with this in the description


IT REQUIRES EITHER PIPES WELDING TO IT TO CONVERT FROM OVAL PORTS TO ROUND ONES OR I HAVE SEEN PEOPLE USE RUBBER HOSES DIRECTLY ONTO THE END OF THE OVAL MANIFOLD PORTS.

would this work? im too tight to justify spending £200 on a new one since i know the price of metal LOL

bit of ally tube squashed in a vice works as a cheap alternative, and it actually produces a nice smooth change airflow wise.
