Wrong Silencer Connection

Post by **mearnsy** » 10 Jul 2007, 22:02

I have just bought a new silencer for my 1981 a/c 1600 and when removing the old one noticed the connections are different. The new one has oval shaped plates with 2 holes ready to clamp, whereas the existing uses the bracket that curves around and clamps top and bottom.

Click the link to see the pics, i have also noticed the tailpipe is longer.

Can anyone tell me where to get the correct silencer from, this was bought from JK and is for a CT engine.

Just Kampers reckon there was a period of 6 months were vw used different exhaust and i have it!!

They should be able to source the connections though.

HAs anyone else heard of this rare exhaust?

Well, after fitting one heat transfer pod and the connectors each side, the new exhaust works and sounds a treat.

After all i didnt have to remove the o/s transfer pod.

Just kampers will accept treurns so that will save some money.

Sorry for the panic guys, but thanks for the advice.
