AVWS 35   Golf Mk 3 GTi 16V 2 ¼” Triple Box System Twin 3” ss

£237 for a catback system

Thoughts on the system and brand? I know a few race teams use it.

Specs are

Front silencer 16" long and 3.5" round, bullet style silencer

Middle silencer is 8" by 8" by 4", oval shape

Backbox is 16" long by 8.5" by 8.5". Twin 3" exit.

This seems to be the system, found it on ebay.

The only worrying thing is that it's mild steel, but then again it'd take years to rust as per the one in the picture.

£237.50 inc delivery for a 16v system

Or

£221.50 inc delivery for a VR6 system
http://www.ashleyexhausts.co.uk/volkswagen-golf-mk3-vr6-2-14-triple-box-system-twin-3-stainless-steel-tail-pipe-avws40_p1411330.htm

Both are the same diameters, and we all know the GTI's use the same mounting points and exhaust paths. So where's the £16 difference?

I think I might buy a system...

Not keen on Jetex, purely because of the weight of the system, very very heavy so I've heard. But you are right there is a gap I'm not keen on at the backbox  :undecided:

Reason for change is the middle silencer has always had a tinny sound around 2500rpm and the exhaust has been leaking at the connector for ages, repairs only seem to last a month or so.

When i bought my valver it had a ashley system on it and like the pictures it rusted and eventually the back box fell off so i bought a different system which so far is doing very well and shouldn't rust being stainless  :smiley:
