Hi Guys
I want to buy this exhaust http://www.ebay.co.uk/itm/VW-Golf-Mk4-2-0-GTi-Sportex-Performance-Exhaust-inc-Race-Tube-Single-3-/291059437986?pt=UK_CarsParts_Vehicles_CarParts_SM&hash=item43c47e91a2 however im unsure if it will fit my anni valance cut out correctly, iv done a few google's and can see that some Sportex exhausts go straight under the bumper and valance like this:
(http://img713.imageshack.us/img713/8615/img20120829164820.jpg) and other dont.
I've ask the guy selling them and he said:
"The tailpipe will fit into the 'cut out' on an Anniversary rear apron.
To my knowledge the apron on an Anniverary model hangs below the line of the original rear bumper.. So the cut-out it present to allow the fitment of a standard type exhaust.. To a certain extent then the amount the tailpipe hangs below the bumper is dependant upon how worn the mounting rubbers are..
If you are sensative on this issue I would suggest that you purchase a different item, as I cannot guarantee exactly where the tailpipes will within 25mm or so..
Thanks for understanding."
Is this true ^^^

think it will sit lower (the exhaust) so wont look right :undecided:
-
F**k it !! :cry: :cry:
have you got any ideas on what exhaust will fit? (iv been searching for days) iv got the slowwww 2.0 gti

Buy the sportex one and modify it.

I have that same exhaust, i cut a neat curve in the bumper and it sits perfectly, it takes a lot of unbolting and bolting back up to get it perfect but once it's done it sounds great and pops and bangs a treat!!
-
Go local exhaust place and get a custom one made. 3" inward rolled tip will look good with anni valance..

that exhaust looks great on lb5n colour. wondered how mine owuld look with a single tip not twin now i like that. who made that?
-
It makes it worse that there's only two shades of Indigo Blue as well :grin:
-
If you mean mine dave its a custom exhaust.. with my choice of tip..tried to get closest to anni tip as i can :grin:
I never seen the point in buying these brand name exhausts custom is wayyy cheaper and get the sound an look you want :smiley:
