ED30 cat back exhaust same as standard GTI?
« on: January 28, 2014, 06:47:13 pm »
Before I buy it, I just wanted to be 100% sure that a ED30 cat back exhaust system is identical to a standard GTI. Surely it is?

The ED30 back box is ST/ST



the standard GTI is mild steel.

but they both fit the same cars.

You sure?

Seems odd given the fact that they have the same part number???
