   This is driving me mad now, I've been looking at exhaust systems and manifolds for my car (it's a early 2000 VTR) and I can't quite get a grasp on what ones would fit...
   Some items say 99 - 03 Saxo VTR's, some say 96-00, some just say phase 1 or phase 2 etc etc.
   I know that the range I'm looking for is the 96-00, but does that mean that phase 1 VTR exhausts and manifolds will fit my car with no bother?
   Thanks for any help, and sorry if this is a retarded noob question

   I have a W reg mk 2 VTR although I believe it is a mk2 phase 1 as the cat is under the floor and exhaust systems for a mk1 vtr may fit a mk2 phase 1, someone may correct me on that though as I'm not 100% either so I wouldn't take that as your answer.

   Does this mean I can buy the MK1 4-2-1 manifolds and not worry about oil filter relocation?
   And does it mean that MK1 exhaust systems will fit?
   
   I just want to make sure 100% before I throw money into something that ends up not fitting!
   
   Thanks!
