Not got one, so can't comment too much other than; the secondaries are split therefore giving some height adjustment. Hence why they can be used with both KR's and ABF's. This adjustment 'should' mean there are no clearance issues….
They offer a good warentee so could be worth a pop! I'm tempted myself eventually

mines just turned up today - looks very nice, haven't fitted it yet though - there seems to be a bit missing out the kit - got manifold, but it ends where it turns round the bulkhead, leaving a gap of about 50cm back to the standard centre pipe - I was told before I ordered it would fit into the standard centre pipe - just PM'd hottuning so will see what happens.

sounds a bit weird that.
you'll have to let me know hot it goes ross.
when i spoke to them he said it will need connecting with a flang stuff so maybe thats why?
cant think of any other reason.

yeah, i asked if it would connect to standard system, and was told there would be a small pipe in the kit. The small pipe is 20mm long!!!! cant even chop my old pipe as its a twin pipe that goes over the roll bar.
Hottuning say they haven't heard of this issue before and are consulting a specialist.
I will keep you posted how it goes

I have this same problem.
I have just ordered an ashley2 1/4" system, and shall see if it fits when it arives. Otherwise i shall have to get a flexi extension from somewhere.
If i had plenty of money i would go for the storm developments one

just had pm from hottuning - they think I have a bit missing out the kit, so hopefully I will get a longer pipe!
Will let you know if anything turns up

My new 2 1/4" exhaust from ashley has arrived today and i just thought i would let everyone know that it is about 500mm short off my Raceland manifold.
I think this is a poor do. It needs a 500mm extension with a flexi section.
Does anyone know where i could get a 2 1/4" flexi extension?

Has nobody bought one and actually fitted it then? I find it hard to believe……or that anyone who has, simply hasn't posted up on this forum???

edwin put me onto stictly dubs in kent to find out if there is meant to be an extra pipe in the kit, they said yes, so went back to edwin, to get him to look in another box, since then he seems to have gone awol - been trying to get hold of him all day and nobody at hottuning have seen him since my 1st call this morning!
really want to know one way or another so I an get it put on, sick of seeing it in my kitchen (not as much as the missus though!)

So basically its a manifold only and doesn't replace the stock downpipe (which includes a short horizontal section after the manifolds curved more/less vertical path)?
I'd say anyone who's asked if it fits the rest of the stock system and been told yes, has been misled!

yup misled straight down the garden path!!!
been down to exhaustsuk today in sheffield (the do the custom stuff for pimp my ride uk). Spoke to a guy called pete down there, he has said if I fit the manifold and get the car to him, he will fabricate a stainless section to fit my car and exhaust for ?50 and fit it. cant say fairer than that really, although still dissapointed hottuning said it would fit straight to my system before I ordered, and has taken over a week to get an answer out of them as to if I'm missing a bit or that it doesn't actually fit straight!

It does seem to be a recurring theme - there's another thread with, once again, a problem with GSF. Maybe the committee can explain the audit or quality control checks which are done, for an advertiser to be able to advertise on this website (both have banners on the left) or is it simply the colour of the money which determines this?

yes just seen that thread too. What I want to know is what has happened to good old fashioned customer service? It seems they will do/say any old rubbish just to get hold of your cash, then want nothing to do with you when you have problems

I know the Supersprint one comes with the additional flexi but again the issue was to make it fit the system as it was too wide. Another call had a reducer in the post so be aware.

I was looking at the 1.8 8v manifold but there are communication issue and delivery delays from what I've read.
I'm waiting to get an idea from our members before buying so feedback is and should be welcomed by our community… good or bad.
How have people found the product, delivery and communication who have actually bought it?
