    Yeah it's pretty obvious looking at the stock dump pipe that that's where the restriction is. The rest of the stock exhaust system looks pretty good. Landed at my door it was $1600. Couldn't recommend the service at Rennenhaus more
    Haven't heard about Lakeside in Dec, is there a VW thing or general public?

    $1600 isn't bad for the full system.
    My bits and bobs ended up around that price as well.

    See here for lakeside info:

    At the moment it is just a VW family thing that i am trying to organise however if we can't fill all the spaces then we can open it up to all brands.

    Sounds like fun
    After chasing some elusive vibrations and moving the muffler down, I discovered what I thought was the exhaust hitting the bumper was actually coming from some little vents in the spare wheel well. If you look in the spare wheel well back towards the rear of the car there's two vents with little flaps on them. The flaps were.. flapping Sounded like a vibration when your driving. I've removed the flaps and all is well (easy enough to put back in if I have to). Does anyone know what purpose these serve?

    They are over pressure vents for when you close the doors on the car. They are like one way valves, so that when you close the door, the air vents out though these, but they don't allow exhaust gasses back into the car.

    Hmmm.. I thought it might be keeping the exhaust gasses out. Seems odd that they'd be flapping around from the exhaust though, unless it was creating some kind of pulsating vacuum :/ See how I go.. if I get smoked out I might have to figure something out I'm finally loving my exhaust with no rattles/vibrations!

    Is the muffler the same fitment as stock one, I like the look of the standard twin pipes.

    They're pretty much identical, just bigger and better I love the dual tips
    I've dropped the muffler down a bit now so it sits in the same position as the stocker.

    Mine is doing exactly the same thing. Did you have to take bumper off to get to the vents?
