pip470 61 Posted October 14, 2007 Any chance of some pics of where the gti 6 manifold mates to the down pipe, i offered up my standard 8v downpipe and although the flange looked the same, it put the exhaust way too low, it runs paralel to the bottom of the car but its about a foot away. What have people used on this conversion. Cheers in advance Phill Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
TurboSam 5 Posted October 14, 2007 I used a cut and shut 8v downpipe Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
smighall 1 Posted October 14, 2007 I use a GTI6 decat, had to chop some length out of it to meet the start of the centre section. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
whizzer71 0 Posted October 15, 2007 I used the original 6' frontpipe and cut the cat out of it Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
petert 607 Posted October 15, 2007 I think I cut back a BX16V down pipe. ie I ground off the flange and cut back 6" or so, removing the centre section, then re-welded the flange back on. There should be no centre divider. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
monty69 6 Posted October 15, 2007 So how do you get the manifold to clear servo? Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
petert 607 Posted October 15, 2007 So how do you get the manifold to clear servo? I made a special wedge plate that changes the angle and makes the transition between the ports on an Mi16/S16 head and the GTi6 manifold face. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
whizzer71 0 Posted October 15, 2007 I cut mine and dropped it by 5mm. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
pip470 61 Posted October 15, 2007 What servo are you on about, I take it you mean its the power steering servo? Thanks for the pic petert. Can i be a pain and ask for the opposite side of the pipe and the flange so i can see where you have welded. Maybe next time your under the car. When you say there is no divider do you split the full exhaust and remove the diveder and seam weld it all back up? Cheers phill Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
