   Hi guys,
   
   Just a thought as a cheap alternative to a decat manifold. I know it wont be as effective, but would it fit with mk2 oil filter and increase performance?
   
   The idea was to fit a standard phase 1 manifold and a decat pipe on my phase 2 vtr.
   
   Any thoughts?

   If it's a standard mani then no performance increase as you don't say which make of mani.

   I did say, standard phase 1 manifold Stevo! Just enables me to use a decat pipe.

   Youll need to move the oil filter as the mk1 mani fouls the plastic housing

   I heard the standard mk1 manifold clears it, could well be wrong though....
