   Yes it will & it`ll de-cat your exhaust in the process mate.

   you could possibly need to relocate the oil filter though

   If you mean the standard mk1 exhaust then yes it will fit but need to relocate the oil filter, aftermarket manifolds may or may not foul the filter depends which one..

    Remove original oil filter housing from the block then you need to tap the oil return hole with an m10 tap and block it up with an m10 bolt, you then need the threaded insert to screw into the block for the metal type filter to fit onto.. I think thats all but there is a guide on here somewhere if you have a search
