davidwort 0 Posted February 21, 2008 if the car's ,that low you'll be hitting the sump on things too! They don't usually hang that low so I'd check the engine mounts to make sure there's not something else wrong. The front silencer is part of the downpipe and the ways to replace it would be a 2.0 16v downpipe and de-cat pipe or an all in one manifold and downpipe (four-branch).

89 16v 0 Posted February 22, 2008 i have found a 2.0 16v de cat pipe on ebay does anyone know if this will fit on to a 1.8 16v manifold thanks Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
davidwort 0 Posted February 22, 2008 no mate, the 1.8 downpipe is too long as it never had a cat, you need a 2.016v downpipe to match to that you need (1) below, plus de-cat pipe, rather than (1a) that you have at the moment Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
