   Only way i can think is to swap it for an older vtr manifold leaving you with a de-cated saxo!

   So Change the whole manifold to Mk1 Manifold? Is there no way i can just detach the Cat and Hav a Pipe instead?

   Hmm if you get a raceland 4-2-1 you have to relocate the oil filter to MK1 fitment?

   what if you fitted a diffrent make manifold is it just the raceland you need to relocate the oil filter

    i think it was about sleaving the second lambda tbh makes the engine waring liht come on. and yeah with the raceland 1 you do have to relocte the oil filter but you culd buy a supersprint were you wouldnt to but you said you dont wanna buy an expensive one as your selling your car so the supersprint is no good for you as your lookin at 260 inc vat and delivery. i would say your cheapest option would be to fit a mk1 mani but unsure if there the same fitment as the mk2s. hope that helps a little

    I would not decat your sax, it´s gonna be loosing something if u don´t trick the lambda!
    if u don´t care I would take the last part of the manifold of the old one´s...

    as above the manifold from a mark 1 wil do the trick
    you wont need to relocate the filter this way either

    would this give the same gains as a raceland etc?

    No, And i think that all aftermarket mani's require moving of the oil filter, other than supersprint ones; but they cost a bomb! Best bet is to get a mk1 mani.

    Piper and GMC also do manifolds which clear the oil filter. Richie2104VTR has a GMC for sale - check his thread.

    Not being funny but if your selling the car soon why would you want to spend anymore on doing mods to it? Your just gonna have to swop it back when you sell it on
