any 1 got a screamer pipe on their gti?

i think i just heard a black gti with 1. wen it took off it sounded like a loud turbo was spooling up sorta. car looked stock.

Ah if it just sounded like a loud turbo it probably wasn't a screamer pipe.

They are unbelievably(!) loud and well, very illegal. Similar to a car with absolutely no exhaust at all (because well, thats basically what it is)

They also let exhaust fumes out before the cat and as such, anyone caught will be up for a $10,000 ~ $20,000 fine from the EPA, and thats before noise pollution etc etc.

A mate has one on his GTIR though and I must admit, it is nifty.

Basically - If your ears hurt it may have been a screamer pipe, if not - Its just a turbo running big boost and a large exhaust. I havent ever seen a screamer pipe on a VW.

Yes a screamer makes a horrible noise!!! Wow that would be interesting if it was one on the golf you saw!

the best one i've seen was on a mates 180, he ran its own 1" pipe out to the back of the car with a cat from a kei car. got epa'd and only copped a fine for it being too loud!
