Depends on what size GT its from.

If a GT125 then no it wont fit.

If its a GT200 then yes its the same Wink

It`s from a GT 200,is it essential to change the standard exhaust when fitting the variator?

no its not, but if i had a standard pipe i'dd not be using hte polini to its full potential, the power on the standard pipe is made lower down the rev range compared to the pm.

Hi Ross,as long as It`s nippy off the lights the standard pipe will suffice......for now Wink

Performance pipes produce more top end power, but loose power low down... so if its torque and acceleration you want then the std pipe will be fine, its it top speed and higher rpms you want, then a system will be needed...

It only seems to increase the rpms as it holds the gearing lower for longer to let the engine produce more power... The actual engines max rpm limit doesnt change as its fixed by the ECU unit Wink

Thanks for the info lads.I reckon the top speed is enough as standard.It`s the acceleration I`d like.I don`t fancy spending over £300 for a new pipe so I`ll wait untill the standard `zorst goes and consider options at that time.

yes it goes well with the stanard pipe.
what weights did you use. as you may be able to use lighter weights than other people with pm/scorp pipes.This will make yours even quicker off the mark and not a lot of loss on top end

I`m getting a LV `zorst as my standard one is looking even worse than I thort!! Suit scoot is fitting it as well as a Polini variator with 14g weights.He assures my that being 15 stone it should be ideal.......`ish Confused

Malossi belt,PM68,pm fuel commander,Polini variator and 14gram rollers the rev limiter comes in too early with 13g rollers,may be different with other pipes,christsake dont forget the shim with the malossi belt and leave original shim in as well or you will have a mess on yer hands.
