8v GTi exhaust/manifolds

[matty1664]

Cool, I don't want to go absolutely mental on mods, just want my mk2 to be a bit more special than a standard 8v really and have a bit more poke.

Ref exhaust, to be fair the standard one doesn't sound too bad, has a nice little bark. If the standard manifold and exhaust is good enough then I'm more than happy with that, saves a lot of money plus less likely for anyone to notice I have a mod. Win win!

if your after a little noise out of exhaust you could allways replace the centre silencer with a straight through one. like the one below the gearstick.

I'm running a 90 8v with port polish, piper cam, wossner pistons and piper cross panel filter. It makes a decent gain and have had the exhaust tracts widened also just I case I go down the manifold route. It does embarrass a few boy racers in their mk4's, zetec fiestas, ds3's (birds car IMO) and will give the fiesta st a good race. However the 8v is not a fast car, quick, but not fast. It's more to be admired as a beautiful work of art

ive got a mk2 vr6 and just fitted a jetex + de-cat, it has a deep sound and feels like its got more low down power but dont feel alot different TBH. thats coming from a standard system. i just wanted something thats going to last.

it slots together very nice and does sit very nice out the back.

no im not posting pics

I think people know what a jetex exhaust looks like from the rear

Quick question:

After the cylinder head has been polished and ported do I need to do anything else or will the engine be able to handle all the extra air? Just wondering incase it doesn't release the extra fuel, don't want the engine to over heat! I don't suppose I need to do anyting with the fuel pump/injectors/ECU at all? I hope not 

Too much air and not enough fuel would be a recipe for disaster would it not?

Have you got Mong jet or Digi injection?
