Shug's correct - the S2 and S1 don't share flexi's the flange is different.

It's a naming thing... I now see John was referring specifically to the little bit of the downpipe from the flexi back. Not that clear, as most people call the whole downpipe the 'flexi section'...

So he's right, I'm right, depends how you read it

Yeah - The bit from the flexi back is the same - but since it comes as a package .......

When are you doing it Greg? and where?

lol at you lot

I'm out of ideas when it comes to fitting. Lawrence's lift is AFAIK not available and I had/have no plan B. Tried calling Falkland but they didn't get back to me, and Judes are chokka for 3 weeks

Could squeeze me in and fit for 100 notes, but its getting the car down to geordieland

Add to that the complication that I only have a wee extension on my MOT re-test from Kwikfit (till around a week's time), and the car is currently SORN, it'll need to get trailered wherever its going....

Fu'td

Greg,

I would offer but currently have a VOR S2 sitting in there until I can sort out another back box (working on it at present)

Given that and that I'm fairly flat out at work until after the weekend and I don't have the kind of facility to sort any issues should something go snap.......

Sorry mate, but it's looking like axle stands.

mate, I guessed from reading the other thread that your pit was otherwise engaged! Cheers for the thought though

It's actually all Gregs fault for posting this.

Greg if you want a hand, let me know when and I'll try and make and excuse, failing that I have a trolly jack and some spanners etc..and a pair of big axle stands.......

Guys,
The definative answer and pictures are here

Also Both Robin's shed and my car have the mgtf intermediate system fitted which has the six stud flange but still utilises the standard S1 cat.
As a wee bonus i think the pipes may be slightly bogger bore but i'm not sure.

I have got the later six stud manifold and mgtf front pipe, its a larger bore with better welds but I had to move the rear hanger further back by grinding the old one off and rewelding once in postion whilst cutting the mgtf one off

steam venting here... I cannot get anywhere to fit my farking manifold

not impressed at all. Falkland haven't got back to me for 2 sodding days!!

Cheers ladies & gents,
