Title: Exhaust help - Reducer/Sleeve Question?
Post by: GOLF-MK3-GTI on 08 November 2013, 15:16

So i own  a Golf MK3 GTI 8V. I have an Jetex Exahust which was removed from a MK3 16V. Bought it off Khare.

Am i right in thinking that the standard exhaust size on the 8V were 2" (50MM) and on the 16V they were 2.5" (55MM).
The question is, i need a reducer/sleeve to mount the 2.5" exhaust on the 2". How long should the reducer/sleeve pipe itself be?

Thanks.  :wink:

I was thinking of buying that. But I came to the conclusion that for an extra £160 I would rather get a brand new one with fitting.

I'll have to check, but from memory I think no, it hasn't got middle mounts on middle box.
