^^^ Standard sport cats are 200 cell, I opted for the 100 cell race cat on mine old one and this passed the mock mot emissions test :smiley:

The Akrapovic slip-on's sound like a more practical idea.
The same performance gain as a cat back (none) and roughly the same price and yet they won't upset a dealer when the car goes in for a service as the exhaust is still a VW one  :tongue: Bargain when you think about it!!!  :grin:

Sport cats will pass the MOT, decats won't  :wink:
And you wanted a cost effective idea and that's my idea  :tongue:
I was under the impression some of the 100 cel sports cats don't meet exhaust regs. Too much mis-information on forums I guess, so I'm happy to stand corrected!

Your cost effective idea was a nice one. I just ain't letting a welding torch near my car yet!!  :grin:
My old Ibiza, yep, that'll need it soon. My Golf, no!

Did you not use to be the owner of a Red Polo 1.8T:huh:  :huh: :huh:

So thats what my silver car would look like if i got some BBS.  They look better in that pic.


Note to self: must spend some of my annual bonus I was told about today  :grin: on some wheels, and who knows I might have a bit left for another watch  :evil:

I see you're still posting on there occasionally. I've been keeping close tabs on the 6R GTI part of the forum. Not visited the 9N3 area for some time.

My annual bonus wouldn't even buy me a bag of chips, never mind a set of wheels and a flash timepiece. I really should have studied properly at school.

I wish I hadn't just said that, it's presently nearly 5 in the morning and I fancy a bag of chips now.

Heres an idea. If its just the pipe at each end wheel barrow look you don't like.
Buy a GTD backbox and GTD rear black plastic bumper valance and convert it to single sided like the GTD and the mk5 has.

That involves spending money and performing hard work Geoff! I guess the bits could be picked up on the bay of rip off merchants fairly cheaply though.
In all honesty that would be classed as a modification to the car as much as a full turbo back exhaust would by both my insurers and VW. And a full turbo back exhaust would at least perform better and look sexy.
