Anyone know any good places to get a "near OEM" back box?

yeah i've had it on the car a couple of weeks now :) the only thing to mention is as you can see the stainless tips are just tack welded in a couple of places which means the exhaust can sound a little blowy, i'm gonna get someone to weld mine all the way round at some point, but apart from that it's great :D

I should have gone to Euro parts as they have a near OEM ones for a fraction of the cost vw charge (hard to get hold of vw ones btw)

euro parts ones come with the chrome tips

Thanks Mr Blue, I'll check them out. Looking to get near OEM as possible (particularly for sound)
Your motor looking as good as ever, quite a bit better then my BBM  :sad:

I wish I had found the one on e-bay - I ended up going OE from the dealers. Even with a massive discount it was close to £140 - ouch!
