Exhaust help - Reducer/Sleeve Question?

[GOLF-MK3-GTI]

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.

if it's cat back it will slot straight on (both outlet's from the cat are 55mm)

Yes it's cat back. Thanks for the info boney.

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.

2.5" is not 55mm

Damn, it's 63.5mm

True, but it'll do

For sure, it's a good bit of kit

Does the exhaust have the middle mounts on the mid silencer my stainless steel one I bought had this and it wouldn't fit my 8v

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