I'm not 100% but I would have thought so, the bore on the two boxes should be the same being the same size engines. Can anyone back me up?
Why do you ask, is there one going cheap?

Yeah i got to know a guy at my local scrappy (got the Laguna splitter from him) he said a crashed 216Gti come in to one of the sites and it has a big back box on it not sure wot size but he said it was twin tailpipe and between 2"- 3" so thinking if it fits on mine i'll take it!

thanx for the reply tho I hope it fits

if your car has k-series engine it wont fit as the gti has the honda engine.

Nah mines got the honda engine too, been checking the net most exhaust sites say Gsi/GTi/SLi 90-95 the only thing is mine is a SOHC and the GTi is a DOHC hope that dont make a difference,

Should fit, prob will bolt straight up. I dont see Rover changing the exhaust and flanges on it for a different model...

It can always be made to fit! If not, you'll get your cash back selling it on here.

Im 100% sure that a honda 216 DOHC (GTI) back box will fit a honda 216 SOHC (sli).

I have a GTI OE backbox for sale if you want one... Â£10 as new.

What was the performance on the Sli, my neighbours got one.

Iam pretty sure the backbox is same across the range for Honda engines at least
