If you are going to use an exhaust from another model remeber you need to take it from a car with the same number of cylinders and only quttro exhausts will fit quattro cars and fwd exhausts on fwd cars - not compatible the other way around.
Why do the 1.8T's require twin exhausts anyway?

Go for it you won't be disappointed.
I used the cat back exhaust from a 1.8t on my 1.9tdi the pipe diameter is identical and requires no mods at all.Sorry to resurect this thread.
Im looking to do this to my 1.9tdi, could you tell me how many parts of the exhaust are required?
Reason I ask is I have been offered an exhaust but from the cat back.
Cheers.

But, would like to do this to my 2.5 TDi Q Sport Avant.....But I want to do it for pennies not mega bucks
I used the cat back exhaust from a 1.8t on my 1.9tdi the pipe diameter is identical and requires no mods at all.
No issues at all i was worried that the exhaust may get louder by deleting the back boxes thats why i went with the 1.8t system its a direct fit and perfect in every way no change in performance or MPG .I need to do the twin exhaust mod soon but not sure on the best way to go about it on a 1.9TDI FWD. I see that getting a 1.8T exhaust is one way to do it but am a bit concerned about then having 2 back boxes. Will this not affect performance or mpg in any way?
The only other way I have seen is to remove the single standard back box and fit a plain bit of pipe that splits to each side of the car with a chrome tip on it. This way there will be no back box at all and I have the same concerns as above, plus the additional worry of loss of back pressure damaging the engine.
What effect will having none or 2 back boxes make on the 1.9TDI FWD? Does anyone have any experiences or know of any other way of doing it?

Yep 1.8t from cat back the system is even the same bore as the tdi so no mods at all with the system it fits straight on and the genuine sytems come in one piece so the front coupling is the only join .So am i clear forgetting the heat shield,hanger and rear valance, it is a system from a 1.8t i want, is that just from cat back?

hey guys and gals, i have a 52 plate 2.5 diesel which has two rear tailpipes and boxes, i would love, love to have chrome exhaust tips, but don't want to do it cheap and nastily but no spend out to much, thing is i have no idea where to go, im in luton, bedfordshire............any advice would be very genuinly welcomed.
Check out POWERFLOW for the tips which can be welded on, and you will need a new rear lower bumper. If you've an Avant I have one you might be interested in.
Why you not done it yet if you already have the valance??
Because the valance has some minor scratched in it, nothing really, but would suit a car thats got sprayed lowers better. I might yet do it, I'm undecided.
Ian.....did you have to replace the entire lower part of your bumper or just the bit thats the lower rear vallance with the two exhaust ports......what version/make of back bumper is yours,,,,,and where did you get the exhaust tail pipes sorted ? I would like the same size as the 1.8T myself...
Chassis is the same so i cant see why not , and the B7 2.0 tdi fits a B6 1.9tdi so they are the same if you get my drift .Does anyone know if the B7 2.0 FSi twin back box exhaust will also fit the 1.9FWD?
It looks the same shape as a B6 1.8T one to me
