Alright, I'm after full turbo back exhaust as recently got ko3s fitted and want to upgrade to spec2 remap but due to standart exhaust limitation couldn't do it at the time. Been looking at my options, and the best price quoted was by R-Tech, which was for Miltek £820 and Jetex £680. Another option is to go for custom exhaust which comes around half the price.
After searching on here, came across one thread from Nav, who got custom exhaust fitted which he is quite happy with.
Contacted TipTop Performance (http://tiptopperformance.co.uk/) and i'm surprised with the price they offered for full turbo back exhaust with 3" downpipe :shocked: :shocked:
Need suggestions/advice for what option to go for and what combination you will go for if you want custom exhaust.
-
Rhyso has a custom exhaust - he is very happy with it :smiley:
-
Try blueflame or pipewerx! they are both sh!t hot and are good systems!
Pipewerx are the best in the country at making VAG exhausts, Ian birch really knows his stuff! They could probably beat a price of £820 and they are immense exhaust systems!

I've been quoted £350 fitted for full turbo back exhaust (custom ofcourse) :lipsrsealed: :lipsrsealed:
I don't think anyone can beat that :laugh:
-
if they're local to you, and offer a long warranty then go for it
i assume that's de-catted not a sports cat?
-
its kind of local as i visit birmingham every other week anyway. I'm going to contact them and see what includes in this price. what should i go for?
3" downpipe
sports cat
sorry but my knowledge is limited, need expertise to input please
-
3" d/pipe, sports cat, centre pipe, axle pipe and back box
you need to make sure they include a welded bung for the lambda sensor in roughly the same position/angle as the oem one.
-
where bouts is this £350 quote from ? im looking at the same thing , i was quoted £600 for " turbo back at exhaust.uk up in sheffield
-
edit - just seen the link lol sorry
-
3" d/pipe, sports cat, centre pipe, axle pipe and back box
you need to make sure they include a welded bung for the lambda sensor in roughly the same position/angle as the oem one.
when i contacted tiptop, i specifically mentioned full turbo back exhaust system with 3" downpipe so i'm assuming the price they quoted me includes all this. I'll give them a ring again tomorrow in morning to confirm whats included. Thanks for that mate!!
-
This is interesting as i'm in the process of looking at upgrading from the standard exhaust system.
I think the only company that makes systems to your spec is RSR south of the Thames.
-
you got any link to their website mate??
Also which rear valance i should go for. I think 4motion and anniversary are the options but one of them is very cheap compare to the another one. Anyone got part numbers for both please and i'll check the prices with local dealers tomorrow
-
It turns out that RSR just sell'em, the real name is http://www.powerflowexhausts.co.uk/
-
Can anyone post rear valance options and their part numbers please
-
I quite like this style: http://cgi.ebay.co.uk/ws/eBayISAPI.dll?ViewItem&item=330390995760&ssPageName=STRK:MEWAX:IT as it has the discrete tailpipes, i wonder if an aftermarket company like the ones named could do this?
Save messing with the rear bumper.

Just sorted everything with the tiptop performance. Full turbo back exhaust i.e. 3" d/pipe, sports cat, centre pipe, axle pipe and back box for £387. They going to use T304 stainless steel to build one and I got choice to select tip from 12 available. :afro:
Also lifetime warranty for it (as long as I own the car). Shame the day they can book me I can't make it. Need to sort this as soon as possible.
-
What cell cat are thay giving you mate? is it 100 or 200?
Thats not a bad price for the hole lot.

Just saw this thread....try Torqueflow in small heath, birmingham...
http://www.torqueflow.co.uk/
Have seen some of the work he has done, top quality.
-
just sent them an email, see what price they give
-
There are 3 boxes, front, middle and back. what pros/cons are if i remove middle one. Does it gives any extra benefit or will it cause MOT failiure. :lipsrsealed:

middle is just a silencer so by removing that you'll make it louder
Decatting the car is an MOT failure
-
what if i get resonated to make it quiter but still remove middle box??
-

the middle box is the resonated part no? :huh:
-
:embarassed: :embarassed: :embarassed: :embarassed:
this mean when you get non-resonated, they remove the middle box then :undecided:

Finally day has come for custom exhaust fitting. :cool:
Well chuffed with the result, performance wise. Even though its louder than I expected. 3" pipe all the way from turbo to backbox. :afro:
Waiting for my ko3s to come back and once fitted, hopefully going to upgrade to spec2 map

Good price that!
-

-
Looks nice, can you get a vid up so we can hear what it sounds like..?
-
I will upload video soon
-
looks nice mate.. there good chaps they are.. did you make them play around till you got the sound you wanted? :grin:
i may be popping down again get de-cat done and downpipe done.. but worried about lamba senors :undecided:
-
Yeah we checked sounds on various stages, I was quite happy but while driving back, it feels loud!!
-
Looks nice, though it sticks out a little too far. Slightly shorter tailpipe would be spot on :smiley:
Booked in for stage 2 yet mate? :cool:
-
Nice mate looks spot on and the price seams really good to :smiley:
-
Looks good :afro:
-
i wanna see a under the car photo so see what the whole system looks like.
was you not upgrading to a bigger turbo or was that someone else?
-

I will try to take picture from under the car. I considered hybrid option but then its getting too expensive as few other bits are required before it can be fitted. So decided to stay with simple ko3s
-
what was wrong with the K03s in the end?
-
Seals were leaked :cry:

Personally mate I would have had the anni rear valance fitted first then they could have mounted it in the cut out would have looked alot better. Glad your pleased with it though mate :cool:

I might look on eBay if i can sell 4motion valance I bought which was not required :lipsrsealed:
-
any news on a vid mate, as i have been thinking about gettina system done with these (ref mr mav's good word) if you give good reviews, i will have to some more thinking!! :undecided:
-

-

3" pipe all the way with sports cat, non-resonated
-

car on ramp
-
that is a good price i was looking at miltek site and the largest bore they do is 3in d/p with high flow cat and the rest is 2.75in and thats a :shocked: £997 quid inc fitting rip off i think!
-
Nice, I'd want something a little quieter though, and twin pipe.
-
no offense but IMO twin pipe is too common :lipsrsealed:
-
id have it stealth, dont like pipes showing on the mk4 except r32 style is ok i guess, looks balanced
-
Each to their own mate, certainly no offence. Given the choice R32 pipes look even better :laugh:
-
NIge, make sure you got for resonated :lipsrsealed:
-
ye i think i will have the res version :grin:
-
sounds nice m8 :wink: i like the single exit exhaust !! everyone has a twin :undecided:
-
would it make much differrence if i was to get a res version, and 2.5 inch bore? or is 3 best for performance upgrades?
-
Resonated will make it quiter but then I don't see the reason of getting 3" bore :undecided:
wait for experts to put in their thoughts though :lipsrsealed:
-
so if was to get a rex, you wouldnt bother with 3" bore? :undecided:
have you noticed any performance gains... do you have to have a map with a sports cat or is it just wiv decat you need to do that?
-
I was running custom map after installing ko3s, couldn't go spec2 cause of standard exhaust restriction. Now got full turbo back exhaust so hopefully going back sometime next week for spec2 as soon as my turbo comes back from rebuild.
-
just thought id post video of mine too :evil: (sorry sh!t video quality)
mine is more deep toned :wink:

You missed the 4motion valance in 3rd pic mate. I bought 4motion rear valance which was not required, so now its up for grabs :tongue:
