Silver! Posted January 8, 2012 Report Share Posted January 8, 2012 Do you not have to tighten the curve at the bottom of the downpipe to suit the Lupo? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dan Gti Posted January 8, 2012 Author Report Share Posted January 8, 2012 Im not sure mate. I got my friend to look at it after it had been fitted a bit ****. But hes tighten it all up and its straight now but still sitting too low .Ill get him to have a look tomorrow i guess Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Thissy Posted January 8, 2012 Report Share Posted January 8, 2012 Hi Dan, i had a Raceland manifold & de-cat fitted to my sport.. I managed to tweak it to get it to fit perfectly on there, i now have a Gti and attempted to fit it last week.. I then had the same problem as you.. It sat ridiculously low! I got the oxy-settling torch on the bottom of the manifold and tweaked it up an inch or two.. I've only trial fitted it since but it looks to sit fine, clears the sump fine and seems to sit similarly to the standard system.. Not sure if you've noticed but the manifold is VERY close to the alternator.. Hoping to make up some sort of heat shield in the near future.Mike Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
