Which Jetex Exhaust?

Post by Akinesis »

Being aware that 8v carbs do like their back pressure (bless the EX!), what what be the best option - the Jetex 80mm single exit 2", or the twin 90mm exit 2.5"?? I need to get as much power out of this lump as I can until I get my ABF dropped in at the end of this year, but obviously don't wanna spend too much if I'm gonna do an engine change :cool: Got a DX cam on the way and a weber to fit, so I'm sure the exhaust choice will effect the breathing. But then I think I'm just answering my own question here anyway :stupid: Anyone tried these systems? My 'Rocco is track use only, it may be worth pointing out.

Also, to that effect, if anyone does have a spare performance exhaust kicking around I'm all ears. I'm not going for show 'n' shine here, just raw performance :training:

I'd be edging toward the 2.5" if you're gonna be going 2.0 16v soon.

So I could use that exhaust with the 16v, too?

Yes - but the manifold would need to be a mk1 golf 16v jobbie
