1.8T Exhaust System......
« on: 03 January 2008, 08:55 »
im after having a custom sleek exhaust made and was wondering what other people thought about the golfs system...... does anyone else think there is room on the drivers side for another backbox at the rear? i want a dual exit.....

im thinking its possible.... has anyone got a dual exit?

cheers guys! :smiley:

yeh kind of..... has the R32 pipes got 2 back boxes or is it one?

the company that that can do it for peanuts want to do it with 2 back boxes, but they are unsure it will fit 2..

fairly sure its two but that system wont fit the standard 1.8T unless you modify the spare wheel well!!

I know Milltek do an R32 system for 1.8T's

the R32 is a single transverse backbox, with a shallower wheel well than the GTI so it all fits in nicely.

including sports cat back cost me about £650, referance sound on tick over hardly hear it but when using as a 1.8t should be used, 1 of my jap driving mates referred it too sounding like a plane taking off, but they give me the choice of sound quiet, medium or loud, i went for medium. the phone number for exhaust u.k is 0114 2447123, give them a ring there very helpful
