Original rear silencer for a 1.8 GTI

Hello,

For my 1983 Golf MK1 1.8 GTI I am looking for to replace the aftermarket rear silencer with something as close to original as possible. I have done some research, but it would be amazing if someone could confirm the following:

1. Is it correct that I should get an oval rear silencer for a 1.8 GTI, as opposed to the round rear silencer?
2. Are there any recommend brands? I have seen Ernst being mentioned here and there.
3. Is the rear silencer on a 1.8 GTI identical to the rear silencer on a 1.8 GTI cabrio? I found this cabrio rear silencer on sale, but I have no idea if they are similar or not.

Thanks in advance.

1 correct.1.6 gti is round
2 think poss only Ernst making them? I got one 3 years ago to replace the 17 years old/30,000 mile one fitted when I restored the GTI in 2000
3 think post '87/88 they changed the design/hangers?

Thank you very much! In that case I will be looking at a tintop oval 1.8 GTI exhaust.

I'm pretty sure werk34.de do them.

I know that on my 81 diesel golf it was round from the factory, and that my 90 Cabriolets were oval.
