Does any know lol?

2.25" from memory.

What are you looking at getting?

well i havnt heard to many polo with systems on them so i dunno what would be well suited<
probably 2.5 cat back system i guess, even though most people tell me the systems are pretty well spec'd up anyway having a sportier system on them only just needing to change the massive sound restrictive mufflers
soo really quite stuck

I always read that the full exhaust isn't the issue on our cars, it is the DP ... Milltek run a nice system, by nice I mean the sound of it - youtube clips are around - but it costs a pretty penny.

?....but it costs a pretty penny.

If you buy in Australia... Got a Quote for the Miltek dump pipe from the UK for less than $620 AUD delivered. It's a big difference from the $950 to $1250 I got quoted for the same item here in Australia.

The stock system is pretty good. Depending on what year model you have, you will either have 2 mufflers (05/06), or one muffler (07+) in using the large catalyst.

MADD...
so most people would be after a bigger dump pipe and a better airflow after market muffler being a 08 model?

Well the dump pipe is pretty much the only restriction. The only muffler on an 08 is right at the back of the car where the tips are. I think you would only get more sound if you replaced the muffler.

The other night I was talking to the valet at a hotel where I was staying in Melbourne. He was a VAG fan, and was wondering what kind of exhaust I had on my Polo. He was surprised when I told him that it was stock.
I have noticed when the exhaust gets some heat in it after a few hours driving that it gets a lot louder.

well ill just get a new dumpy and muffler then! hoping it should run and sound well..

I bought a used APR DP a month or two ago from the classifieds section on here.
I've yet to install it though because it needs a software adjustment which i'll have done when I chip it.
I'm pretty happy with the stock exhaust and I've been told the DP doesn't make it too loud.
