Title: 1.6 exhaust size 42mm bore?
Post by: nathanpotato on 03 May 2011, 13:27

I found that the 16v should be 55mm but can find the size of my 1.6 does anybody know?
After measuring it I think its 42mm can anybody confirm this?

Cheers

Cheers

Thanks I was looking at the clamp ones they do I just can’t find for sure what size the 1.6 is, 43mm sounds about right though since I measured 42 but wasn’t that accurate.
