MK3 Exhaust - RS

[manamp27]

Slightly off topic, but I want to paint the exhaust tips on my car a dark colour. I just prefer them to stand out less and blend in with the underbody of the car. So my question is: Are the tips welded on on to the pipe or can they be easily removed? Also, what would be involved in painting them - anyone done this before? I don't want them flaking.

I'm actually going to do the same with mine, they are just bolted on so easily removed
Use a VHT hi temp paint and you should be sweet.
If I end up changing my rear mufflers I will go with a different tip style / outlay

Thanks ferret. Is there any special prep required on the chrome tip - does it need to be sanded to ensure paint adherence?

[ferret vrs]

Do be honest, I'm not too sure, may need some sort of primer?
Tips won't get that hot compared to rest of exhaust system so as long as they are clean, and applied in light coats should be ok

Have CTS DP and non-res Scorpion catback. Quite loud but its okay with me. When the revs are high the dsg farts are very loud, sound like explosions. Have been told flames shoot out when WOT. Have no recordings because can't be bothered. I had a hotdog insert put in for free but it still wasn't enough for me. Stock exhaust is way too quiet.

There are few offering from Europe; Remus, Fox, Bull-X, Supersprint to name a few.

Not much to say, cheaper than Milltek though it is only 2.5inch. Still bigger than the OEM exhaust and built well. They do a lot of exhaust for bikes. In hindsight i would've probably waited for a Milltek but the price difference at the time and it was in stock meant i picked it up the same day i enquired about it.

Will be getting CTS down pipe from VW central (Melbourne) best pricing $979.00 to my door in Brisbane

Don't bother trying to get any info out of exotic cars in Sydney - what a joke, emails, messages and finally a phone call with a promise to come back
Won't be wasting any more time with them!

My car is serviced by Exoticars, can't recommend them enough for locals. They do quality work and have helped myself and my family out a lot. They sometimes throw in things for free and don't charge for some work. I got my dogbone insert for free, without even asking for it. Bear in mind there is only two of them, these guys are flat out everyday. I have to book a service a months in advance, they are that busy. Sorry to hear you have a bad experience, but they get a shed load of calls and their phone is constantly ringing, much of which isn't worth their time.

I guess being local helps.

If I changed the exhaust I'd prob just do a resonator delete but with a helmhotz resonator tube on it. As below:

BCS Center Silencer Delete Pipe With Drone Delete Tube - GOLFMK7 - VW GTI MKVII Forum / VW Golf R Forum / VW Golf MKVII Forum

You could definitely get this made locally if you desired as it is all just tube and nothing special added, just the dimensions of the extra tube are important. The air inside the tube acts as a spring to dampen certain vibrations, which are tuned to each engine type. If I was so inclined I'd start a business getting such items made in China or similar.

I've got a 3" custom downpipe (1 week old). It's sounds wicked. I actually have to take it off and sell it due to selling the car (going back to a ute). Anyone interested ?
