106GTi and VTS exhaust - centre pipe

[Simo]

Suies 1999 106 GTi has a hole in the exhaust... on the joint directly before the backbox.

Shes thinking about buying a new/2nd hand cat back system for it.

If she buys 2nd hand... is the exhaust the same as the VTS?

The only diference I can think of is sometimes the 106 have different hangers on the rear box?

Can someone confirm if they are the same/different.

Im not 100% sure but I woould imaging they are but I always thought the back box was different as you have said.

[Sean]

doesn't the tailpipe/rear box sit a few inches lower on the pug?

[Scott]

pretty sure the only difference is the hangers

[zaine]

only difference i know of is the hangers aswell buddy

shud be reet :D

As predicted, Suies backbox just fell off whilst going down the road. D'oh!

Im in a rush now, as off to a wedding in half an hour, but the backbox joint itself looks OK. The section of exhaust between the cat and the backbox... does that have a silencer in it?

Its been years since I had a std exhaust so I cant rememebr :err:

Im guessing for now I can just buy the pipe between the cat and backbox until she decides which aftermarket system shes after?

Not many places gonna have a pipe tomorrow though. :err:

[Scott]

kwickshit should stock them. Centre pipe does have a silencer in it

[Simo]

Kwikfit say its a specialist part which they dont kep in stock.

Will have to try and find a window to nip to somewhere tomorrow and order/fit.

Bloomin' jury duty is gonna get in the way though :(

Sorted...

For future reference, Kwik Fit charge £79 for the centre pipe, including fitting :P
