   Hey my furio is a mk2, well it's got a mk2 front end and is on a V plate but my engine has the underfloor cat and mk1 style filter. It's annoying as I've been looking for a four branch manifold and obv been looking for a mk2 one and just realised I've not needed too. Anyway just wondering if early mk2s still had these or has it been played with by previous owner?

   you've probably got a mk1 1plug engine so would need a mk1 manifold

   Just to say, my 1999 had mk2 front struts w/bearings and tapered shafts so be careful if you are buying new driveshafts and so on. Seems they just used whatever was to hand

    easy way to tell is if the driveshaft is tapered at the end before the splines that go into the hub. It also uses a larger hub nut, the mk1 hub nut is slimmer in depth.
