Re: dual outlet manifold

Yep, that's affirmative. '82 was actually the model year they started the 4 to 1 manifold. The 1.7 would've probably been a much better stock engine if they had kept the dual on. Good thing most parts are interchangeable :-) including an earlier dual outlet man. onto my engine I've recently learned (thanks Scott)

I was wondering if I picked up a dual outlet exhaust manifold from an early
Scirocco, would it fit my 1.7L in my '82? I plan on buying a TT dual
downpipe, but would rather get a cheap manifold (not new). Also, are there
any disadvantages to polishing the exhaust man. ? I figure better flow is
good, but will I lose to much torque... TIA



Are you sure you have the single down? '82 was the cut-off year for the dual
down.
