You can use the 16v dual downpipe but NOT the 16v manifold. You'll need
a dual outlet manifold off of an 8v car (late A2 8v Jettas, all A2 8v
GLI's I think).
On my car I'm running a dual outlet manifold off of a '91 8v jetta, dual
downpipe off of a 16v passat, large flange 50mm cat and 50mm TT
exhaust. I don't know if there are improvements in power over stock, as
I'm going from headers to this setup, but I didn't notice any losses,
either, so its a safe bet. If you want, I'd even sell you my (well)
used header, but you won't be able to get a cat on there.

I have an 8V question.. Hope it's ok to post here.. Car in question is
an 87 GTI 8V stock motor. Im planning on doing a new exhaust becuase
the current one is riddled with rust holes. I probably will go with
the TT 2.25" cat back. I hear rumors that you can put the 16V downpie
on the 8V motor and it will breathe a little better. Is there any
truth to this rumor? Do you need the 16V EM also?
Another question-- What wt. oil are folks in central california
running in the 8v or 16v cars? I just got the car, the book says
20-50? for a warmer climate. Does that sound like what you guys are
running?
Thanks-
