   different.
   s14 is like this: (forgive the crap 'letter O diagram')
   
   -------O---O--------------O---O
   
   O---------------O--O---------------O
   
   
   saxo like this
   
   O-----------O----O----------O
   
   ----O----O----------O----O

   I've read that you need to just cut the flange offf the s14 mani and weld the saxo flange on.
   
   Just want some further info as I don't fancy wasting my money if I get one

   I will add you cant flip it over, spacing is different.
   Well, if your gunna make that effort, you may as well just make a custom mani.
   
   Would imagine the pipe spacing is different.

   Not that much rob,if you're a welder as you are, it'll be a doddle mate
   
   It's not a great fit, but can be done pretty easily if you've a got a decent welder on hand

   Biggest issue you have is that they're always really cheap shitty stainless
   
   
   You'd be better off making your own,
   
   Need to bend/bridge two of the primaries, the other two aren't too far away iirc, but as above ^^

   Thanks for the input, yes I have a tig which I can use but just trying to find a lazy way to get the manifold done.
   
   Will have a think about using the s14 manifold but will no doubt start from scratch and avoid the stupidly cheap prices of those manifolds, get for what you pay for I suppose
