You ordered a 3" with decat? If so they are very loud at 2.5k-3.5k, really booming and loud. Anything over or under that range is just about acceptable, but it is by no means a quiet exhaust.

This is the link http://www.ebay.co.uk/itm/99-04-VW-Golf-MK4-3-1-8L-Turbo-Full-Catback-Exhaust-w-Downpipe-/380448995389?pt=UK_CarsParts_Vehicles_CarParts_SM&hash=item589486f83d#ht_2661wt_827

I wasn't expecting it to be quiet,  :grin: when yours was installed Dom did you have to get your lambda mapped out? I have an ARZ with 2 lambda sensors and also once installed would it be a good idea to go and see nick and get the map tweaked? Or is there no point?

Ive got fitted and If im honest I think they are very much so UNDER-PRICED for what you recieve  :shocked: :cool:

The quality is A***: welds, Bends, material etc etc.

Regards to noise, even though they are 3" straight through pipe, they are fairly quiet inside the car.

there are some videos in my project thread near the bottom of the page!

Thank you mate I will have a look at some point when I'm free. Also how long did you wait for it to be delivered? I ordered mine from jdmhonda And it says 2 business days? That can't be right!
