For what its worth I have one of those 'cheaper' stainless manifolds and it all lines up just as it should. If you could ask your mechanic friend what needs to be done to remove the EGR valve and pipe that would be good.

OK removed the EGR valve today.... Very simple job. First - just fully remove the pipe. I've kept the nuts and will make a blanking plate out of a small piece of alluminium using the end of the pipe as a pattern. Next you just remove the EGR Valve and vacum system. Just two bolts. Again I'll just make a small blanking plate and get some new shorter bolts. Again I'll just make a small blanking plate and get some new shorter bolts. Finally I just need to get some rubber caps to blank off where the rubber vacum hoses is connected ( Pipe with blue dashes on it ) and its job done. The valve and electrics all removed. John as you have stated your exhaust fits very well, can you please tell me which seller you got it from as I need one ;D Cheers Chris

Hi Chris, Sorry I haven't posted the pictures yet, been so busy!!! Any how I got my manifold from 1stcarparts on eBay. All I would suggest is if you buy one then check it as soon as it arrives. Cheers for posting the removal pictures, good work.
