Welcome to the new look VWWatercooled

After much work and little sleep there is a new version of the forums running on more powerful and recent hardware as well as an upgraded software platform.

Things are mostly the same, but some things are a little different. We will be learning together, so please post questions (and answers if you've worked things out) in the help thread.

The new forum software is an upgraded version of what came before, it's mostly the same but also a little different. Hopefully easier to use and more stable than before. We are learning together here, so please be patient. If you have questions, please post them here. If you have worked something out and can provide an answer,

    Just disconnect the rear section and drive the car around the block. You'll soon tell if it's something you want to pay $ to make permanent.

      I would not remove the rear muffler, at the most the resonator. There is a video on you tube of a guy who removed the muffler and he regretted it

        I thought it was the other way around. The resonator made drone.

          the only exhaust mod worth doing is the dump pipe/better cat. the resonator deletes & cat backs sound too raspy to me,
          i might look at setting the flaps to be always open, that seems to sound ok.

              A deres is a pretty cheap and reversible mod. If all you want is more sound I'd start with that first. If it sounds good but drones a little you can get a hotdog resonator installed.. That should cut and drone by roughly half.

              A full DP and straight though CAT are great performance mod and will be pricey.

                It depends how hardcore you are haha, if you're a monkey like myself, then just remove all the muffler and go straight pipe I've had it for a few months, drone doesn't bother me its not too bad!
