These are diagrams taken from one of the exhaust manufacturers and helpfully shown on MrExhaust's website..

hey cheers for the info h8v but it was more the difference in dimensions I was after(if there is any) im guessing the later gti one would be the best flowing one??? also does anyone know if klarius are decent exhausts? as in sound/fit/flow and longitivity?

I have a full custom powerflow exhaust Knocking around in my shed. Came off some guys 8v track car.
-
The 8v will have a 2 inch bore, 16v 2.25 inch bore. Carb models and very early GTI had a different downpipe held on by clips with a manifold to match. If you want an 8v GTI exhaust, standard flows fairly well but make sure you get a decent brand like Bosal or Walker or even better, genuine if you can find one.

I was in gsf today and they have a bosal back box/unknown brand centre box and no front box :sad:. tempted to go for ss but its so darn expensive these days. reviews on jetex anyone? :smiley:
-
I think I have a gSf back box in my shed aswell as the custom powerflow. You can buy either off me if you want them.
-
The jetex fitment on my gl was shocking. Had to cut the mounts off and re attached for it to hang straight

cheers for the offer sgt but I would rather just source a brand new one locally. done a weld up on it for now so should do a couple months yet :grin:

yeah bosal and walker seem to be good makes but ideally I would like an Ernst like the one that's on it. as they sound nice and seem to last pretty well. my other mk2 has a genuine vw centre box with 1998 stamped on it so that's done well :shocked:. genuine would be pricey but they seem to last a long,long time.

new Ernst exhaust bought and fitted :smiley: should keep the old girl quiet for a few years :laugh:

damn! 5years :shocked: and still no sign of leakage :cool:
