Title: Exhaust system
Post by: Mark__GTI on 04 May 2007, 18:00

hey,
i am after an exhaust system for my mk1 cabrio gti,
does anyone know why the normal gti exhausts wont fit? is it just because the hangers are in a different place?
many thanks

I would advise on a Raceland manifold - which you can find on Ebay and get a Powerflow custom made middle and rear box, this is really a nice set-up and the noise has a nice tone....

Mk1 GTI exhaust will not fix unless you want to start cutting and welding which isn't worth it considering the custom set-ups you can get these days and the prices...

Have you looked at Jetex exhausts or call up GSF - they do VW standard ones - which are great quality and price..

I would call up Ian Birch at www.pipewerx.com custom exhausts - Ian knows more about VW's then most in this country and is well known for his skills - there was a 4 page review on his custom exhaust company in VW mag the other month - they know there stuff...

I am sure we discussed this in length in another thread about a year ago - so try search on this site as well..
