just wondering if an 8v exhaust (back-box) will fit directly into a 16v?

16v has a bigger bore!

If you did fit it with a reducer then you could lose power due to the back pressure.

well...
will a back box off an 8v GTI directly fit on a 8v 1.6GL?

Not sure, I think the 1.8 is the same however you could get a reducer.
