Has anyone any longterm opinions on the GSF ones, or are exhausts still available from VW?
I don't want stainless, just something subtle to resemble OE stuff…..

General consensus seems to be that the GSF OE quality ones (Ernst/Bosal) are a good fit and look very original. If we're honest though even the original VW Mk1 exhaust design was never particlularly "pretty" :wink:
Not sure on the longevity stakes, but they are very good value. You can replace pretty much the whole system from the manifold back for about 100 quid. Even if it only lasts a year or two that doesn't seem too bad to me.
I will be buying a complete system within the next few months for my Campaign and will probably go with the OE GSF system, barring some incredibly lucky genuine VW autojumble find :wink:

For a 1.6 GTi I know they are no longer available from VW. I think downpipe and centre box are the same for 1.8 GTi, rear box is different. Ernst and Bosal from GSF are both OE quality and I have had no problems.
I did manage to get a rear box for my 1976 1.6 carb from VW though for about ?22

Doesn't seem like anybody is saying anything bad…fitment or otherwise.
As said, I thought the prices were very good too…even if it does have to be replaced in a couple of years. Cars going to be dry weather use only so that should help!
Cheers guys.

Was a little dissapointed, cos it isn't a straight pipe sticking out of the middle, it's a bent pipe comming from one side.
I don't think it has the same effect.
That one was an ernst.

Re: Backbox

the tailpipe does look ugly coz of the bland silver finish.
The one I had was aluminiumised steel and the tailpipe did actually polish up a bit. Looked much better! It was the more expensive of the two that GSF do…
