Thats correct Wuelfrath or Ford, the Ford 1 is much more popular..... Perhaps the 2nd place took an edjucated guess (knowing its far more popular) and got it right...

It has been updated and is still technically "total bollocks" and riddled with inaccuracies.

..they reduce several exhaust ports into one exhaust pipe.
No they don't, the manifold does, the gasket simply ensures a gas tight fit between the manifold and cylinder head.

Faulty exhaust gaskets can lead to loss of engine compression.
Are you sure about that? Compression is down to the engine not the exhaust

a faulty exhaust gasket can force exhaust gases into your engine's cooling system, causing it to overheat
Only the headgasket can do this and it has bugger all to do with the exhaust

Upon looking to see the gasket text "amendment" I found this gem

A turbocharger is a kind of supercharger for car engines. It is in essence a gas compressor that increases the density of air entering the engine to create more power. The turbocharger is a clever design innovation in that it is driven by the engine's own exhaust gases. The turbocharger usually sits on the front of the main engine block and has its own chamber in which the gasses are compressed. Because of the immense pressures and strains placed on turbochargers, it is important to only fit high quality turbochargersto your car
A turbocharger is a turbocharger and a supercharger is a supercharger. The end result is the same but they are 2 very different things.

ECP should hang their heads in shame as it look sterrible for a company with such a profile to be spouting such total crap! This smacks to high heaven of a cost cutting excercise and the website being put together outside of the UK.

I eagerly await a response?
