Good morning gents

Are the UK and USA m20b25 six branch manifolds the same? The only reason I am asking is because I have been looking on ebay and all the USE ones seem to be different on section where they connect to the middle box of the exhaust.

A RHD manifold will fit a LHD car but not the other way round due to the steering linkage.

The other reason the ones on US ebay may differ at the centre box join is because most US spec cars have a catalytic converter where as all the UK RHD manifolds are designed to work with a 3 piece non cat system centre and rear box.
