it was done at carline mufflers, so i would assume so. but i will ring to ask as the gasket that was on it was only 4 weeks old anyway.

i was told that this sometimes happens with extractors cause there metal. and the old manifold absorbed the noise cause it was cast. anyway im goin out to see the place that fitted them to see wat they say. thanks again people. its good to know that there is a place you can go to to ask all your queries and get decent answers. cheers
