how much are these?, drives me nuts when people use old arse systems, that's a 10yr+ system lol (a good carbon steel system is good for maybe 6-7yrs), get a new one made as that cat will more than likely be very old and of not much use soon

best $350 you'll spend

It won't fit. em1 (coupe) is longer compare to ek4 (hatch).

Its aftermarket but its made for ek4 and i am wondering if it will fit a em1
nothing wrong with a aftermarket system 10+ years old

if it's s/s nearly 10yrs old, there's plenty, you are aware of what is in a cat right? (the inside elements do have a lifespan) lol

exhaust systems don't last forever, it will fit if you can cut it and re-weld

Cat back doesnt include a CAT.......
read the original question

**EK1.6LCIV** · 02-06-2010 08:56 AM

when I get cat back systems back its the whole cat back lol (pay money to do a job properly lol)

this topic has been covered before (too many times by people with more degrees than me lol), search more...

i changed the original post...........to not including cat!
i thought catback was pretty obvious........either way your comments have nothign to do with the topic.
