is the superspring s/steel?
if so you'd need to be wary
i know that superspring manifolds in mk2 golfs are prone to cracking unless you run uprated engine mounts to stop excess movement
this dont happen with mild steel manifolds like janspeed etc

no mate my corsa just had powerflow cat back and bfo cone on then when we had that race, ive since had janspeed 4 branch with egr plug removed that goes in the manifold
and had the lexmaul manifold all polished an opened up the holes to make 25% more airflow through each chamber, fitting my lexmaul over christmas god ive had that thing for ages an not fitted it lol just bin too busy
have you got air con coz when my 4 branch was fitted they had to remove the air con gas bottle that cost 45 quid to refill took em 2 hours to fit it.
also what lad said above ive heard that stainless manifolds are prone to cracking and shearing stainless in very brittle and fragile when i spoke to a tuner he said mild steel would be better when i told him what i was getting but could be bullshitting lol but why would he??????
also broster a place in daventry will polished an port your head skim it and refit for 175 quid

At a guess it looks like its comparing something, the KW is the power, in europe they measure car power in KW instead of BHP and its showing the KW at a speed in maybe kilometers an hour not sure just a guess
