F2_Stu has got a Cordy 1.8T exhaust on his 2.0 16v, so the answer is yes

 

[myseatcupra]

cheers andy, i'll ask him how it fits

 

[F2 Stu]

I have the Jetex Mk3 Cordoba Cupra 20vt 2.5" catback on mine

Connects to the 16v cat no probs and all the exhaust hangers are in the right places, allthough you will need to cut the rear valence.

Bought it from Jetex UK, nice people to deal with - they wont have it in stock but it only took a week or so for it to arrive from Sweden.

how does it fit to the cat. does it push in or is there a clamp to conect it?

 

[F2 Stu]

sleaved joint & clamp

 

[myseatcupra]

well ive done it. ordered it just now. just hope my old one holds out till it turns up

 

[F2 Stu]

take care in removing the block of wood

stu you lost me there. is the front end of the cat bolted on with a flange. so i can remove the hole exhaust i'll cut the back section off. then remove the cat from the old pipe? if you get my jibbering

 

[myseatcupra]

or is it best to use a hammer and block of wood on the middle box. is that what you were getting at

 

[F2 Stu]

Cat & down pipe is one piece if its original from factory and you dont want to be removing that....

The joints are sleeved, so you'll have to undo the clamp and with a bit of persuasion it will slide off.

You'll see what I mean about the wood

 

[myseatcupra]

ok cool. cant wait for it to turn up.

 

[myseatcupra]

stu in your pic of your engine. what dizzy pack you got on there, its nothing like mine

 

[F2 Stu]

I dont have a distributer & coil, it got replaced by a coilpack

 

[myseatcupra]

daft question but is that better. would it be worth doing to mine. or is it just yours lives on the edge. you got your motor running yet. or you still in moo the shed

 

[F2 Stu]

It came as part of the Kit with the engine management..

Still in the Golfy

This has helped me loads i was just about to start looking at exhausts for my 26v as the standard ones on the way out, any prices on the jetex system? Also how loud is it?

 

[myseatcupra]

you'll have to ask f2 stu how loud it is. but here's the cost
PRODUCTS1 x System 1.8T Cupra/Turbo Sport 156 HP 00-02 (30-H8R) SUBTOTAL £ 289.00 POSTAGE £ 6.00 VAT £ 51.63 TOTAL £ 346.63
they do an oval tail pipe to think that was about 310

 

[myseatcupra]

longlife quoted me 300 quid for a 2.5mm single tail pipe. £30+ for other tail pipes. and about 3hours for fitting
