You have to cut it in two places. I used a serrated knife. Cut it either side of the inlet manifold and remove it in 3 pieces.

Edit: Also I very highly rate the flame inlet it makes such a huge difference, works even better with a Janspeed 4-2-1 as it helps to pull the power band down the rev range a bit. Would be even better with a 500-1000rpm rev limit increase + ARP conrod bolts.

This is mine, I think it looks OK actually.

Nice replies whilst I've been away

It looks so clutter free because, as said, The SAI and A/C have been removed.

The battery has been relocated to the boot.

Also the wiring has been removed from the plastic thingy and repositioned under the inlet manifold.

I've also removed everything off of the passenger side suspension turret all the vacuum piping that was to do with the SAI and EGR as that is blanked off as well.

Sean what did you use to black the large hole in the middle of the manifold?

Im wanting to blank mine off and have been trying to get a tap to tap a thread so i can put a bold & washer in but cant get the right size tap.

I used the hole that the SAI was bolted into. The blank was made using the gasket that sat between the SAI and the manifold, just copy the gasket using some 2-5mm thick aluminium obviously omitting the big hole. Then bolt it back up. Leave the gasket in there for good measure as well.

Hope that helps

I haven't unfortunately, but you can see the gasket in both pics sitting between the 2nd+3rd headers.

Basically when you unbolt the mushroomy looking thing off the manifold there is a small gasket that goes around that hole and around one of the existing bolt holes. I made a blank the same shape as that gasket.
