Subject:Re: Using gas inline 4 manifold

I used an Audi Fox dual outlet manifold and down pipe for the perfect fit.
The VW Fox is almost the same thing.  There is a special tool for removing
the "C" clips.  Just a note, that this 4 > 1 manifolds are the worse
flowing of all the I4 designs that VW made.  You can use a series of wedges
to remove it but I would stongly suggest getting a dual outlet manilf with
theh 12mm copper nuts.
