Exhaust for 1.8T New Beetle

[razz]

Looking into a turbo-back exhaust for NB turbo.

Is the APR kit good? Any worthwile alternatives?

Approx what should I pay for that - installed?


Current mods are APR stage 1 flash and hi flow filter in stock CAI

you could always buy my BB catback and get a shop to fabricate a custom 2.5-3" downpipe
see sig

APR and BB are alledgedly the same

But is that a direct-fit for the NEw Beetle?

Engine etc is obviously the same, but im not sure if the undertray of the NB is the same as the Golf GTI.

You'd have to confirm, but i checked ECS's exhausts for the golf and the beetle, and they appear to have the identical APR exhaust listed under both:
Volkswagen Golf IV 1.8T > Exhaust > Turbo Back > ES#11921 Turbo-Back Exhaust System, 2.5" Fully Polished - FE100006
Volkswagen New Beetle 1.8T > Exhaust > Turbo Back > ES#11921 Turbo-Back Exhaust System, 2.5" Fully Polished - FE100006

Obviously there is a RHD and LHD issue with the downpipe, but at least on the golf, the catback for LHD is identical to that for RHD.
Can't see why there would be any problems in that regards to the beetles, but you might want to confirm that for yourself.
Or i'm sure someone else here knows.
