G1 Cabrio Rear Exhaust Box - 1.6, 1.8 (With Clipper Body Kit)

Replacement rear exhaust silencer designed for Volkswagen Golf Mk1 Cabriolet models fitted with the Clipper body kit. Suitable for both 1.6 and 1.8 petrol carburettor and fuel injection engines, this rear silencer helps restore correct exhaust flow while significantly reducing exhaust noise for a quieter and more refined driving experience.

Designed specifically for late Clipper-style Cabriolet models, this rear exhaust section features the correct layout and fitment for vehicles equipped with factory body kits. Over time, original silencers can corrode internally and externally due to condensation, heat cycles and road salt exposure, leading to blowing exhausts, increased noise and MOT failures.

Manufactured from durable steel for reliable fitment and long service life, this rear silencer is ideal for standard road cars, restorations and daily-driven classic Golfs.
