right i have just bought a 306 2.0 4 branch manifold and guess what it didn't fit and is never going to fit on my 1.6 engine had i seen the size of the thing and the layout of it properly i would never have bothered buying it but hey ho. my question is simple can i get a 4 branch manifold for my 1.6 306 and if so would someone be able to tell me where and roughly how much it going to cost. and if anyone does need a 4 branch manifold for a gti 6 then i do have one for sale so pm me for details i will be putting it up on the for sale section as well.
hope someone can help with my problem cheers.

got a pic of the '6 mani?
I don't believe they make one for the 1.6 but you could buy one for a saxo vtr and customise it to fit, i believe they go the opposite way under/over the subframe to a 306

As above, you'll need to get a Saxo/106 one and weld in the down pipe

The original pipe that goes from your current manifold to cat will need cuttin and welding to the tubular manifold of a Saxo, normally under the sump area due to it being a 4-2-1 manifold

Yup pretty much, just got to make sure you get it in line otherwise it causes the cat/centre pipe to knock

You've got to weld one to the other under the sump, when I did one for a friend we fitted everything after much measuring, and cutting to the right length marked it all up took it off then welded in a flex piece.
It's not hard to do but a bit time consuming to get it right
Rep's in the users profile page I think.
