B3 backbox help

lel-95 · 12-12-16, 04:41 PM

Hi,

I'm looking at fitting an 80 16v sport backbox to my 2.0 3a B3, I've found the exhaust diagram for both cars and the 16v box looks to have a slightly different angle on the pipe that connects to the mid pipe, is this correct or is it an error in the drawing? I'd have thought it would fit but I'd rather ask first!

3A

6A 16v

Thanks!

Are you aware the pipes are different diameters too?

I looked at exactly this for my 2.2 KV B3 and decided going aftermarket/stainless was the sensible option to get the sport look without any unnecessary faffing around.
