Quiet 8v exhaust... any recommendations?

[tony_ack]

Okay, I think I know what I'm going to do.

Paul - I'd love a full VAG system, but unfortunately VW don't stock them any more - just the back box.

I think I'm going to go for the VAG back box with a GSF front and mid silencer (the better quality ones). I'm hoping that the exisiting downpipe will fit in okay - if not, then I'll have to look into that too (I'd rather not, as they're 89+Vat).

I would consider a supersprint 2-silencer mid section to go with the VAG backbox instead if I could find one, and the price was reasonable.

Thanks for the advice - I'm going to wait until payday, so if anyone else has any suggestions, feel free to put them forward!

thats strange. there not showing as obselete on etka.   i think the best bet be supersprint front, mid, and then oe vw back box

Have just ordered a back box and mid silencer from VAG. The guy said all the exhaust sections are now obsolete, and VAG only have four of each of the rear and mid silencer sections left in stock (three now!). All other bits are out of stock and discontinued. So get in quick if you want them!

Find it so depressing that so many parts are now discontinued or indefinately out of stock.

Budget was £300, but so far the backbox and mid silencer have come to £130 (inc). I think I may stick with the existing downpipe if I can - I can't see it adding much to the noise level

My local exhaust centre do the full OEM 8v GTi system for £120 fitted.

Mines a bit of a hack, I've got a standard downpipe, powerflow centre and scorpian mid and back - I think. Won it for £15 on eBay, can't argue with that for a stainless steel exhaust!

I'll record it for you later on today.

You'll need a subwoofer (or semi decent speakers) or you won't hear much

Though if I had the choice, I'd have this sound coming out my car - I love this exhaust tone!
