please dont laugh at my question....

[VW gIrL]

Hello to everybody

I want to replace my exhaust system and want to buy the Borla brand from the States. They dont have a replacement system for my car so i have to buy individual parts. I am new to all this and very confused.

I have decided to go for a 2" option as I don't want the car to roar. Having said that though, do all the parts I get have to be the same size. For example.....

Pipe = 2"
Catalytic Converter = 2" (both inlet and outlet)
Muffler = 2" (both inlet and outlet)
Resonator = 2" (both inlet and outlet)
Exhaust Tip = 2" (both inlet and outlet)

It just doesn't make sense to me because if everything above was 2", how would they fit/connect with each other when putting it together? I am really confused and I would really much appreciate if you could clear this up for me.

You don't have to buy a foreign exhaust for your car, there are high quality systems to be had here in australia! Thats basically every part of he car's exhasut minus the extractors. Buying a foreign exhaust is risky, its very messy if they give you a faulty or poorly made system, close to impossible to chase up.

2inch is pretty small as well, go for a 3 inch one made locall for around $1500 bucks fitted for a decent performance one. Also, you can have a 3 inch tip witha 2 inch pipe going from the tip to the muffler and the muffler going to a 2 inch pipe. People often get larger rear mufflers to increase the level of sound.

How much are these systems by the way?

thanks for that Golf Houso. The only reason I want the Borla brand is because I have read nothing but good things about it, plus its the biggest selling exhaust brand in America...........apparently. Also, it says that its made by aircraft-quality austenitic stainless steel. Maybe that's me being gullible but it sure sounds appealing. Besides, my brother said he will pay for it.

See, i don't want my car to roar when i drive it, maybe just a growl How about 2.25" instead of 2"?

I'm now more confused.........what would be the best size to get if i was going for a 2.25' system.

Pipe = ?"
Catalytic Converter = ?" (both inlet and outlet)
Muffler = ?" (both inlet and outlet)
Resonator = ?" (both inlet and outlet)
Exhaust Tip = ?" (both inlet and outlet)

Why do you want an exhaust on a 1.6? If your not looking for sound are you looking for performance?

Welcome Vw girl. Where are you located?

Vw girl, save your money.

Unless your exhaust is falling off there will be no benefit from fitting one. If you want a quality performance system I'd get yourself a secondhand GTI system. It'll flow better than your std one and will last for ages. VW systems are really well made.

The ends of the pipes are flared to fit over each other when connected.

Thanks for the welcome all For those of you that have asked I am from Melbourne, eastern suburbs.

Spyda,
I am looking for both sound and performance. People tell me that i shouldnt be expecting much in performance but both performance and sound is going to be better than what i currently.

h100vw,
My brother is paying for it because he's nice like that I understand your GTI idea but I wouldve assumed that all decent aftermarket performance exhausts are a lot better than a standard one

If anyone is wondering why I am not asking my brother these questions its because he doesnt want to tell me. He says that he would like for me to learn all this stuff because it might come in handy........dont know how Plus, me learing all this stuff is a condition for him paying for it.
