lol thas nice muppetsport ;)

My badboy rumbles like a beast! When I go college in the mornings mine sets off car alarms at a distance! 8) ;D

When the car is idle it has a kind of spit fire noise that comes from the centre bit but its not blowing. Is this normal or could it be the manifold-to-exhaust gasket?

as in ever other second or so it makes a spitting sound? if so check gaskets. ive been told the manifolsd ones go quite a lot on golfs. could be just a join in the exhaust though not sealed properly. if you look under the car you will be able to tell as there will be a patch of black carbon round an exhaust join. loosen clamp, push tighter together and use exhaust sealer round the joint. should stop it
