Title: Now for Exhaust.....
Post by: Dannyboy90 on 30 March 2010, 11:57: Guys,

I'd like to get a nice LOOKING exhaust for my 1.8T. However, I really can't have it loud because of my daughter, is it possible to get nice uprated exhaust / backboxes which are just for pure looks? (If it's a little bit louder thats fine, but it really really can't be to loud)

Also I don't want something silly like a massive 5" pipe, want something small and subtle :)

Yep, what he said. Take your pick of looks, single Anni style one, dual V6 one. Resonated isnt too loud either :)

Don't see the point in splashing out on a brand name if you only want it for style

They may be able to modify your current backbox thus retaining the OEM sound you already have

Worth phoning around and getting some quotes :afro:

If so a nice Milltek cat back system will be fine for you. even a non resonated system isnt very loud compared to the stupid peco back boxes chav's put on there car.

The benifit of a milltek also is its stainless steel and is a quality make. worth there money.

Most places use the same quality stainless steel :wink:

I saved over £50 by getting one made as opposed to a ready fit Milltek :smiley: And i get the same lifetime gurantee
