differance between exhausts
« on: 17 January 2009, 20:03 »
hello all

want some more advice

i bought a second hand exhaust a few months ago which included a nearly new raceland 4 branch

the middle sections are walker , but the rear is a sebring 2 x square stainless item

BUT it is from a 16V car so it doesnt fit well

my question is this !

can i fit a 16V middle section to my raceland 4 branch as i really like the look of the backbox and dont want to change it?

what is the differances between systems ???

If you give up can I have the backbox - its the exact one I want!

Aside from that, of course you can get it to fit, with the right reducers, adaptors and welding rod, you can make anything fit. But I have absolutely no idea on what effect it would have on backpressure.

well i'd rather not cut and shut

just wondered if it will bolt straight onto the 4 branch , there is an adapter on it that changes the manifold from 2 bolt to 3 bolt  :undecided:

i'll keep you in mind for the back box  :wink: :wink:

I moddified a 8v Gti back box to fit my diesel. It was a easy job with an angle grinder and a welder. No problems at all.
