I bought mine from GSF, It was about £36 - it seems pretty cool, well I haven't had any problems anyway and its been on there nearly a year.

GSF, sounds good, does it sound as it should, ie don't want a load boy racer exhaust with the whole street looking at me as I go by:), the car is completely standard.

Thank you for the advice

The replacement part from GSF is completely standard.

I get called a chav all the time for driving a 20 year old Golf GTI and mines is almost completely standard! Everyone is as narrow minded as the next in todays world.

Cheers  :grin:

the 8V and 16V back boxes are different apparently.

The 16V one from GSF has special chrome tail pipes and has a 2 year guarantee.

I was very happy with it for £55. Took about an hour to fit.
