Title: 1.8t Golf Gti - Turbo back exhaust
Post by: Gary022 on 07 August 2012, 19:38

Looking for a complete stainless steel system for me to fit at home seeing as my current standard exhaust will need changing in the near future.

ive had a look on ebay but i can mostly only find cat back systems.

anyone know of any other good value suppliers or should i just consider standard to cat then cat back after.

Cheers Gary.

Cheers , been looking at some and almost all are saying I need a stage 2 remap.

is this 100% necessary or is it just for optimum improvements because I was considering getting a stainless exhaust mainly so I don't have to worry about it, and the performance factors that come with them is just a boost ( no pun intended ). I don't really want to get a remap as of yet due to it affecting my years warranty I received from the garage.


any suggestions?

turbo back you will more than likely need your cat put back on come mot time and dont tell the garage about the map and the warranty will be fine and you dont need a remap to have an exhaust fitted but would benefit more performance when it comes to getting it mapped  :wink:

yeah dont plan on removing the cat and it sounds like the exhaust needs the remap and the remap needs the exhaust lol

 :grin: just get a cat back system you should be fine with out the map and it will ever so slightly increase performance due to a better flow that the standard system lacks

no need to map a car after fitting an exhaust what so ever matey! Whoever told you that is full of sh!t.

the exhaust will benefit the car for sure, it'll flow better and sound great, but there is certainly no requirement to map it to suit or anything, it'll just mean you're better prepared for when you do have it mapped.
