    Hi guys recently i purchased a standard exhaust for my 08 blade on here,but the port that slides onto manifold is huge so basically doesnt fit. Did the later blades have a larger manifold and exhaust bore?

    think it might be 60mm on 14 plate, early models are 50mm I think
    headers are the same tho

    Seems you've worked it out now, but my recollection is that they changed with the 2012 version which was an upgrade over the 2008 - 2011s.

    I sure hope you won't have a problem getting them changed.

    14 plate onward headers also have the cat and O2 sensor in them.

    Sorry scrap that the hole is for flapper wire i guess. There is no 02 sensor where it should be so confirms its the wrong can. All sorted now, thanks gents.

    Sorry Lifeofriley,
    Its the problem of having so many blades over the years. Ive hopefully sent the correct exhaust, free of charge.
    The cable is attached on this exhaust, so no hole, yes it is for the flapper wire.
    Sorry for the Grrr.
