I didn't know that vw do a reducer but i know for sure Jetex do

Edit: having said that, i forgot that jetex 16v systems have a 2.5" bore rather than the vw 2.25" so i'm not too sure it would work with a standard system  :undecided:

Typical I can't find the post now but I think it was "Gambit" who said there was one. Can't be 100% sure.

I'm not convinced that is the case, and going by NB: THIS DOES NOT WORK AS A REDUCER PIPE!!! i don't think Gambit is either!

Just out of interest, what exhaust are you trying to fit, standard or aftermarket? If its an aftermarket system, what make?

Ah ok, i'm not too sure about piper but with scorpian systems it is only the front silencer that is 8v/16v specific and after that both systems are the same bore. May be worth looking into for the piper?
