this anygood? (finishes soon - need answer!)

[Emma_ZS]

I have seen this and i was wondering whether it would fit my 1.4 furio? Also is it a standard one chromed or a performance one?

I only have a standard exhaust system apart from a magnex backbox, does this matter?

Will i have to change it back for MOT?

i dont really understand manifolds what would be the difference with a 4-2-1 rather than a what ever the standard is 4-1 ?

they give different gains to low/midrang/top end.

search theres tons of info on it

[Ryan]

no its not a standard one

[Baz]

off topic but i dont care.

hmmm, your lucky i gave you good rep the other day Mister!

[Emma_ZS]

hey stop spamming :P

[Ryan]

hmmm, your lucky i gave you good rep the other day Mister!

it got removed when the thread was deleted :(

so you can love me more now :homme:

[Ryan]

*back on topic*

and you wont have to change it back for an mot. the cat should be under the car on your car, so you will not effect emissions

[Baz]

it got removed when the thread was deleted :(

so you can love me more now :homme:

the rep points etc actually stay though ;)

enough of spammage anyway, if you can get it cheap enough Emma i would say buy it, but you will need to move the oil filter for a MK1 one? if your cats in the mani, which i assume it will be

[Emma_ZS]

lol i am confused lol i have a mk2 saxo, will it be a straight fit? I have only got a standard exhaust piping thingie until the magnex backbox

[Ryan]

email the seller and ask if its a raceland.

personally if it is i wouldnt get it, as its near £50 atm plus £20 PP.

i expect it will go up a bit more to, so its not much of a saving on a new one tbh.

although are you a bit skint and trying to just have a bit of fun with the car on the cheap?

[Emma_ZS]

no lol i aint skint

will it just connect to my standard piping then under my car? will this do any damage?

How much is a new one, to fit my car?

[Baz]

some MK2 have CAT under the car some have it in the mani, dependant on year. Where is yours? If its in the manifold isn't there only the GMC that will fit a MK2 without moving the oil filter?

[Ryan]

can you check for me if your cat is under the car please?

im not 100% on furios?

if it is under the car it should fit fine, for the exhaust, but as baz says may need to change the oil filter.

[Baz]

if your car is late 2000 or later like mine, CAT will be in manifold

[Baz]

just had quick look at your engine bay, your CAT is under the car, so it will be a straight fit, without moving oil filter

[Emma_ZS]

errrmmm . . . what is a CAT? what do i look for?

sorry i dont have a clue

EDIT: just seen your post, so racelands will fit mine?

[Ryan]

im lucky im early 2000, i get the non gay front end and the non gay cat :P

[Emma_ZS]

What price am i looking at for a new one? what one will fit mine? I have no clue about the 4-2-1 thingie sorry

[Ryan]

errrmmm . . . what is a CAT? what do i look for?

sorry i dont have a clue

baz has answered but the cat is like a box of ceramic that reduces the emissions.

if you look under your car where the manifold meets the exhaust (just behind nearr where the wheels are if your looking from above) there should be a box in the exhaust if you have a cat under the car.

[Ryan]

What price am i looking at for a new one? what one will fit mine? I have no clue about the 4-2-1 thingie sorry

irc about £130 new.

think kam racing sell them so check their website

[Emma_ZS]

thanks but i dont know what i am looking for and what will fit (4-2-1? wtf lol)

[Ryan]

thanks but i dont know what i am looking for and what will fit (4-2-1? wtf lol)

4-2-1 is the configuration.

look at the pipes in the ebay link.
theres 4. then 2, then they mould into one.

some go 4 then straight into 1

[Emma_ZS]

oh lol thanks for explaining that

[Baz]

Basically:

A 4-2-1 offers more power in your lower revs and a 4-1 offers more power higher up

so upto you what your after, if you care lol

[Emma_ZS]

Oh i get you, i think i would want more power in lower revs or maybe higher? mmmmmm i dont know lol

What do most people go for?

[Ryan]

so mine is a 4-2-1 then?

the one posted in the ebay link is.

standard us just a pap 4-1

[Emma_ZS]

I notice that on Kamracing tey only sell maifolds for VTR or VTS though, so which do i get?

[Baz]

get a VTR one

[Baz]

the one on ebay (from pics on Kamracing) looks like a supersprint manifold

[Ryan]

if its a supersprint get it! its a bargain!

[Barkham]

will you actually notice the difference on a 1.4?

[Emma_ZS]

thanks but it has a reserve though

[Emma_ZS]

will you actually notice the difference on a 1.4?

good point

[Ryan]

it will increase the noise, and give a few gains but not alot tbh

[Baz]

One on ebay:

Supersprint:

[Emma_ZS]

how do you know the difference?

[Ryan]

yes welding is different and so is the collector, the 2 part is longer on the supersprint

[Emma_ZS]

the one off ebay looks like a raceland then?

[Barkham]

so is it kinda for show aswell or just performance? looks like moden art lol

[Ryan]

from the pics baz showed looks more supersprint.

ask the seller

[Emma_ZS]

i have :P

[Baz]

i have :P

just sit and wait then, though i'll bank he says he doesn't know

[Emma_ZS]

lol but either way, it will fit?

[Baz]

lol but either way, it will fit?

yeah aslong as its from a vtr

[Ryan]

it looks like it should. and as stated is for the 8v head pattern

[Emma_ZS]

well it says "will fit most 8v engine"

[Emma_ZS]

I asked: "Is it a raceland?"

I have a message back: "I am almost certain it is a supersprint"

[Baz]

get it snapped up then, they are over £250 new

[Emma_ZS]

i have asked about his reserve

[Baz]

i can see his reserve being over £170

[Emma_ZS]

i know lol, i might just buy a full system then a manifold

[Emma_ZS]

reserve £130!

[Baz]

i'd just say make a last minute £150 bid and see what happens, at £150 you can't go wrong for a near new manifold that retails at over £250

[Emma_ZS]

mmm i don't know lol.

Will it definately fit?

Its my brothers paypal :P

[Baz]

if it doesn't then just sell it back on, someone would buy it.

though i'd say it will fit right on!
