Nope, it won't I'm afraid!

Go s/s after market system, probably pay just as much for a sports exhaust as you would a standard one from VW! :smiley:

I got a mk2 back box to fit my mk3 cabrio by getting a bent pipe made to replace the mid rear section. Looks nice with the twin chrome pipes and only paid a fiver for the box and fifteen for the pipe!
