full system? how much?

and personally i would use a jetex system as i've heard the welds are better than milltek, but other than that millteks are still excellent exhausts

Full turbo back exhaust is the way to go. Speak to Nick at R-tech he would be able to sort you out with one - he's based in Hinkley, Leicestershire. heard nothing but good things about him, he would be able to give you advice. and if you are after performance, definately get a remap after the exhaust unless you have plans to mod further - you have the KO3 turbo rather than the later KO3s, so you could expect to see power figures of around the 190bhp mark, about a 40bhp increase.

Use the search facility, i'm pretty sure there have been loads of threads on the exhaust debate.

Anni - Anniversay golf - the ones that are standard with 18" wheels, only a limited number of these were made - so when he says anni style - he means the exhaust is the style of the one off the anniversay edition mk4 gti.

4motion - 4motion golf - has a different rear valance for standard twin pipes - different to the 1.8T

hope all this info helps and isnt too much to take in... :smiley:

H&S are pricey, are they not.

A few of my mates have them fitted to their 911's and I think they are overrated for the cost.

you can get them off ebay but then you will have to pay fitting... look on r-tech, last time i looked they were doing special price on a full turbo back system. expect to pay about £700-£800 for the full system, est £400 for cat back.

my yaris was deadly loud at 70, but nearly silent at just over 70? go figure.

it had a flipping loud hks box, only a 3 inch tailpipe

and if its too loud, sound deaden the boot, that helps loads
