    2.5 inch originally bought off e-bay not sure how much, but I then purchased it off my friend before he sold his golf.

    it just needed a slight adjustment and the bottom lip of the firewall need to be bent ever so slightly. all of which was done after I took the car around the block 4 a test drive once fitted. I'd hardly say LHD downpipes don't work on RHD cars and I haven't had any problems with it.

    I Forgot to mention after thinking about, make sure you get an aftermarket dogbone mount as the stock one will cause knocking, only reason I haven't had any major issues was because I uprated mine long before I installed the downpipe.

    Carline make fantastic custom exhausts. A custome exhaust using Lukey super turbo mufflers will be way cheaper than an import system and far superior to a remus. Remus is just a name. Their products are lacking.
    My NA 2.0L 8v Mk3 Golf is faster than my 174kw twin turbo Supra. V8 utes and over modified Skylines hate being overtaken by old Golfs
