Aftermarket Muffler's

[Bflat]

Hey gang,

I'm wanting to conduct a little vox pop as to what aftermarket mufflers people are utilising at the moment and whether there are any suggestions to be made as to what I should look for when chosing mine.

Feel free to list:

• whether you purchased yours for aural pleasure or for performance gains.
• how much coin you didn't spend on your significant other to afford yourself such a luxury
• where you got the work carried out.

Thanks y'all.

nice, very interested in following this as I still have a STD muffler.
Dont want to hijack your thread, but it may be nice to expand to inlcude downpipes as well ???
My reason for a STD muffler is to keep the noise levels more manageable...I would chnage this if there was a significnat performance gains, of which I have been told not.

I've already upgraded my downpipe so i'm not all that interested in the other options available for that part.

I was of the same thought, keep the standard muffler to keep a relatively stock sound, however i'm somewhat over that now and would like a bit more noise for the morning commute

Hiya! long time no speak from me. Been ridiculously busy and consequently am selling the Gti ...

But on topic; If you remember my car man, i had the rear muffler changed and the sound was still bone quiet, so i had it lopped off and some stainless steel pipe with tips put on and it made a sweet noise, still ridiculously quiet. I bring that down to the early model middle muffler and probably the well tuned exhuast VW made, so i would say lop it off and have pipe made up like mine did and i think yours would be the sexiest sounded GTI out there!

off topic - still selling bro?

Nah I think i'll keep it as a long term project and get back into it when I return to Australia at the end of '13.

Why are you selling yours?

[MattyVW]

Hey man, good to hear your more dedicated than I am. I'm moving into the city and have too many cars to play with and I just wont use it so, its gotta go

Nice thread Ryan,

I'd like to find this out too as I'm considering changing the muffler purely for a bit more sound

The muffler I put on was Redback, sounded the same as stock, thats why my exhaust guy and I lopped off the muffler completely.

i can probably get you one and post it to you for under 150?
