That will upset the balance of the brakes considerably and make driving unsafe. Remember, Pressure = Force/Area.
Change it for the correct one.

while your down there, check all the hard lines and flexy lines on the rear and the flexies on the front. Its a common occurance to knacker them or find them seized when your replacing cylinders. again they're cheap so i'd get some just in case.

LOL, all my parts ar in the living room at the moment til the shed gets built :D

4into1 just describes a header (aka exhaust manifold) where the 4 pipes from the exhaust ports on the engine join up into 1 pipe to which you attach your choice of muffler. Once you get the header your can choose a variety of mufflers including the big ass turbo mufflers (very nice sound, had one on my last bug) and when it comes to raggin it down the strip you can bolt on a stinger instead 8) :D

They flow much better than stock exhausts and the other aftermarket types eg monza 4 tips etc.
