Bare in mind mk3's run skinny back boxes if you've got a chunky one will be a struggle to get fitted properly, my back box was universal fit and was a right pig to get fitted.

You can and will struggle with space.

Space is a issue and also dunno if 8v's are the same as 16v but the angle at which the mid box pipe comes up to the back box is pretty awkward aswell
