I have the Works Exhaust and stock manifold. I've purchased a GTT manifold, how long should it take a professional to fit this item, supplied with new gaskets?

I would not expect it to be much more than 1 hr providing the car is cold. Does that seem about right?

Any feedback would be greatly appreciated

Cheers,

Andy

I've seen experienced mechanics mount my MTH manifold in 1 hour including removing top strut bar and installing new software. So 4 hours is including a lot of coffee breaks.

Mostly one was working on it, the other on only assist when mounting it.

Yes I think 1-1.5 hours is fair.

Thanks Roland.

I've had quotes of over £100.00 for fitting which I thought were a little excessive.
