8v Downpipe
« on: 29 June 2006, 20:54 »
Hi there
I need a stanard 8v digi downpipe.  However the local VW stealership wants £169 bucks!!
Does anyone know if this is correct or whether or not GSF one is any good

Local exhaust centre charged £92 and would have done free fitting too if the car had been on the road. He was alright and threw in a set of hangers for the system, clamps and replacement nuts as well. Worth a try!

Hi there
I know that I don't need a brand new one but i have had some very mixed results buying 2nd hand stuff.  I have heard thta vw ones last for years and wondered if anyone had personal experiences of the alternative choices :smiley:
