I hope there is a simple answer but probably not  :undecided: I need to know if normal exhaust silencers (golf mk2 16V 1991) would be baffled inside the box or straight through. I hope they were never baffled becuase mine has 3 silencers and the cat converter. That would be so restrictive  :laugh: Why 3 silencers on one car? It cant be that load with only 2 can it?

you shouldn't have a cat as standard if your car is '91.
I bridged the front box with a bit of pipe when it died and didn't notice anymore noise.

Was a cat a factory option? I know they were mandaory from 93' on. Maybe its another silencer in disguise...

My motor is definately not a foreign one (i know its German but you know what i mean  :wink: ) It definately has a cat and 3 silencer boxes. It has (in order from front to back) silencer, cat, silencer, silencer. Has anyone else got a cat on thier system?

if your car is a k-jet 16v then it wont have a CAT from factory. they have 4 silencers as standard

the VAG exhaust system breathes very well. in fact it'll breath better than a lot of aftermarket stainless systems
