it mate. As long as you bolt it to the head correctly and tighten up the exhaust flange properly you will be fine.

   Just attempted to fit my Janspeed manifold.
   It's the wrong one. Fouls the oil filter housing.
   Absolutely raging, b@st@rds won't answer the phones.
