for questions and answers about alternative power transplants on the T25, GTi, Porsche,Subaru etc, this is the place. You must register to post but anyone can read.
So for those of us who are saving for a stainless steel exhaust then please find some pictures of the exhaust I made myself using the original subaru exhaust manifold headers and some 1.5 inch mild steel pipe, bends and flexi pipe. I did this before I could weld (although I am not world class still) but gives an idea of what you can do with a welder and the original subaru and VW exhaust along with some mild steel pipe you can buy. It fits well. As my van is standard height there is plenty of clearance. I took it off to be sandblasted (went rusty over a few years of non use) and then my sandblaster painted it with BBQ paint as he said it is more resilient than high temp paint.
As you can see it bolts to the exhaust manifold and an empty threaded hole on top of the engine. Hope it helps. Will post the other side tomorrow along with the exhaust fitted
