Centre section for VTR

  1. #1
    Hello,
    I have been searching, but cannot find a definite answer.

    My friend has just purchased a mark 2 VTR, which still has the mark 1 exhaust layout, e.g. cat under the car, not in the manifold.

    The centre section on his exhaust has just started to blow due to a hole rotted through.

    My question is, can he get the centre section from a mark 2 VTR or lesser model (e.g. 1.1) - will this mark 2 centre section fit correctly to the bottom of the down pipe, and then all the way along to the backbox?

    Is there a difference in pipe bore between the 1.1 centre sections and the VTR ones, as i believe the 1.1 centre sections do not have a silencer?

    Many Thanks,

    Jimbo

    the cat under the car is a 2 piece centre section cat and then a pipe to backbox
    the cat on manifold has a 1 piece mid section if you want to replace this you to decat it u can use a 1.4 pug 106/saxo exhaust or vtr 1.6 from the newer mk2 saxo but this will fail an mot but these do fit
