i have a 16v conversion one from same people and cant say i would recommend it. very thin walled pipes and poor welding . cant comment on the fit

See their add states a 10 year warranty

 thiness is weight saving haha! and must be better than my welding. guess you get what you pay for.

thanks for the response guys ..

Fitted one 18 months ago, runs close to the steering rubber gaiter so needs wrapping, good increase in performance on my carbed clipper.

thanks for the heads up think I'm going to order one next week along with some heat wrap.. cheers guys .

I am in the middle of restoring my mk1 gti and have got another Ansa manifold same as I fitted in 1995 and can't grumble about how long that lasted very well made and gives good results
