middle box exhaust
« on: 02 June 2011, 17:50 »
just noticed i have a blow from my big middle box (the sideways ones near the back)
on the 8v wich other model mk3 middle boxes will pit or does it have to be a 8v one?
or does anybody on here have one for sale or even a aftermarket one or strait through one?

Here is what my 8v sounded like with a induction kit, magnex back box and custom straight through middle pipe (no box)

My back box to rear silencer is all one unit...my back box is gone aswell...would that pipe on ebay do the business or is there welding involved? Would have to cut the back box away from the rear one if u know what i mean

i dont mind chopping abit and my backbox is atached with a flexi pipe so a slitely off bend wont matter.
only thing is i dont see any hanging bars on it.
