Longlife exhausts do a 4 to 1 Branch manifold for the syncro. £250 fitted, and a custom stainless pipe for around £400.
Probably my next route of upgrade seeing as after I fitted a VAG syncro back box the car no longer idles when it is cold. (Seems blocked almost)

now then fellers im having an exaust made and fitted next weekend was quoted 280 quid for a full system from the manifold right out the back with stanless steel lifetime garuntee. just thought and looked on your diagram it says it needs a catalyst is that right. it also says N/A what does that mean not avalable. could i have one made without the catalyst. not sure what im on about. catalysts were non compulsory up to 1993 i believe. would it gain more less power without one is it legal does it need one etc etc etc. any help welcome thanks in advance

You are not obliged to have a cat fitted if your car was made before 1992,
so all Golf 2 models are ok without cats, as long as they will pass the emissions (CO2) test, the figure for the carb version is 3.5% and for the injection its 0.5%
the 4 gas test does not apply to most of our cars as they are too old

BTW, A cat absorbs about 5bhp or so on the 1800 motor. []

Are you sure it includes the manifold? The price sounds right for a cat back system! I had a Power Flow 2″ system fitted from the manifold back on my Country, with the Cat removed and it cost around £350. You can get ‘Hi-Flow’ cats which only reduce the the power by 1 or 2 bhp, but they cost a few hundred quid. A decent manifold will also cost a couple of hundred quid in stainless steel (see g-werks website).
