there should be a second piece with two pipes and a cross flow piece (shaped like an X) going back into two pipes which would then go to your centre box/cat. make sure its for a LeftHandDrive car as a RHD manifold would foul on the power sterring pump and dont think it will fit.

Thanks, So just to clarify these 2 bits are vital piece for both 2 & 3 piece systems?

Currenly I have a standard 2 piece system and was kinda hoping it would just replace the existing manifold.....obviously not that simple!
