Late 2.1 and 1.9 exhaust - differences?

Post by StuM »

Hi All,

I have an exhaust for sale that is a late 1.9 petrol one - full system of front and rear pipes, intermediate pipe, backbox and tailpipe. I've been asked if this would fit on a 2.1 auto. Looking at parts suppliers, it seems that the 2.1 and 1.9 systems are the same apart from the front pipe which is a different part number. The only visible difference from the pictures appears to be that the 1.9 has the hot air intake on it.

Does anyone know if this is the only difference and if so, is the 1.9 exhaust ok on a 2.1?

Thanks,
Stu

i think they are the same apart from the hot air duct on the 1.9 which isn't really needed anyway, the earlier system will fit as well but it is not advised due to slightly more uneven exhaust pulses so I've heard. I have a 1.9 auto and my exhaust was advertised as a 1.9 and 2.1 exhaust.
