OK, if you change your mind about the 2.5" system have a look see at http://www.nospam.com/default.php?cPath=104_279_284 or for a 3" system http://www.elkparts.co.uk/index.php?cPath=21_422_501 (although you might need to check if they suit 8V turbos). And if you can move the battery to the boot/luggage area in a box have a look at http://www.elkparts.co.uk/index.php?cPath=21_422_502 to remove the restriction at the turbo elbow. And if you can get a little bit serious maybe find out if someone can make you a cross between http://www.ebb.se/extraktor.html for the 8v injection engines and something along the lines of this little beauty for the T16 http://www.pajjakid.com/ubipa/Turbo%20headers.htm Get a set of decent flowing turbular headers, and a nice 3" smooth curved downpipe to a single box 3" system and I don't think you would have too many worries about the exhaust system being restrictive anymore. But you might have probs with the 3" pipes going over the rear axle. Ever thought of uding someone like Longlife, or Powerflow to build you a one off stainless system? -- Carl Robson (The poster formerly known as Skodapilot) http://www.bouncing-czechs.com
