Refitting OE Exhaust

[Tallpaul]

Has anyone refitted their LC OE exhaust system after removing it to have a performance one?

Its been cut to get it off the car so will need a sleave to re-fit.

I believe (but i'm not sure) that when SEAT replace the backbox or whatever, that they obviously have to cut the exhaust but that the new part comes with an enlarged end to slide over the OE part at the join.

Anyone know what i.d. sleave i'll require to rejoin the two and also where i could get one?

IIRC the i.d. of the OE exhaust is 2.25" so i guess the sleave will be around 2.5" to actually cover the pipe?

can somebody who's had a new back box fitted at least confirm how it was attached to the rest of the exhaust?

i really need to get this sorted ASAP. Cheers.

some oe exhaust replacement boxes etc are not enlarged they use a sleeve to go over both old and new parts, possibly kwik fit or similar will keep this part? this was type fitted to wifes 172 but was oe ren part as was box!

I had my OE exhauct refitted to my Leon when I sold. You need a sleeve, which I believe can be bought through SEAT. The sleeve I used was from a Skoda Octavia.

It is quite a fiddle getting the OE one back on. Really depends how carefully it was removed. Mine was slightly bent. As a result, it did hang lower than it should but it worked.

whats the reason for this, you selling it or something

yup, the car and all it's mods will be up for sale in the next couple of weeks.

That'll include the full Milltek, LCR Bodykit, DV, BMC CDA, Boost Gauge, Knob, Leather Handabrake etc etc etc.

It'll all be going on eBay.

Golf 2.8 V6 4Motion on it's way...

Oooohhh good choice, love the 4-motions. Make sure you get it remapped and the Miltek exhaust, then you are in R32 territory and with the same sound

Good choice

am i being silly in that the exhaust would fit the golf? worth a go surely

 

[Tallpaul]

the exhaust will fit any golf mkIV 1.8T.

not the 4motion though - no turbo and a pesky 4wd system in the way
