    Good evening,

    I've been looking into a lot of parts and it seems an ABF inlet manifold, KR cams and flowed exhaust manifold are key finds but I've been noticing a lot of exhaust parts (usually manifold to cat) being the same as mk2/mk3 golfs but would the back 3 sections match to either?

    What are you looking at / trying to do?

    You have mentioned a lot of 16v parts so I am guessing you have a 9A?

    Oh yeah, forgot that bit, yeah it's a 9a.
    Basically trying to find a cat back system that'll fit nicely, had a supersprint system on my old golf and it sounded real nice and looking for something similar but supersprint don't make one for corrado anymore, but, I did compare the VR6 systems they do and mk3 and Rado were identical so wondered if anyone else offered same for the 2.0 or whether its easier to just get one fabricated

    early corrado uses mk2 golf front and centre fitment, later they redesigned the hangers a bit and so the exhaust differs on those. interesting when you say mk3 golf fit! the back box is corrado specific due to the ass bing a different shape but you could adapt a golf one without too much effort id assume

    Is what I figured too but its on their website plain as day. Is on a 93 so slap bang in the middle lol. I think crawling under and doing some measurements is in order, will have to borrow mates golf and do same [:D]

    if you check out the hanger for the mid silencer that'll tell you which it is, mk2 type has the single figure 8 hanger and late type has the bigger double hanger with the mk3 stylee rubbers on :)

    Nice! thanks for the info ;)

    I think it's gonna be easier just to get a system fabricated lol
