1. you can either remove the wiper and fit a simple aerial bung (halfords £2) or if you really want to keep the wiper I believe a later polo smooth arm fits (or there is a place on ebay that sells the full kit)

2. golfgti.co.uk then click the shop bit

3. if you keep the middle box most will stay quite (I had a volkspares type fitted and below 4000rpm she was quiet) or try jetex for best quality and low noise

Sorry to hijack but it's kinda relevant, my centre section broke the other day and off came my back box which was a no name twin round tailpipe (looked good but that's about it) the car sounds exactly the same and runs exactly the same. I looked into the box the other day and it's empty? I can see right through it! Is that right? It is running sluggish and I'm in the process of getting it serviced but do you think that it's gonna run better with a standard exhaust on it? If so what's the point in just having a back box?

most sports back boxes are straight through type...so its quite normal

What about back pressure?

thats why sports exhausts give that bit more power, they reduce back pressure so the gas flows faster. but changing the back pressure also increases the power range (so you'll find a bit more power but higher on the revs!)
