ok I did buy a manifold and pipe, even spent some time and heat wrapped it, got to say for the money it looked well made its just that it did not fit

it does not meet the exhaust and is hard up against the car body, forcing it to join the exhaust, instead of hanging from the mounts it goes up and does not allow the exhaust to fit correctly at the rear of the car

The company I bought it from were useless and were unable to supply another one so I purchased a replacement from another supplier only to find out its the same, so I have concluded that these do not fit a 2.0 mk1 so I got it modified

First was to remove the tube that is not required

Then 50mm was removed from the pipe section, this has enabled it to fit, not perfect and will need more work, but good enough for now.
