1.6 exhaust size 42mm bore?
« on: 03 May 2011, 13:27 »
I found that the 16v should be 55mm but can find the size of my 1.6 does anybody know?
After measuring it I think its 42mm can anybody confirm this?

Cheers

Ha ha I keep thinking I’ve got a reply only to find its more laughs at my expense  :wink:
Anyway I found that the 16v should be 2.25" but can find the size of my 1.6 does anybody know?
If not anyway I could measure it with it still on the car?
