Here is one on feebay - Item number: 4636417480

As for your comment regarding GLI not as much clout as GTI - I have one of each of these cabs and the GLI (1.8 version) is faster then the 1.8 GTI (due to better manifold and downpipe set-up) and has as much spec as the GTI - less power hood and windows, but these options are only on a few GTI's and not all of them from production...

All comes down to personal view regarding the GLi, GTI, Sportline, etc models of cabs...

For a real cheap cab you really want a 1.5GL but they are really rare these days.... - these where carb version as well.

four to two manifold - which is commonly known on the 82/83 mk1 GTI's have (6 bolts) with twin down pipes. The GLi is the early version of the GTI mk1's engines - later cabs GTI's have the crappie 4 to one with c clips...! I have no idea why they did this as the C clip 4 to 1 manifold leaks from the ring area - known issue with that manifold and C clips seem to give way after 18 months... I've just changed my GTI too the 6 bolt it makes a difference, plus easier to get off when wanting to work on the car.

How is vibration dealt with on the rigid 6 bolt manifold?
Is there some sort of flexi pipe between the downpipes and the exhaust?
