Exhaust Fitments

[Guest ablister]

just wondering if a non gti exhaust system will fit to a gti?

 

Is it all different or can certain parts fit?

 

I've tried to search through here but couldn't find any answers

 

Cheers,

I know that the centre section deffinetly wont fit due to diameter and the xu manifold being at the back, shorter centre section. Im not sure on the backbox i remember mounting points being roughly in the same area but knowing peugeot they wont fit.

The GTi exhaust is specific to it & the exhaust from any other 205 model shouldn't be used, it would cause running problems IMO.

 

They lower spec models have a smaller diameter downpipe, centre pipe & the back box is of a different internal design as are the manifolds.

 

The mounting points are the same for the backbox but I wouldn't fit an exhaust from a smaller engine to the GTi.

if i bought a new centre section for my exhaust, which is what i'm needing, do they come with the downpipe too.

 

what i mean is, the 'centre' section available from ECP and GSF etc connects the manifold to the backbox?

 

sorry if these are daft questions but £45 sounds good 0if i0t i0.s0.

AFAIK GSF now only list the exhaust for the phase 2 cars which has an integral downpipe & centre pipe rather than a three peice system like the earlier 205.

 

There have been some people on here that have bought them from gsf & said they weren't of the correct design with the splitter on the downpipe that goes right down under the car like thay are mean't to.

 

I have an Arvin downpipe for the three piece system & that is of the right style but I don't know if the two piece systems are the same. If you can get one on promise that if it is wrong they'll return it for no charge then give it a try.

i bought a timax downpipe recently that didnt have the splitter and just looked poorly made the bore at the lower end was small as well looked only slightly bigger than the backbox tailpipe walker are the same give or take a couple of mm btw

I'm using a XS backbox on my 1.6. Ithas taken away some of the power of my car. Can't wait 'till I get my 4-1 manifold and remus bacbox fitted.

Anyone tried a diesel back box, i've seen some racers with it on..

Strangely enough I have a diesel backbox fitted to my diesel 205.

 

Not trid it on my GTi's though, they are usually knackered when I take them off & can't be bothered to swap it just to try.
