    There's no cat in any UK spec 16V, they have an extra silencer in the downpipe that isn't there on the 8V, making a total of 4.

    The standard vw exhausts are pretty good, most of the BBR and other VW tuners of the 80s and 90s got plenty of power from their cars without fitting a new exhaust.

    our cars are a little special coz they're UK imports we legally dont need to have cats

    Its a standard system except the rear box, makes it sounds like a drone.
    i had the same problem driving to canberra, using music to drown out the exhaust is never a good idea.

    my old cabrio had the borla muffler and i loved it, so im going for something louder this time, or really chirpy! like this i found on youtube

    but hamza, if i get my muffler taken off you can put it on yours, instead of the other rear box you have
