   If you willing to up your price a little bit then go for this dude.. http://www.kamracing.co.uk/index.php...n-saxo-8v.html
   
   The Raceland Stainless Steel Exhaust Manifold is our budget exhaust manifold for the 8v engines on the Citroen Saxo.
   
   This Raceland manifold is designed for use with the Mk1 models with the oil filter on the block. To fit to a Mk2 Saxo / 106 (remote oil filter) you will need to convert to a Mk1 oil filter and will need the following parts:
   
   1.Oil filter insert - Citroen part number 1103A7
   2.Mk1 Oil Filter - Citroen part number 1109N3
   3.M10 Tap
   4.M10 Screw (to block oil return hole)
   
   If you do not want to modify the oil filter for fitment onto the Mk2 8v, Raceland make a 4-1 manifold that will fit straight on
   
   The Raceland 4-2-1 exhaust manifold offers increased performance over the OEM manifold and downpipe. When comparing cost vs performance the Raceland manifold is second to none! Raceland Stainless Steel 4-2-1 Manifolds are built with laser cut flanges, high quality T409NG stainless steel and mainly utilise mandrel bends to optimise the flow
   
   All Raceland Manifolds have a 5 year warranty against manufacturer defects.
   
   Due to the budget nature of this Manifold some alterations may be needed to successfully fit your car. More expensive manifolds such as the Supersprint 4-2-1 and the Piper 4-1 Exhaust Manifolds offer superior build quality. Kam Racing cannot be held responsible for any additional fitting costs you may incur.

   Im sure the piper and supersprint 4-2-1 just miss the mk2 oil filter but with the heat it just melts the filter

    Supersprint manifold is the way forward, such a straight forward fit, takes no time at all to change really.

    your talking about the 4-1 raceland manifold, which has already been mentioned your confusing people becasue they are thinking your saying you can get a raceland 4-2-1 that fits mk2's with no modification which doesnt exist

    You will need to change to a MK1 oil filter set up with a 4-2-1 Manifold, proven fact I'm afraid.

    i dont wanna start an arguement but you cant get raceland 4-2-1's which fit straight to the mk2's, yes they bolt on but it wont miss the oil filter, will have to be changed to the mk1 oil filter

    you can a raceland manifold that fits the mk2 that misses the oil filter,you can get them from kam racing,think they are close to £200 but atleast you wont have to convert your oil filter to the mk1 type.

    even cheaper way is to take it off, take the insides of the cat out and put it back on, simples

    Those two do miss the filter but yeah they do still sit very close to it and can melt the housing. Iv got the supersprint 421 which I heatwrapped to stop any melting issues and it works perfectly. Much better quality than the raceland aswell but you are paying for it I guess.
