That's what I'm thinking! I was looking at sourcing a stainless vband flange and nice big flexjoint. I'd much prefer a big unrestricted downpipe opposed to just cat back exhaust. Why not both ehh! *mexican family dancing* 3" all the way through?

and the beauty is that with a gt1749vc it still uses vband to bolt up to the downpipe. Would have to buy a flange and mod the downpipe later if I was to end up getting a gtb2260vk which I'm thinking would just be overkill anyway... Still got some investigating and thinking to do. Realistically it won't happen for a while if it ever does. I'm hoping the tune will give me some punch and then I'll leave it alone. + I have a spare factory turbo anyway haha so can't even use the excuse of if mine goes bust! lol

I just don't want the exhaust to be noisy. The drone from the 2.5" on my last vr6 have me nightmares. My own fault though!

you wont get much noise with the stock turbo on there, dont worry.

Yeah did a fair amount of YouTube stalking this arvo. They don't sound too bad at all 3" turbo back straight through. Might just add a muffler though to be sure.

Exhaust and tune and leave it alone.

Maybe put some $$ towards GTI brakes and headlights!

Agreed Woody. After a lot of research I can't be bothered and it ends up too pricey to do it right. Will just get my tune done and play with wheels.

Even upgrading brakes is an effort as I need a whole new hub setup and then will need new front suspension. (this is the 50mm setup opposed to most mk5s being 55mm) Not wasting coin on silly things like fancy headlights!
