Exhaust differences between 1.6 - 2.0 Ts? Options

[justil]

Hello guys!

We're currently in the process of fitting a Ti engine in my car that previously had a 1.6. The engine's already in place and the exhaust manifolds are good, but the rest of the exhaust system on the donor car is sadly completely unusable. Question is, since the car we're working on already has an exhaust system fitted, will there be any problems? My mechanic says that the manifold itself looks the same, so he doubts there should be any problems down the rest of it. I'd appreciate some confirmation from anyone around here though

Cheers!

you could check part numbers in ePER at

they should be similar, might be slight changes in silencer shapes

interesting question

it'll be down to a difference in back-pressures won't it.

what is the difference between a 1.6 and a 2.0..? Maybe 20%

A lot of people will have thrown that tolerance away with fitting aftermarket backboxes & de-cat pipes, and never even noticed!

I think you'll be alright- although entirely as Shpuncik says; worth checking the part No.s...

Thanks for the tips, guys. In fact later on I plan to get a complete aftermarket exhaust system for the car, possibly a Ragazzon, not sure yet. I was just curious whether or not I'd have problems until then. I guess we'll see
