Title: Another exhaust question
Post by: stfc_gti on 09 March 2012, 12:28
I've tried asking the sellers on ebay but havent heared back form them, so basicly im looking at getting this cat back
http://www.ebay.co.uk/itm/GOLF-MK4-EXHAUST-SCORPION-NON-RES-CAT-BACK-TWIN-OVAL-/330535272727?pt=UK_CarsParts_Vehicles_CarParts_SM&hash=item4cf5700117
Will it fit nicely with the 4 motion rear valance?

last thing i want is for the tail pipe ends to be too wide.

Thanks, in advace,

i've read quite a few things about problems with the scorpion exhaust fitting right with the rear 4mo, so i think im gonna pay a bit more and get a milltek, as i know these fit properly

this

resonated has a silencer on it, so doesn't give that meaty sound, why anyone would want to get a resonated one i dont know. (no offence jockgti)
Title: Re: Another exhaust question
Post by: jockgti on 11 March 2012, 20:17
resonated isn't quiet just a bit more subdued

How local u been looking, take into count if you were buying miltek for 350 and u custom would be 200 then you save 150 quid, I'm sure you can go a fair distance in travel and still save money, and also make a day off it.nice long drive home to get to know your shiney new exhaust :p
