Exhaust advise

[Youngy]

Hi as I'm new to these cars I will be posting alot but would an exhaust from a 2003 from the turbo back fit on my 1999 uk 2000

No, I believe the hangers are in the wrong position.

If it's just the hangers I can have them welded on can't I it's just Iv can get a good exhaust for cheap but it's from a bug eye

Yeh it will fit, i think only one or two hangers are in the wrong position... you can heat them up and bend them the right way, some people have even cut them off as aftermarket systems are usually so much lighter you could probably get away with it

ok thanks mate that's just cheered me up but now that's sorted I will be posting about a new turbo now lol

The back box on classics have 3 hangers whereas the newage (bug onwards) only has 2 . You'll probably have to fit the full turbo back as most classics have different length exhaust sections compared to newage . Even though the turbo flange to rear hanger (total length) is the same .

Definitely buy a new turbo outlet gasket and if the downpipe hasn't been off in a while it might be worth getting a few new studs and nuts [emoji6]

If it's not broke .....upgrade it 😊

New age back boxes do have 3 hangers... the difference is the 3rd hanger (the one further in towards the car) is pointing the opposite direction

Ah fury muff, I've only ever seen 2 newage back boxes and they both only had 2 hangers on the back box (admittedly they were both custom made ) . Whereas the 10 + classic systems I've seen had 3 hangers .

3rd hanger isn't overly needed since they are so light anyway!
