Exhaust advice

Post by Caprobe » Sun Jul 06, 2025 11:02 am

Morning all, I’ve got a 1995 16v and I need to replace the centre exhaust, I’ve read that there is 2 different sizes for the 2.0 depending on when the car was built and the changeover is 95? The logbook says it was registered on 31/12/1995 but I think it was built before this as it has a s1 distributor and not a Temic key, it also has the under bonnet light but colour coded mirrors ( could of been replaced as it also has 5 spoke swirlies). Any advice would be appreciated thanks

I believe that the centre pipe is the same size for all, whether it's an early or late car, because, it is the CAT that is different in size based on the manifold and where that ends.

If you can find a different size centre pipe, please post up the links, as it would be useful for others 8-)

two different types of centre pipes, early and late (its the shape of them that`s different as well as the length)
