All,
I have the following exhaust bits for my 8v GTI:
50mm cat back exhaust from TT.
Dual outlet manifold off of a '90 Jetta (looks like an O2 sensor
fitting on it)
Downpipe from a 2.0l 16v Passat
And what I'm _told_ is a catalytic converter off of a '90 Jetta (no O2
sensor fitting on it)
The guy that sold me the downpipe said it would bolt up to the 50mm
catalyst from the Jetta. It DOESN'T. The 3-bold flange on the cat is
too small to fit on the passat downpipe.
My question is: should they fit together? Two different people have
told me the 50mm cat will bolt to the passat downpipe. Was I misled?
Does anyone have the correct downpipe?? I'm almost tempted to just say
f-ckit and run w/o a cat, but even then I need to find a way to bolt the
downpipe to a straight pipe. I _refuse_ to take this to a muffler shop,
as the only one in town that is willing to work with customer supplied
parts is run by a complete asshole.
TIA,
Pat Austin
