Exhaust Question - Need Info

[MK4D4VE]

Hi all

I am desperately after a second hand standard exhaust for my VR6, however they seem to be pretty sparse! Can anyone advise if the GTI exhaust will fit?

It is a 1995 VR6.

Thanks

The 16v midbox and backbox will fit, but the 8v won't unless you get the midpipe with it too. The 8v pipes are 5mm smaller in diameter though.

Thanks for the response.

Basically, i have a downpipe, but from there i need it all, CAT and the rest? Could i get a whole 16v setup to do the job? Or if i use a VR6 CAT, could i then use the 16v stuff after that?

Thanks

The cat is the same for the 8v, 16v and VR6 so yes, any full system from any of these models will fit as long as you don't mix bits of 8v midpipe/midbox/backbox with 16v/VR6 midpipe/midbox/backbox.

the cats are different.

yup, cats are different. if i remember correctly 8v is a ceramic one, 16v and vr are metal carriers...

Oh really? My bad! Are they the same size though?

[tweed]

Same size pipe but the element size is different.

Do you think a 1.4 cat would need to be same size as a 2.0?
So then its the same for the 2.0 and the 2.8 I think you would struggle with emissions if you put a 2.0 cat on a vr6

[spikenipple]

Yeah that makes sense, I hadn't thought of that!

So the cat aside, does a gti cat back system fit the vr6?
