Depends on what manifold you are running. 4x4 you dont need one 2wd manifold its a good idea. Standard ones are the best but ypou need a 2wd head or get the breacket welded to a 4x4 head. The Spec R ones are good and the Bailey ones are ok. I have snapped one of these though.

how do you mean shorter? Do you mean thew height? Just get someone to make out up for you it isnt thsat hard bud. Just copy a Bailey one thats what alot of people do.

i dont have one but i have a 4wd manifold on my 2wd engine. i was told it wasnt nessessary but im sure it contributed greatly to my recent £600 bill to have my head helicoiled after the manifold bolts ripped out the head
