Exhaust 1.9 petrol '88

Hi all,

I have only owned by T25 for 2 weeks & so far I'm loving it.
Hopefully I'm not going to embarrass myself by asking the following question... Does any one know the difference between the exhausts for petrol & diesel. The rear silencers looks very similar but the difference in price is quite substantial. Is it down to the flow rate or just connections & mounting points?!?

Thanks for your time
Tim

The diesel engine is a "normal" inline four cylinder engine with an exhaust manifold, the exhaust systems for sale are just single pipe systems from the manifold.
The petrol engine is a "boxer" configuration with two pairs of cylinders mounted horizontally and opposite each other, the exhaust system has all the pipework to connect to each cylinder separately and is therefore more complicated and hence more expensive.

Are you just looking for silencer of the whole system?
do you have the late dg ststem where the silencer has pipes at each end?
( just possible somebody fitted early to it in the past)
If so

Thanks to you both, yes I was just referring to the silencer. That looks like a fair price from eurocar parts :D
