I have available genuine volvo exhaust down pipes for both the 1.4 and 1.7 models. They are for the late cat modles but can be used on carb modles by cutting off the cat flange.

part numbers

1.4 3212408
1.7 3248184

£10 each

can i get a pic of the 1.7 one please dai, and a pipe ID?

The look just like these on ebay

the pic they have does not show the bracket very clear but the bracket to mount to the bellhousing is there.

I'll try and measure the id but by eye its just under 2"
