Post by: tobybrennan on 31 May 2009, 20:16

Different bore sizes, by a long way. The VR6 is bigger than the 8v gti, the 8v gti is bigger than the 1.6gl.

Would need a reducer sleeve to fit it, but im not sure if they make one for that big a reduction of the shelf.

Theres 2 reducers on this page, but im not sure which one you want, as i dont know the width of the exhausts on a VR6, GTI and GL.

its only a back box. not a full system:)

yeah, can still use a reducer.

Just take it to a exhaust place, and get them to make up a sleeve?

not sure how much it'd be, and they'd know what i need:)

No he has a 1.6 and the exhaust he's bidding on is for a GTI  :lipsrsealed: You selfpwned yourself lol!


I will say Toby that the backbox I have for my 1.8 GL was for a 16v GTI, different bore sizes, however they made it fit, don't even think they used a sleeve, just exhaust putty or something :)

Performance 3000 in Yeovil, they specialize in modding cars etc, I wouldn't say it was a normal garage, but take it somewhere that does that kind of thing :)
