Title: mk3 8v - Exhaust options?
Post by: Bazzer on 01 October 2006, 12:00: Well I'm finally sick to f*kin death of staring at a risty turd sticking out of the ass of my car and I can't see the point in getting an original one again only for it to do the same. So I think a stainless one is in order.

Trouble is I'm a picky fecker and I don't want a noisy one, and the tip has to be round, twin slash cut and not much bigger than the original. So I was thinking of powerflow, but then I thought I'd ask (again!!) here to see if anyone has any other opinions?

On my old mk2 I had a Mongoose which looked fine but was really heavy, and kept breaking. And it was so loud it gave me earache. I want silence from it, and just a small amount to look good......

Must add.... I got married this year and fund's since then has taken a severe drop and my golf has taken a secondment to my life!!!!

Post by: nitro on 09 October 2006, 10:04: dont know where you are in the country but you may find a custom exhaust maker nearby.. thats what i did, you can chose how loud, how big and i suppose how much - to a degree. usually these guys use stainless and aren't any more expensive than an off the shelf.
