polariskid Posted April 12, 2012 Report Share Posted April 12, 2012 I'm looking to buy this Sportex exhaust for my Sport. It's central exit however it's for a standard 1.0-1.4. Just wondering if it's gonna be a straight fit? Or if not what work has gotta be done to make it fit?Cheers,Tom Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Defcon5 Posted April 12, 2012 Report Share Posted April 12, 2012 It wont fit I dont think. Well it will with some modification, but the mounts look wrong, and you would have to bend it up to fill the recess in the bumper Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Koop Posted April 13, 2012 Report Share Posted April 13, 2012 Aye it'll mount onto the standard floor pan & sports have that recess. Some are advertised as sport/GTI exhausts so presumably the mounts are the same on the GTI? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Defcon5 Posted April 13, 2012 Report Share Posted April 13, 2012 Yes the GTI/Sport exhaust are identical bar the tip Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Koop Posted April 13, 2012 Report Share Posted April 13, 2012 Wonder if anyone with a GTi fancies a change to a single exit Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Defcon5 Posted April 13, 2012 Report Share Posted April 13, 2012 ....But the GTI wont fit the sport without cutting the recess into a squarer shape Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Koop Posted April 13, 2012 Report Share Posted April 13, 2012 Bah, foiled again. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
polariskid Posted April 14, 2012 Author Report Share Posted April 14, 2012 Well i've bought it. Full system from the manifold back, brand new. £60. Let the cutting and welding commence. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Koop Posted April 14, 2012 Report Share Posted April 14, 2012 Bargain. Good luck! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
polariskid Posted April 14, 2012 Author Report Share Posted April 14, 2012 Cheers Koop, it's a fair old size (don't judge) so the recess is gonna have to be 'trimmed' but tastefully, not with a jigsaw like so many Saxo/106s. Having the manifold repaired cus it's blowing really badly where the welds from the cylinders have just cracked off. So i'm gonna put it on then Will post pics when done.PS being that it doesn't have a back box, is it gonna sounds like ass?

Defcon5 Posted April 14, 2012 Report Share Posted April 14, 2012 That is going to be mega ASBO attracting loud Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
polariskid Posted April 15, 2012 Author Report Share Posted April 15, 2012 Hmmm... Not quite was i was going for. Maybe have to make up a box for it them Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
polariskid Posted April 21, 2012 Author Report Share Posted April 21, 2012 So, as Defcon said, the sound was horrifically loud! Nice and deep below 2k, and then had a stupidly loud bark/rasp beyond there. So i had the cat refitted today and it's still without back box or silencers but is really deep throughout the range. Will post a video later to see what you guys think Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
