Title: JUST CLEANED WITH PICS,EXHAUST QUESTION?
Post by: j976rna on 09 January 2011, 09:26: Ididnt know wether to put this in the mk3 or mk4 section as its a bit of a mismatch,its mainly mk3 running gear so ill put it in here
Quick question about exhausts,ive been reading and get the general idea that mk3 exhausts are the same,mine is a 2.0 8 valve,ive just bought a full system,(obviously not the manifold or downpipe)which came off a vr6,so im guessing it should fit as its the whole thing im changing,does anyone know if this is correct? ive already lowered it with suspension off a vr6.

Post by: F17BAD on 09 January 2011, 12:06: should be in MK4 section that, its a 3.5 but body styling on the latter cabs is aimed at MK4, a for this reason the back box is not gonna fit your rear bumper

if it was a earlier cab with mk3 body styling then it would have fitted

i dont mind modifying the back bumper a bit,my mates got a mk3 cab and the actual shape of the exhaust looks the same,so hopefully ive only got to cut a bit out of the bumper

EDIT: Hidden; not hopped! f**king autocorrect!

Post by: Wayne on 10 January 2011, 09:40: VR6 susp is no good for a 8v car, will be doing nothing.

Also mk3 exhaust will be no good.
