Title: 8v back-box into a 16v?
Post by: av_golf on 01 June 2009, 22:13

just wondering if an 8v exhaust (back-box) will fit directly into a 16v?

If you did fit it with a reducer then you could lose power due to the back pressure.

will a back box off an 8v GTI directly fit on a 8v 1.6GL?

Not sure, I think the 1.8 is the same however you could get a reducer.
