[jamiecrookston83]

Wanted one of these for so long and i've finally managed to pick a supersprint manifold and down pipe up. Happy to say the least :grin:

Ooh. Do you have the extra bits that go the exhaust end as well. I had been stitched up on here twice buying ones that were not complete.

[jamiecrookston83]

Thats all I have at the moment.... Is there more?

[bass_direct]

There should be another bit and some springs with it. It acts as a flexi joint to prevent manifolds cracking

[jamiecrookston83]

Where should the springs be?

And a piss poor job of it, it does too. Mines been rewelded... :(

Ran mine for over 5 years with no flexi joint & no cracking :grin:

[jamiecrookston83]

It acutally looks like it has been welded again. I may be wrong in that though.

Well, I ran mine without the joint for ages.

Got a spare cup off Paddy and got a fire ring for a Vauxhall in the end, which seemed okay in terms of fit. Tis fine.

You can email Supersprint and they will help:

'Hello.
The i.d diameter of that ring is 50mm.
If you are in a hurry, you can find a replacement part at any Opel/Vauxhall
dealer in you area, or at a local muffler shop, since it has the same i.d.
dimensions as the sealing ring which comes stock on the exhaust of several
Astra F models.
However, we can supply the ring, if you have trouble in locating one
locally.
Also, please let us know which flex joint parts you need, beside of the
ring.
Do you need bolts & springs only, or the entire outlet/connecting pipe?
We will be more than glad to help you.
Best Regards

Well bully for you Mr Seward! :P

[16v_paddy]

Who's taking bets that mine will now crack within 200 miles of me getting the car back on the road? :lol:
