Valver Manifold on Willy engine/exhaust

[FlamingMonkey]

Right I have aquired a Valver manifold and downpipe, and have ecountered some different problems that 2live had when fitting his.

Manifold fits ok, down pipe attaches ok, but where ever the downpipe is placed its very very close to an engine/gearbox mount, which makes me thinks its gonna rattle its ass off when driving.

Has anyone else had this problem or is this what you do when you have a Valver manifold.....the thing that gets me wondering whether or not I have the correct Valver downpipe?

Any help appreciated people.

Cheers

Rob

It does sit rather close to the dogbone mount.

Rather as in very hehe, a few mm at best.

Problem is downpipe spurts off at a spurious angle, so my guy is gonna chop it and change the angle of it so it actually fits the rest of the exhaust.

Seems a pain in the arse to get it to fit, when nobosy else has moaned about it, every other post seems a straight on jobbie.

I dont see how it can come off at a funny angle, as its attached using a collar so can be swiveled 360.

Well its not really funny angle, I can swivel the down pipe around so its not at an angle but then its touching the dog bone mount almost, which I assume will knock?

Where did you get the downpipe from?

Not sure if the 19 16v ones are different, is the heatshield whole on both sides or does one side have a sort of strap?

Got if from Infincar, Paul assures me its the right one

Heat shield was on both sides as a whole I think, although I cant remember, and have been removed to give a little bit more room.
