Hi Folks,
Over the years I have had 3 MKII's all on small bumpers and I'm always frustrated in the lack of decent looking and sounding exhaust systems for the small bumper owner. To this end I have been in touch with an exhaust manufacturer to see about producing a small range of exhausts for the MKII that suit the small bumpers. These would likely take the form of a mild steel exhaust systems from the manifold back with stainless tail pipes. I would envisage a range of different tail pipes but to start probably just twin rounds with an outward rolled lip that suits the retro look of the MKII.
At the moment this is all pie in the sky stuff but I'm keen to take it further and I'm looking to see how much interst there would be from fellow small bumper owners. The manfacturer in question already produces outstanding exhuasts of which i have had many years of personal experience (but not on dubs) and I have never managed to break one on bumps and they have never rusted apart. They are very well built and sound amazing. I have no idea on prices but they are very competetive for other vehicles ( Full systems for under £200). WHat I need to do is build up a picture of whether it is worth them stepping outside their usual client base and step into a scene they currently have no business in.
Here are a couple of examples of their work:
So would anyone be interested? I would expect these would only be for GTi's (8v and 16v) to begin with but if it proves profitable for the company in question then smaller engined cars couls well be catered for in the future.
