    They are different. A standard mk2 one has the catalytic converter behind the radiator so easy to tell the difference.

    Depends on model year as there are 3 different R engines that were used over the production of the car!

    what you have there is a mk1 manifold and down pipe. you should have a cat underneath if using that mani and down pipe. look under the car see if you have a cat.

    I was told that mk1 would not fit my car ? and no the straight pipe goes form the manifold to backbox.

    The thing is with a saxo that has had no paper work with it you know that it has been thrashed so i want to get it running right and before i start anything else. Also it had a few mods on when i got it. the only thing i am getting is some vtr alloys on tuseday as it has steel with trims at the mo. But got the alloys for £30 BARGIN l0l.
