    Certainly looks easier to fit than the POTR one. More space for example, between pipes 2 and 3 to get to the blasted nut!

    Still not enough room to make it as easy as the standard manifold

    i thought i would state the obvious just to help. And the POTR isnt that hard to fit, aslong as you use the right bolts

    well to be precise its a combination of studs and nuts and allen key bolts so as to get in the gaps easier, as getting a socket or spanner is the gaps in pretty hard.

    That's not how Fiat did it though

    But that's what I mean, if you use stud and nuts, as Fiat did, on the manifold, that nut between pipes 2 and 3 is a pig to get to as you say. Looks easier to get to on the Solid-fab version.

    still dont think there will be enough room for a socket.

    Be interesting to see though

    That's meant to be a performance manifold?

    That section on the other manifold by the OP is a million times better, clear as night and day. Very suprised the POTR one is so poorly finished as that sort of 'bodge' is more than detremental to flow.
