    you could possibly make it fit, but will probably look out of place. theyre specifically for the us l36(ecotec), which uses a composite banana manifold(like an ls1)

    (this is a late model one where they changed to aluminum due to a coolant passage problem with the composite ones)

    Thanks mate I think I will just leave it for the time being. To much of a drama I reckon. I thought there was one where you can just whack it on and would sit flush and look nice but I'll leave the idea for now...
