Lol, what a comedy thread..........no idea why the "owner" would even be offended that it's a straight 6 rather than a V6........

i can't see why it should matter to him v6 or i6 he clearly has no mechanical expertise to notice any benefits of either engine

What does he mean the engine is covered in cladding and he cant see if its inline or V?????? means neither of them have a clue

Never done it myself, but can't you see the engine if you just take off the plastic engine cover?

TBH it's not difficult to see the manifold has 6 pipes on one side only. Maybe he's thinking the engine should be mounted the other way around perhaps or is getting confused with the IS250.
