Maybe it's me but shouldn't a duplex (or quad) exhaust be the territory of a V8. Just as MG / Rover designed it to be?

There is a reason the O/S heat shields are made out of unobtanium

I enquired about getting some done, and they have not got the tooling to press, and would have to be machined out of aluminium billet, and cost was going to be around £200 each for a minimum of 10

I'm after one of these as well, they are indeed rocking horse poo.

I've a 1.8T pushing 204bhp and I may be looking at getting some forging done to permit a bigger turbo. See if I can beat the V8
