Err its an exhaust pipe :huh:
-
Personally I prefer the twin pipes but as long as its definitely for your car and not a "universal" one then go ahead mate.
Price v quality - well you always get what you pay for!
-
I would wait untill you can afford at least 200 squids for a decent exhaust mate.. You dont want it soundin like a chavved up corsa :sick: :grin:
-
100 sheets for a backbox??? :o
am i on the right sight??? :D i had a hole in my backbox, got my mate to weld it up...he just got a really long nail and welded it up :D:D:D:D:D:D:D proper bodge but saved me money and prevented the backbox falling off with the connecting pipe still on exhaust lmao
-
Surely you could pick up a second hand stainless system for a few more notes, i'd say hold on to your papers for a little longer.
-
thats the same as volksbits one
-
:-" i just got a CAT back scorpian stainless system off here for 120 notes
-
thats what/similar to what i have fitted....i say fitted!! as it needed an extra piece welded in as the bore is too small!! oh and it wont sit straight due to the backbox heat shield

i think eGay is your best freind...can find some pretty good stuff on there sometimes :D

well i need a new exhaust ASAP to get thorugh the MOT. And i dont fancy another standard, but to hell with spending 150-200+ on it.
And that is made for a 2l gti not 16v, so i guess it will fit fine.
And it is the volksbit one.
So is it really that bad?
-
its just a cheap exhaust ,get a 2nd hand one for the mot and save some pennys for a decent zaust

Hmmmm well its blowing, but im not even sure if its blowin from the box. Im just hoping it is! haha.
Is not that i have to save for it, i just cant justify that on an exhaust back box. its stupid, just for a lump of metal, my car only cost 900, so 200+ on the exhaust, just no!
-
i got mine made for 80 quid , if its blowing a lot get some zaust wrap on it and do as it says on the pack lol and let it to dry ,as long as its not broken 3 quarters the way round the wrap will work

-
mmmm its a tad to much hassle !!!
gona say look on ebay for a nice second hand set up ! or yep save up the notes :embarassed:

you can do this yourself by popping your palm briefly over the end of the zaust.... if its blowing/leaking you'll soon see where

Hmm i was guna buy it and take it to somewhere to be fitted.
HOw much would a tyre and exhaust place charge to fit an exhaust if you give them the box? Roughly.
My mate had exhaust, box and fitting for £37 on a fiesta!!! :shocked:

changing the box on a golf is easy :D got 2 rubber bushes that hold the 2 hangers...just push the bush on the further side of the hanger (use loads of wd40), then undo the clamp that holds the backbox, hit the pipe with a hammer so that it will move, and try to jiggle the box about (warning, make sure the car is secure on an axel stand as your legs will be under the car)...once the box starts to move move the other bush out of the way and pull the box off :D
now to refit its the same, slot the box and then put the bush closest to you back on the exhaust to hold it up and slot the backbox onto the exhaust as far as you can to make sure it is secure, then put the other bush on and align it but be carefull, when your aligning the box it will try to come off the rest of the exhaust so when your turning it, make sure you are keeping it on by pushing it back, then tighten the clamp
