Exhaust Systems

[Pogo]

What are the differences between exhaust systems between the various models.
I think I need a new back box because there is a rattle which I think is a loose baffle.
Are all the rear boxes the same?, the pictures all look pretty much the same.
Obviously I want the rear box for the GTI, but it appears to me the diesels use the same exhaust, is this right?

With the exception of the front pipes, i believe there are essentially only 2 basic systems:

Flanged: 1900 petrols & TD's
Sleeved: N/A-D's & 1600 petrols.

I'm not sure of the bore diameter on the 1400s but they are the sleeved type.

So, yes, TD & GTI are the same except for possibly the front pipe.

Yes !

Bosal Hatchback ref:- 135-537

Only the TD's!

Only the TD's!

Or Petrol 1.6i's

So basically as long as its a Bosal ref. '135-537' or another manufactures equivalent (Hatch-back fitment only)

Not being anal but, Question was:

So yes it's the same as the diesels, but only TD's

Look at descriptions etc. carefully - when looking for bits for Timex I found several sellers listing models that used both common types for the same part.
