I GOT TO LEARN A NEW THING ABOUT MK-2 THANKS TO connanxlrc1000.
I DID NOT KNOW THAT INTAKES FOR MK-2 ARE RECTANGULAR.

you got more info on MK2 in this thread

can you give me a link for rectangular intakes?
read post no 12 in the below link thread it was posted by one of the member but not the link so you can ask him

It just says larger intakes, nowhere is it mentioned it will feild rectangular intakes....I think you have misquoted it.

Not sure it will be rectangle .. but logically looks correct because F18 houses the same and Our designers may follow the same for safety purpose.. May be it would be optimal for that engine and its structure.. and May be it would apply the same for Tejas too...
Rectangular exhaust means there will be a full change to the existing airframe and is equal to designing a new airframe. The Super Hornet is almost a new plane compared to the F 18 A/B hornets. This will require a totally different design philosophy leading to further delays. I hope the HAL & ADA dosent do something like that.
I dont think there is such extensive change in Tejas.. Our avionics are changing which will go into AMCA and we will be adding 1 or 2 weapons package more thats all...
Key for Tejas-2 is more weapons and more range + increase the AoA and agility...
Commonality between Tejas Mk-1 and Tejas MK-2 will be digital Fly by Wire (FBW) Flight Control System (FCS) along with some avionics which both aircraft will share, but sources also told us that FBW Software will require some modification in them to support structural changes which Tejas MK-2 will have.
- new air intakes
- new rear fuselage
- larger wings
- more weapons stations
- new radar
- new engine
- IRST (although I still didn't read about it yet)
Like the article says too:
So there will be extensive changes between the 2 Tejas versions!

Sirjee Not exhaust ... we are talking about Air intake.. And by adding the immovable Rectangular Air intakes it is not going to affect our FBW system.. FBW system is affected in the areas such as increased wing area and increased fuselage ... Where as the rear body might get bigger to house the engine but as far as the reports it seems the dimensions are looking same... I guess the test going for new Air intakes will not that be that major (this is my guess) ... People can correct me if i am wrong
For F18 hornet and super bug there are lot of changes on Airframe itself leave aside the s/w avionics , weapons package etc etc.. I dont think there is such extensive change in Tejas.. Our avionics are changing which will go into AMCA and we will be adding 1 or 2 weapons package more thats all...

Ra's correct me if i am wrong
You are wrong about it. Rectangular exhaust means that the fuselage will be redesigned to house it along with the wing area. It is not mandatory to have rectangular exhausts because F 18E/F has them. The aerodynamics and wind resistance will change. As the F 414 is a larger engine the aft fuselage must be changed to accomodate the engine.
