mk2 gti exhaust upgrades

[evorobin]

Personally I think the induction noise on the vw motors is a better thing than the exhaust note. So I'd like a relatively quiet free flowing exhaust with some nice induction modifications.

I have a nearly new K&N cold Induction set-up for the digi mk2. Only reason it was taken off was the k-jet for the new 16v motor. $100 + shipping

Wow nice chief. Anyone got modded KR exhaust manifold or downpipe I'd like to see em!

ok so some of you have back box and hotdog, some of you like it really quiet.....

im thinking...

back box

hotdog

cat

2.25 inch pipes
in the reverse order...haahah

pete, i reckon you need the cat, for sure, the one we have will be fine. so its just up to you whether you wanna use a second muffler or just have one muffler, hotdog and cat.

i'd say with the 2.25 inch pipe, you'll get maybe a louder note down low but it'd be fairly quiet above 2500 rpm

thats the same size exhaust im running on my car with a 16v kr motor ide advise on putting a muffler up the middle running a hot dog then a backbox right at the end gives ua very loud exhaust note sounds sweet as though i love it but rattles my next door neighbours windows when i start it lol dont like them anyway, hope this helps

Drove the golf home from work late last night (since KR was in) and the wife said it woke her up. She advised I take her car when working late LOL

I've got the same nosiness with my car and it's totally standard apart from a different rear muffler which isn't that small. I think one hot dog a nice muffler at the rear and mabye something small where the suitcase one used to go.

I got pulled up about the noise whilst parking the Golf up outside my house the other night.

Maybe there is some truth in it being too noisey? ;0)

i cant believe that you can be too noisey

.... that is, unless its because you have a fart can on the end of your otherwise standard exhaust.... death to dumpers and cannons!

Make sure you loose the big rectangular silencer (the suitcase) though. It seriously restricts flow and the car will sound and go bettre without it.

This being the big square fella right at the end?
