That's very good of you to arrange this bud, especially considering you've already got yourself one... Unless you're getting money back dependant on the success ... If so, good for you
Afraid I can't be a name down, but I'm just wondering whether there's any chance you can get the deadline put back? That's an amazing price for what is potentially a great manifold, but what with my groupbuy for the Innovative bits and bobs being quite a pricey one and the payment deadline being 1st November, I wonder whether a few potential interestees may not put their name down as they're already committed to parting with a shed load of money that month on their Innovative goodies (Or even worse, they may be tempted to pull out of the Innovative, which could completely screw things up )
I'm hoping no-one takes any insult from me suggesting that, but I can easily imagine some of guys involved in the Innovative groupbuy also being interested in this, and if this groupbuy deadline was put back just one month, or even just 16 days, then the chances are you'll more easily get your 15 names
Hope you don't mind me suggesting it

Re: Hytech replica Groupbuy
im guessing the length of your exhaust will need to be altered and its not direct fit ?

It's worth pointing out they claim the cross member needs no fettling but...I found this...

Cut and grind....I also read the ground clearance might be an issue too...(especially if your lowered already)
Are there any fitted pics yet ?

Mine was tighter than Jimmy Saville's girlfriend, although it is a slightly different design as all four pipes come down together.
Rich @ PA trimmed some metal somewhere around the bottom of the engine as it was knocking which solved it.
Also, my 4-2 part had springs to pull it together and these didn't hold it together tight enough as the little flaps that the springs attached to would bend. This was causing a rattle under acceleration where they pulled apart and Rich solved this with a spot weld. The one posted above looks like there are bolts to join it, rather than springs.
It was knocking at the bottom on the left hand side, you can see how it tight it is on that side in this picture.
Ground clearance is OK, but mine isn't lowered.
So not much help really as it is a different car and different design exhaust. None the less, it is FOOKING AWESOME and was worth the little bit of effort needed to make it fit.
