no they are different, never done it but aparrently if you cut the exhaust flange of he gi you can weld it to the stock one and it fits, personally i would probably just get 16v extractors or fab a new down ipe for the gti exhaust manifold

if that doesnt make snse well its late :P

I just did my exaust on my conversion by swapping over the header plates on some Sierra extractors to GTI header plates

Its straightforward but does take a few hours to do.

Never heard or seen the 16v ones used? Any one got pics? How does it line up with the ports?
