   Hi sax-p community im wanting to get a full stainless steel exhaust system for my 2000 saxo vtr but im not sure what to get so im wanting your help...i was thinking of getting a piper system with a 3" or a 3.5" backbox as ive heard videos of them and they sound quite sweet.
   Is their a certain make de cat i should get or are they pretty much all the same?
   I want a manifold aswell and quite like the idea of a piper one but their quite pricey so i was thinking along the lines of a raceland or something like that...is their any difference between brands are not?...also should i get a 4-2-1 or a 4-1 manifold?...all the engine has right now is an induction kit.
   Cheers to all who reply :-)

   raceland 4-2-1 are the cheapest, good for the money.
   Piper exhaust would be very nice
   Have a look through kam-racing.co.uk

   i was thinking about the raceland manifold...does anyone know where i can get a stainless steel one for a mk2 saxo?...cos havent they changed the design so you dnt have to move the oil filter or something?

   im pretty sure they only make one raceland 4-2-1 manifold, on kams website they only sell one, but they tell you what you need to fit it to mk2's including citroen part numbers

   you can get manifolds where you dont have to move the oil filter but these are usually more expense brands, as raceland is made for people on a budget therefore you compromise on the quality, the raceland one i got on my mk1 vtr isn't a great fit i had to take out one of the head studs to get it to fit flush so if they cant make a manifold that fits properly they probably wont make a different one so you dont have to move your oil filter, but then again you might be right im only going by kams website
