Presumably.
VEGE are an engine rebuilding company, I expect they rebuild engines to stock specification.
Check the serial number, top of the crankcase behind (i.e. towards you) the distributor, if it starts "CT", you have a CT engine.
In relation to your other thread, I'm pretty sure the exhausts were identical LHD/RHD, LHD tailpipe exits on the left, so if your does too, then they're the same.
Which bit of the exhaust do you need? The whole system is eye-wateringly expensive, so try to only get the bit you need.

its all shot, blowing in quite a few places now, and very rusty, apart from the silencer which looks a bit newer but much; i would suspect if i try scrimping, the parts i try to reuse will fail once they are dislodged.
there's no way i can afford brand new, so i'm looking for a stripped system; i've been offered a system, but i'm waiting on an answer if its LHD. it makes no difference to me, but i'm asking about it because there be a reason / law stopping me?
thanks for the tip, i found the number, it has CT next to it, so thats one question sorted, RESULT!
cheers
