Put your kids for adoption and divorce your wife?








Just an idea....

Big bore says boy racer so id say go for the twin pipe or if moneys an issue you could always look on the sites classified for a second hand system where you could get a quality brand for a good price. OK the exhaust mite be dirty but there fairly easy to clean up and come out looking brand new. Just an idea  :smiley:

Not my cup of tea but everyones got their own. I am using a sportex system just now. Was kinda panic buy as i just wanted that exhaust sound at the time. Now that ive looked around ive got myself booked in for a Milltek in January. A lot of folk say whats the point in mines but its for sound and look imo. Once i sell it on i can easily remove the cat back system and theres plenty of guys on uk-mkivs who would jump at it.

So as above dont buy cheap lol. Save up and get a Milltek as plenty of them here would say!  :tongue:

them ebay backboxes are CRAP! no other word describe them and the amount your gonna have to spend on getting brackets and stuff just to make it fit will come near enough to a custom cat back system :wink:

A half decent cat back with straight through pipe, custom made was 280 for me mate and sounded loads better than the crappy milteks everyone raves about, i sold my miltek and yeh it did the job looked the part gave extra power but there made for people who just want better gas flow and not a loud note. Go custom  :smiley: might even get it cheaper! OR just find a backbox made to fit a mk4 and do it yourself

All depends what YOU like. For me a Milltek has the perfect note - I would not have it any louder!  :smiley:

The beauty of custom is you can choose the note  :cool:

Ive got one like second pic, and mine was originally for a punto   :lipsrsealed:

Had it welded on to fit, and built the system back off of it and am happy as larry.

Dont give a flying sausage what anyone else thinks, i love it  :grin:

Pulled up abit now, but car lower on coilovers, so about the same  :laugh:

Mine has the box bit, and the tips are only about 3 inches long. So box is literally right behind valance.

I dont care, i like it, loud and proud   :rolleyes:
