   Bit random, but can anyone advise of what tools/ size spanners i'll need to do this. I will have to get them on way home from work and have no way at this moment in checking. Any helo or link to a guide will be much appreciated.

   iirc the mani nuts are 13mm. not sure on underfloor cat size.
   
   a decent socket set will be fine.

   I'm sure standard mani-cat bolts are 13mm oneside and 10mm the other

   Ok cool, well im replacing the standard mani-cat ( MKII VtR) manifold, for a 4-2-1. So i would assume that the heatshield on the standard mani is 10mm too?

   Just keep a 13mm and a 10mm spanner in your glovebox and a torx bit set and you'll be ready to take a whole saxo apart prertty much.

   Just buy a standard spanner set, will cover almost everything on the saxo .
