Quick question,

 

Will my Maniflow manifold, that has the 9 and 10 hole pattern for XU9 & XU10, fit a GTi6 head?

[Anthony 1,003]

No.

Port spacing is different, Port shape and stud's too, You need one of these http://www.ebay.co.uk/itm/Peugeot-306-GTi-6-XSi-4-2-1-16v-Exhaust-Manifold-/350530428669?pt=UK_CarsParts_Vehicles_CarParts_SM&hash=item519d3ddefd, Just don;t look at the price

All I'll say is watch this space.

Why are most of this type of manifold not one piece flange and fully welded? Is it simply to aid installation?

[Cameron 16]

Pretty much, otherwise it's an engine-out job!

[Mad Scientist 106]

I don't like the idea of split flanges and springs holding it all together myself.

[Cameron 16]

Split flanges aren't really necessary unless it's a really confined space or there's something in the way that'd stop you fitting it in one go - like a steering column for example. Springs are brilliant as long as your slip-joins fit nice and snug, much better than using bolts which rattle and / or corrode and seize.
