I'm toying with the idea of getting a 6 branch manifold for no reason other than my car doesn't already have one. The car is lhd, am I right in thinking that a manifold designed for a rhd car will fit but not vice versa? Also my exhaust system is a 2 piece, does that mean that NO manifold will mate to it without some chopping and welding action? Cheers.
