Hi Guys need your help, as usual  :party:

Im planning on getting the lower R32 rear bumper for my GTi in the next week or so to replace my textured bumper, unfortunately im not able to afford that and a Milly or blamefame together so the question is if i get a standard R32 cat back from fleebay would it bolt on my existing exhaust?

Or would i need the whole cat back, DP etc?

Thanks in advance guys!!  :happy2:

I imagine that an R32 exhaust would look very different to a GTIs. A couple of reasons for this - R32 is a V6, so the whole front bit is different. Routing of the exhaust may be different to accomodate the different placing of the engine and lastly.. and this could cause you an issue, the R32 is of-course 4 wheel drive with a prop shaft running down the tranny tunnel and a haldex diff in the rear - so the R32 exhaust has to avoid those bits etc.

I think(!) and I could be wrong here, you'ld struggle to make an original R32 system fit a GTI without considerable welding and modification

If I were you I would wait until you have the bumper and the exhaust you want before fitting, saves hassle and some £££ :happy2:

Just wanna say, no prop-shaft just haldex, works on pressured oil.
haldex and diff under boot floor, boot floor shallower to accomadate them.
just lettin you guys know.
joe'n'topcat have R32 style set ups, so theyll know more

I'm curious to know how an R32 gets power to its rear wheels without a prop shaft from the front  :surprised:. The Haldex is just a clutch driven diff . Joe and Topcat have the R32 look GTI milly/blueflame.. i.e. this which is a normal Milltek GTI exhaust with a different tailpipe treatment and not an R32 rear box that just happens to be fitted to a GTI


If you stand behind an R32 and look underneath and then compare it with a GTI, its pretty different. The exhaust back box is smaller, it's more to the left and the link pipe to the central section doesn't exit and run down the left side of the car - it exits and appears to run down the right side of the car.
