I'm a nube so don't know if sound is same for both cat-back and full (e.g. full improves performance but no additional sound benefit above cat-back)???

    If your mechanic at Hi Tech will do one for that price I'd be keen. I have fallen victim to the mod disease for the first time so it's all new and cash hungry for me (but fun).

    My car is in shop having grill painted gloss black. If I get it back before Sunday I'll try to head to Fox Studios.

    New 19' VMR wheels just arrived and are also being painted gloss black. Now have to figure out what 235-35-19 tires to buy and where.

    Did your car come with the sporty, flat bottom steering wheel like in Golf R's?
    Haha - that disease is so easy to catch - i know i have caught it - but haven't done anything yet...that will change soon. Here is a clip for a supersprint cat back:

    I am sure the guys at Hi-tech will honour that price - i just called and they gave that to me - i haven't started negotiating yet..haha. I keep hearing from everyone that the 3.6L produces such a great exhaust note with the right cat back...and in my opinion the R36 (or in your case CC) is too quite from factory when compared to R32 or Golf R.

    I am going to get 19" VMR wheels as well...which ones did you end up getting - i am thinking V710's.

    Yeh the steering wheel has a bit of a flat bottom - but not as flat as the Golf R. It is a little thicker i think that the R though.

    P.S. Is your car a matte grey CC? Was it at Ramspeed a couple of weeks ago? I was in there and saw it - and if so - mate that is one sweet car....looks great. I am considering wrapping my car in the same colour...just got to save up!!

    Who has an R36?

    Sounds so good. This one too http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=eQDSewqE1gM&sns=em

    I blame Honda for my disease. The process began when drove my trashed 7 yr old CRV into dealer and asked to swap for a 2012 CRV. "Sorry. No stock in Aus. Thailand floods blah blah blah". So I had to investigate alternative vehicles. Logical that I ended up in a matt gray wrapped 3.6L 4Motion VW CC. WTF?

    I went with V708's . But I really like 710s (maybe more). Don't remind me.

    Matt wrap the most fun of it all. Will PM you details.

    Hi all,

    I have a blue R36 sedan and haven't done anything with it in almost 2 years. I heard a CAI would be worth while for throttle response. Anyone done one yet or can recommend a trusted mechanic to do one?

    Just putting some Michelin PS3's on soon and looking forward to the difference with the stock CSC3s

    Anyone know a good place to upgrade the audio? I have all options except the dynaudio.
