    Sound great but expensive and heavier than the Supersprint race system that KamRacing sells at £62.
    
    Highly recommended as i have one

    Mk2's have their Oil Filters in a slightly different position so they stick out more...
    
    You will need to go for a manifold that was made for the car like Raceland's or just grab a Mk1 filter and kit for less than £10

    4'' over the top for a 1600 imo 3'' sounds about right
