Anyone know if an 8v decat pipe will fit my 16v as I'm being told I can as it's only the pipe being changed??

Decat in question..

I think it's the same but can't remember for sure

Its the same length and shape I just can't remember if the 8v down pipes bolt on to the 16v manifold

Is the cat not part of the manifold on the 1.2 16v?

Na it's at the top of the down pipe

Your absolutely right @johnny , however it still won't fit, if I'm right the 8v down pipe to manifold is two bolt but the 16v from cat to manifold is three bolt

Just checked my cat and it's 3 bolt and from the image and memory 8v is two bolt.

Aw damn!

looks like I'm going for a custom decat then..

Someone said a corsa c downpipe and decat would fit but would have to mess about with it?..

Just take the cat pipe off and take it to a local exhaust/garage/engineer's or anywhere that does welding and ask them to cut it out and weld a pipe in

I made my own decat on my rover i cut the brackets off the cat then welded them on a decent pipe cost like a fiver to make from a local engineering company
