   Hi.
   
   Ive seen alot of people talking about de-catting a mk2 by putting a mk1 downpipe on and then moving the oil filter so it doesnt fowl...
   
   But havent seen anyone actually do it.
   
   Is it all thats needed... moving the oil filter / converting to a mk1 oil filter?

   u need the whole manifold m8 as the mk2 is a wider join caus of the cat
   shouldnt be 2 expensive £20-50 maybe.
   prices and code for filter and insert from citreon are
   The Oil Filter Insert - 1103A7 @ £2.07 excl VAT
   The MK1 Oil Filter - 1109N3 @ £2.95 excl VAT
   just incase you need them

   Is it a job i could do with some ramps and tools?
   
   Or needs more of a garage help?
   
   Edit: If i went to scrap yard... what does the whole manifold include?
   
   The 4 part bit and then the downpipe? Is that all i need?
   
   Oh and does it matter what model of saxo the manifold is from?

   ye the 4 part bit, and the downpipe, wouldnt reall entail a garage,
   could do it your self easy enough,
   take existing manifold off, take existing filter and filter bracket off.
   replace filter with new one and filter insert
   fit mk1 manifold,

   Sounds like a project
   
   Is it possible to hammerite the manifold? So it looks pretty?
   
   Or will it just like melt?

   heat spray would be fine, um not sure about mk2 manifold with relocated filter, nt sure on the clearance issues with cat in manifold.
