172 exhaust question

[Rich-D]

Are aftermarket exhaust systems on a mk1 172 and a mk2 172/Cup the same fitment???

I know theyre different up front, but I believe they are the same from the cat back?!

rich, they are now the same for both cars. there is a slight length difference between the origonal systems on the mk1 and mk2 so the after market exhausts have an extendable section to bridge the gap.

the mk1 centre section is longer than the mk2 due to the mk1 cat being shorter.a mk2 exhaust will fit a mk1 if its got telescopic joints that will allow you to lengthen it slightly.know this for defo as i sold a mk2 system to ryhs with his mk1 and i had to extend the joint fully out so it would fit.
