Right. Here is the deal.
The Gti and 1.8 exhaust manifolds are different. The cats are different. But from here on in the centre pipe and back box are identical.
What you need to know is that the gti6 cat has a flange and a sleeve where as the 1.8 only has a flange so you will not be able to fit any sleeved systems.
My setup was a decay and straight through centre pipe to a standard back box. It sounded amazing and with the after market ECU it would properly pop.
Then when the flange snapped on the cat I just about managed to sleeve the Magnex on. It was loud.
So my recommendation... Get a straight through sported centre pipe and some new clamps and get that on. If you want it to look good then get a full stainless system but make sure its the flanged type and not sleeved!
