I'm sorry for the cross-post ... really !!

With the search feature down for the count , I have no other choice but to just ask ... What size cat. converter pipe do I have ??
I'm going to be ordering a new exhaust for my Jetta , but everywhere I look , I have a choice of pipe sizes at the cat . Is there a simple way to figure this out , short of jacking it up (possibly disconnecting) & measuring ??? It seems it could have either a 50mm or 55mm pipe coming out of the cat (although I read something somewhere about a 45mm pipe too ?) .
Here's what I know about this Jetta so far :
91 Jetta
8-valve
"RV" engine prefix
single downpipe
digifant

anything else you need to know ??
I'm not 100% sure which system I'm getting (eurosport or autotech) , but I want to order an exhaust in the next week or so and I have to figure this out
. With all those aftermarket exhausts out there in A2 land , someone must know
!
Thanks in advance !!

Thanks guys
! I'll go there & look for that info & I'll just have to shove my arse under there
.
Another quick question : Will going to the dual downpipe affect the size of exhaust I need also ?? Like , if I end up with the 50mm exhaust & then change to dual downpipe , will I end up being screwed by needing the 55mm size for the "update" ?? That would not make my day

Danke schön
http://****************.com/smile/emthup.gif - you rock ! I would like to do the dual downpipe , just not right now . The old system is HAMMERED
& I don't want anyone choking to death in the thing
(well , it's not THAT bad ... yet) . The dual-down is gonna be a back-burner project till I scare up the parts (& the $$) .

Just an FYI for any of you playing along at home
:

I jacked the car up tonight & put the trusty vernier caliper on the outlet pipe of the cat. converter & came up with a measurement of 50mm . Looks like that's the measurement I'll be using when I order my exhaust this week
.
Just thought I'd let ya'll know what I found out ...
