4-2-1 Manifold question

Has anyone got a picture installed of one of these, I am planning to buy one and it baffles me as on ebay when you look at it, you cannot see where the lambda goes, also will it be linked to the bendy joint or will it stretch and bend straight right back into the cat?
Any advise on manifolds would be appreciated.
Thanks
Alex

usaly you'll have to get the extra bit of pipe welded to your cat, and the is a replacment for your flexi joint.

correct, and in that piece of pipe is a spot in place to screw your lambda in

my lambda setting goes near the bottom. its hard to explain but dead simple. you have to extent the cable on the lambda swith thow so its not dead easy. ill take a picture of mine for ya. to be honest i wouldnt expect a lot of performance increase eitha. its just worth the sound

okayy. hers a few pictures of myn for ya to try and explain where it goess...
this is what they look like. bearing in mind it was chrome..
this is. if you look at the top of the mage above. it goes down the back of the enginee, and in the middle of the picture you can just see the lambda switch. and you can see how far the cable has strettchd.
this is from undernear the car. where the manifold joins the the other piping, you can see the switch sticking out to the left.
hope it helps. if not im also selling my manifold in about 3 days and ill give you my switch and connection. so all you gota do is unplugg your old one and plugg this one in. andd it has passed the MOT with it on

I got the manifolds, how did you align the washers, bolts & spring, such as in what order?
Also were your cat and manifold joint meet I can see a clamp, so is it
1) slotted it and tightened with a clamp
2) have you cut down the pipe and used a sleeve
3) braided together
Also what are the gains?
