Hi all

Im Owen, I bought a mk3 Golf GTI last week, only managed to get it on the road yesterday as it no MOT and needed a fair bit of work.

Its my 1st golf and ilready i can see why poeple love them!

Through working on over the past week i have discovered that its been lowered using coilovers, has a gas flowed head with race cam, and what seems could be a limited slip diff !!

Someone has spent ££££s on this thing!

It has a twin upswept exhaust fitted and a huge K&N Cone filter, as you can imagine its quite loud, dont get me wrong i like a good noise but this thing is a bit too much. Does anyone know of anyways to make it slightly quieter? I thought of getting a central silencer fitted as it doesnt have one, only the cat, can anyone tell me if this is possible?

Thanks all  :smiley:

Hey and welcome ,

Get some pics up, centre silencer should work. When you say race cam, how do you know and what make and grind?

Thanks, do you know here i can get a centre silencer?

I took my car to work, to show some mates, and 2 of the Lamborghini engineers had a good look around and listened to the engine and that what they came back with "a gas flowed head with a race cam", it might not have either but thats what ive been told  :smiley:

Check for exhaust fabricators near you, they should be able to help, or buy one and get it welded in place.
