MKI Golf/A1 Golf GTD downpipe? did they get made?
« on: October 28, 2005, 01:38:18 pm »
How do, I got a A1/Mk I Caddy, just bought a GTD to rebuild.
There was talk a bit back about someone making a downpipe specifically for the conversion.
Just wondered how they got on and if they were available yet?
Im a buy one off the shelf kinda guy!

If you weld/clamp that to the rest of the exhaust that is not goping to last long cause the engine is rocking back and forth it will snapp off the flange bolts eventually. or do you put a flex piece after the downpipe?

I'm sure he plans on you using a flex joint. This is how I did it on my exhaust:

Notice the flex joint right after the downpipe.

Wow... those look like nice pieces.  I have basically the same style downpipe and for the flex pipe, I went to summitracing and picked up a small stainless braided section (slip-on) and it seems to work pretty well.



They've also got a weld-on kind as well:

When I got it, it didn't seem like it flexed very much at all, but once the rest of the exhaust was put on, it turned out to flex quite well...

I had plans to put in some kind of support to the back of the block, but I'm not sure if it's necessary with the flex joint.

Yes you need to use a flex joint, but the price does not include one. I can add them on for additional cost. The reason I didn't put one on is so whoever is makingthe rest of the exhaust can put it where need be, this is also the reason why there is an extra foot on the end of the downpipe, gives the exhaust builder some flexibilty.
