volkswag0nvr6 0 Posted December 6, 2006 have just brought my first G60 on sat and she needs a bit of work doing! the gasket on the manifold has gone so i thought i might as well fit a 4 into 1.. is this worth doing on the G60? and how easy is it to change on these would i need to get it up on the ramp or could i do it on my drive? thanks in advance lee Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Shaggy 0 Posted December 6, 2006 I would say it it worth doing yeah, especially if you plan to flow the head and add a cam later on... The G-werks Manifolds work well, i have one on my car.. very happy with it.. You could also try the supersprint manifolds... although these have a smaller diameter header.. http://www.g-werks.co.uk/Products_Exhausts/Default.aspx Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Crasher 3 Posted December 6, 2006 The Supersprint only fits left hand drive properly and can let air in that freaks out the lambda sensor. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Henny 0 Posted December 7, 2006 G-Werks one (yeah, I know I'm starting to sound like a stuck record, but his stuff IS good! :lol: ) is deffo worth it... it's on my shopping list if I can get hold of some money... 8) Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
volkswag0nvr6 0 Posted December 7, 2006 cool cheers guys, ive been quoted £100 to change the manifold by a local. does this sound about right? Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
_leon_ 0 Posted December 7, 2006 @Crasher - any more info on the supersprint items? i have one and it works very well Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
lamwagon 0 Posted December 7, 2006 iam bout to buy a g works one when they arrive, looked at others but this 1 just stands out, cant wait lol Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Henny 0 Posted December 8, 2006 changing the manifold is a bit of a tricky job unless you've got the head off (then it's easy!) so £110 isn't over the top IMHO.... 8) Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
kongo127 0 Posted December 9, 2006 This is my 2nd G60 and i noticed that there´s a very small crack on the exhaust manifold like on the previous one. Is this a common failure? Why do they appear? Can they be welded? :oops: Yeah... It´s leaking... Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
_leon_ 0 Posted December 9, 2006 could be due to knackered rear engine mounts? will increase the rocking motion that'll help it crack Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
