Re: [8v] exhaust upgrade questions



Is you 3" system on your Rabbit or your Scirocco?  There may be more clearance on a Rabbit or a Mk2 'Roc.  I've got no problem with the 2.25" on my '79, but I don't think 2.5" would fit without a fight.  The only real tight spot is the over the axle part.

have rubbing, for a certainty.  I am absolutely 50% sure of that.  I give it
my unconditional maybe.  Actually, Peter?



Naw, 2.25" fits pretty good. I'm not saying to use it, but just saying that
it fits. The only problems I have run into in terms of fit were with 3".
