Do i need to upgrade my exhaust after fitting bigger engine?

Post by vwstanley66 »

I've replaced a non turbo 1.6 diesel engine with a 1.9 non turbo diesel. It feels like it should go faster! Should I also upgrade my exhaust would that improve performance?
If so where is a good place to get an exhaust fitted near Coventry, West Midlands?

You've replaced one gutless wonder with a very marginally less gutless wonder that might last a little longer.

Don't expect a performance motor.
