its opened ended spanner all the way
Mine is on too. I also noticed a strange sound, possibly due to a leak. I fastened the screws a bit more and now the sound is much less and seems to disappear when warm. Sounds like what rik1083 reported earlier.
I recorded some movies (heatshield not fastened yet).
Cold:
Warm:
@rik1083: is this what it sounds like with you?
@Garry: is this ok, or should i change anything?
Thanks,
Maurice.

yup deff a leak on the manifold face plate let it warm up and then be carefull as it gets bloody hot and do the nuts up as when it warm the metal will move and form alot easyer as the flage does warp a tad when they are wealding it as it get too hot.
I do not want to stress my head studs to much with fitting this warped flange, so I straightened it first =>
Clamped it to a heavy piece of metal and put some heat on it... It needed A LOT of heat, but now my flange is at least straight.
And while I was in the workshop it was a good time to close off the EGR channel. (welded)
My dremel is also cooling down from all the excessive inside welds I smoothed, but now it looks and should flow pretty OK.
Time for fitting.

yup they sure are now.

Fitted my (Dremel tweaked ) piper manifold + 2,5 catpipe today.
Maybe because I disconnected my ECU a while, but I have a notorious dip in power ~3500rpm. Also after some driving through that rev range, it still feels like there is not enough fuel there. :eh: Go above 3800 and it is just like a switch till redline.
(Edit: It's not like the original midrange dip, but really no power between 3300-3700rpm..)
But an M62 will probably fix this.
Ow, and after some spirited driving I now have a engine light + fan running.roblem: The 2nd Lambda is not liking that 200cel cat..
Do we have a working MIL eliminator scheme around here?

Searched the forum for O2 sims:

Any other more local source for these?
