MK3 Exhaust - RS

[ferret vrs]

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 ?

I'd be interested as well

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 believe there is a freely available software that calculate the length of the pipe for the chamber, should be a simple job. I've seen this done many times (in europe mostly) for a V6 engine from Lexus to VR6. I believe the previous gen C63 AMG has also J-pipe built in within it's OEM exhaust, they sound thunderous on the outside yet very refine from the inside.

Would you like to be the guinea pig

If I didn't have to cut the stock exhaust I'd be in, but I don't think I'll be touching mine. The link is for a VW golf so would be the same (although pipe is thicker for R)

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.

Interestingly the Scorpion Cat back system for the Octavia vRS mk3 is advertised on ebay for example as 2.5 inch. This is not the case, if you look at the actual spec sheet supplied by Scorpion you will see it is in fact 3inch to the Y splitter at the back, at which point the pipe size is reduces to 2.5 inch to each muffler (as there is no point in having 3inch after the Y splitter). I can confirm the main pipe on this system is 3inch as I have the resonated version on my car...and man it sounds like a 3inch system too!

How much does it costs installed?

[Rhysently]

Hey fellas, any recommendations on where to get a down pipe from and installed Sth East Melbourne?

Or should I just swing into an exhaust place and get them to make something up?

I bought the Scorpion resonated system through ebay for around $1800 landed, $160 for pro install

I cut out the resonator on my vRS. Gave the car a better note and DSG farts but there was too much resonation much like others have reported. Ended up getting a hot dog resonator installed which removed the resonation but kept most of the nicer engine note and DSG farts.

Do you know if the hot dog has stainless wrapping inside? The glass pack reso sounded really good, nice and deep but only lasted six months in my case, it sounded really bad when all the fiberglass has burnt out.

Stainless steel wrap core is a good middle ground between straight and glass pack, mine has been in the car for almost 2 years.
