What are the pros/cons with regarding stainless steel exhaust systems, mainly the LCB. I know they don't rust, which is a BIG plus because in my area you can't get anywhere without going over stuupid bumps and the bottom of the exhaust always scrapes now and then. They do look awesom aswel! here is a piccy taken off the japan website, (i kno nobody looks under ur car, but if u kno it is there then that is all that matters)
Also where can you get them from for the MPI with the Lambda sensor hole.
LCB for MPi are they worth it?

maniflow and most of the big companys do them with the hole to screw in the sensor
unless you engine is tuned you won't really see a difference the standard manifold is pretty good on the mpi engines
the manifolds don't rot as fast as the rest of the exhaust because of the heat slows down the rusting
and i think you flashed me to day by the m69 island i was in a 76 red mini on my way to hinckley

I agree with Scurvy Dog, you won't really notice it on the MPI as the standard cast manifold is actually fairly good. And since the ECU is very much in control of the power output you would probably need to get the map modified to get the best out of an LCB (just like you would need to tune the fuelling and igntion on a carb'd car to get the best out of one). The other thing is that you really need the heat shield which fits over the manifold to prevent the sensors and heaters melting and the fuel over heating and I'm not sure if you could still fit it to a tubular manifold.

YES!i remember you, i was just coming off round devils corner - seriously slippy in the wet, loads of people always spin off there! cool
It is going to be midly tuned, i am getting a new cylinder head, 52mm throttle body, 1.5.1 rockers, ported and polished inlet manifold, de-cat and i thought it would complement working with them?
