Hi, I'm about to collect a 4 branch exhaust manifold from a mk1 1.8 8v. Will it fit my 86 1.8 8v GTX?
Thanks in advance

if it hasn't got one, fit a flexy joint between the four branch and the centre box, otherwise you WILL end up eventually with a cracked manifold unless you have used mega solid poly engine mounts (which cause rattling everywhere as the engine doesn't move as its meant to on the OEM mounts).
heat shield the steering boot too.
