I have heard these exhaust before and ther are pretty loud most of the time. With the standard boxes it should be ok but on motorways it might get a little teadious.

I've got a proper dilemma... Do I buy this exhaust, or stay stock. Buying this one will save me lots of cash, but I dont want it to affect my performance negatively - or sound like a jet engine. What to do?!  :undecided:

Why do you think that it would negatively affect performance ? It might just be a raspy exhaust note which isn't a bad thing. You should hear my Rallye dude, it's loud as and I love it. :grin:

I'm seriously tempted to buy it. I've heard about these systems not fitting properly though, and haven't magnex gone bust? Also, how much is a standard VW made exhaust system.

ive got the same exhaust without the mid box and makes a low burble noise when not caning it, but when you open it up it sounds very meaty, not chavvy or jap noise at all, just about right in my oppinion!!

Thanks mate. Is it easy to fit? I know some 'performance' exhausts can be a bit of a pain.

its actually very easy to fit, just make sure where it goes onto the downpipe is very tight as they tend to slip and it puts the backbox out of line. im sure you'll be very happy with it, and if your feeling extra naughty a K&N panel filter is a good addition!
