Exhaust Down Pipe August 17, 2021, 07:36:59 AM Hi All, i am re fitting engine and box on Friday, i have fitted the down pipe between the sub-frame and body and held it in place loosely with a bungee, my question is, is it best to fit the manifold to the down pipe and both the whole thing to the head, or fit the manifold to the head and join them together as I lower (slide) the engine in? Thanks Phil
