No. Different diameters and different manifolds. It is possible but its not a straight swap

manifolds are totally different, bolt pattern on an 8v is straight and on 16v is offset.

A 16v downpipe will bolt directly to an 8v manifold & vice-versa though!  Other difference is 8v system is 2" and 16v is 2.5", and the 16v downpipe has an extra silencer built in :)
