Post by: Andy on January 06, 2013, 07:15:07 pm: people normally get the gti one as its easy to get hold of but you will need a adaptor to make it fit

Title: Re: exhaust
Post by: Andy on January 06, 2013, 09:19:27 pm: a different bore size that's all-just need to change the rear valance
Title: Re: exhaust
Post by: biglad65 on January 06, 2013, 09:23:08 pm: sorry but not any good at this thanks for your time but when you say bore is that the joint to connect to existing pipe

Post by: Andy on January 06, 2013, 09:26:41 pm: one of the exhaust pipes is smaller so you need a garage to make you a piece of pipe that fits your car and the gti back box

Post by: skard on January 24, 2013, 04:49:30 pm: When I cut mine I cut it about 15" from the backbox to remove the centre box and ordered a reducer sleeve off ebay, so it looked like this a bit...!

Post by: biglad65 on January 24, 2013, 04:53:30 pm: right who did you order reducer off and do you know size thanks

Post by: skard on January 24, 2013, 04:59:47 pm: It was a long time back but they still do them...

You want a sleeve with an inner diamater of about 65.5mm on one side (for a GTI exhaust) and ~51mm inner diamater on the other (for a 1.9tdi).

These are not perfect long term due to mixing of steel qualities.

A backstreet exhaust place would do all this for not a lot of money either.
