GTI exhausts.

Will a 16v fit a 8v? I assume the 16v is more free flowing?

Cheers

Is the downpipe to mid section flange the same?

yep as the waynster says downpipe is different too, 16v bigger bore to match rest of system plus it got a wackin great resonator box on it. can fit 8v manifold to 16v downpipe and vice versa tho

Jusy to refresh this if i go for a 8v manifold and 16v downpipe it will all bolt up to the 16v system fine? Also i take it its more free flowing than a 8v system? Thanks chaps, my SS exhaust is starting to piss me off  :grin:
