    My latest buy

    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

    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.

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

    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
    Alessandro Gilli
