Same happened with my XS mate. Turned out to be a faulty breather filter ________________________________________ '01 Astor Grey GTi6'99 Cherry Rallye |

I seem to be the only person who's done this and not had any issues whatsoever! Everything I unplugged from one manifold I plugged into the other. ________________________________________ Ph1 306 GTi 6 | RX8 231 S1 | YBR 125 Cafe Racer | MT-03 660 |

on my XS is made a noticeable difference to the sound and it definitely felt less asthmatic up to the limiter. The '6 exhaust manifold made a bigger difference with a very noticeable increase in torque when pulling away. ________________________________________ Ph1 306 GTi 6 | RX8 231 S1 | YBR 125 Cafe Racer | MT-03 660 |

Personally I have done it and to be honest i think it is a total waste of time, although i have not got round to fitting the Exhaust manifold in. I think my xsi pulled alot better with the original manifold |

The engine isn't happy with both the manifolds being upgraded, it's choked up and is slowly killing its' catalytic converter. ________________________________________ '99 1.8 XS - Sold'00 GTi6 - Killed by armco '01 Cabriolet 1.8 - Sold '96 Eunos Roadster 1.8 Import |

Because of the additional air I think the sensors are confused causing it to overfuel, resulting in blocked catalytic converters and eventually high engine temps, resulting in burnt piston rings which is what Asim had. It'll cost around ________________________________________ '99 1.8 XS - Sold'00 GTi6 - Killed by armco '01 Cabriolet 1.8 - Sold '96 Eunos Roadster 1.8 Import |
