If you go by the fitting instructions off our site they aren't too bad to fit.

If you're still unsure about installation then I would suggest you give Bill Towler mechanical (in Burton SA) a call as they've had experience with installation this product.

They definitely work even better with a tune

thanks m8 i got a heap of stuff of u for my vx [maf,throttle body,rockers] and got bill towler to fit it and he did a horrible job took an extra day and over charged me an extra 150 bucks and grease marks all over the bonnet and guards, and grease on my steering wheel also, no impressed with his attitude and service from him at all. but on another note m8 I'm keen to get this i will pm u for payment details thanks Scott

[Archers]

umm just wondering when i take the manifold off do i need to replace the gasket? is there one there? thanxs scott

[Torquative]

I'll be grabbing a set hopefully this week so I can fit it over the long weekend and see how we go

[Fishman88]

Hey MACE im very intereested how much would it cost to get it over to sydney metro?? PM me if u want or wateva haha

Cheers!!

[monaro327]

no mate you don't replace the gasket you use the insulators instead of a gasket. your kit should of come with some black silicone. put a thin layer of this on each side of the insulator to seal against the upper and lower manfiold.

[MACE]

For those who are interested the cost for the spacers at the moment is $130 plus $12 express postage. Given that the manifold has to come off it would probably be a good time to change the spark plugs too, depending of age of course

Cheers
Steve

How do we go about ordering some mate? Give you a call or do it via email?

[Archers]

hoping mine get here today? then i will fit them tonight

[Fishman88]

Thanx Mace u will be hearing from me soon need to save up some $$ rego comin up soon...

[Archers]

update i got these in the post today and i just finished fitting them took me an hr and a half now i have to leave it for an hr for the silicone to dry then take it for a spin and let u guys know how she went


edit

took it out for a spin about 10kays and seems more responsive louder indution noise about twice as loud as the two hole mod noise, i filled up on fuel [bp ulitiate as always] so i will see if there is a difference there, all in all im happy with it total cost was $142. i will take it out on the weekend for a cruise and see how we go on the highway.

got these off impulse and have installed an have noticed a big change in the loss of power up the top end, and have also noticed that after leaving the car to sit for about 30 mins after car is turned off the manifold is back to boiling hot temps, but as soon as stopped and checked was warm but cool enough to touch.

anyone else had problems with loss of power up top. i have a pod kit and xu6 exhaust, mind u the car has become more drivable as a regular car but for over all throw u back in ur seat has really lost alot of power am gonna give the car another week or so to see how it works out if mot will be taking them off
