   no difference at all, only thing is, if its the 98bhp VTR you have, you will need to re-locate the oil filter for it to fit properly if your car is silvertop which is X reg or earlier, then you won't need to move a thing

   the only thing i can see that is going to cause a problem is my lambda sensor is on the right hand side but i cant see one in the picture.

   I have a 2001 VTR with the cat under the car. So if the cat is under the car the oil filter doesnt need re locating? Also what are people opinions of Raceland manifolds?

    i have a Raceland on mine (pic below), not very similar imo! but if its had parts welded i wouldn't pay more than £30 topps for it, as its on it way out imo
