Re: Common things between 8V and 16V ??- cat back fit?

["Victor Farren" <vfarren@rrs.cdie.org>]

If the cat-back exhaust fits or not depends on whether you have an later style 8v with the small/donut sized spare or the earlier 8vs w/ the large/regular size spare.  My old 8v had the large sized spare w/ large gas tank and the 2"TT would not fit on my 16v.  The bend where it goes over the axle is different.

I would call Potterman or TT just to be sure that the later style 8v exhaust will fit on a 16v, but I am sure that the exhaust from the earlier model 8vs w/ large spare won't fit on your 16v.

I wouldn't worry about that too much.  My 16v has about
178k on the original engine, and it's the lowest mileage of
the bunch.

Correct.  Although, hmmm...   the cat back might work?  I
have no idea though really....  Anyone?

Nope - that won't swap.
