Who doesn't love stainless? :) It would probably be very close and could be made to work!

no, not even close.. you would have to hack it all up to make a downpipe from a mk2 fit on a mk1.. its all about where the steering rack is..

2 downpipe on a mk1 = downpipe hitting the rack so bad that it cant be bolted up..

Post by: spencebm on August 29, 2011, 02:04:56 pm: This is shorter than you think and probably spits out close to the rack anyway. It just barely tucks under my mk2 and should allow you to add to it to clear whatever is in the way. Better safe than sorry, though. Anything can be added to it as long as it gets it pointed down past the turbo without hitting the shift linkage or heater lines.

its still shaped wrong to fit on an mk1..

like i said, you could make it fit, but you would have to cut it, and re-weld it.

i didnt say it couldnt be done. because it can be done quite easily, to a skilled fabricator/welder..

nice piece by the way!
