Mk2 8V ECU Upgrade?

[mitch750]

I've had a couple of people tell me that they think that theres an ECU chip or something for the 8V...

just wondering if anyone on here has actually done it and if it'd be worth it.. im not particularly stressed about the engine blowing up cause i have a 20V waiting in line.. so i though maybe for the time being..

let us know yo,

only digi can be chipped

[mitch750]

argh! well then you know of any loud exhausts? like straight pipe? haha

thinking of what to do first tbh!

[Stiggy_21]

is the cat still there??
cut it out!!!!! you dont need it.

go straight from downpipe to 2 rear silencers.
from what i hear 1 muffler is too droney, 2 is good.

[mitch750]

wow im **** with exhausts, yeh i think the cat is still there.. so if i take that off.. how do i connect the rest? cause i presume its in the middle? or do i just take it off and leave it as is from there? with a tip pointing down attatched?

yes, i dont know much about this!

Spend some time looking at Mk2 forums, ClubGTI etc.

2" nice stainless exhuast will be good.

all the UK guys go for a Jetex Stainless system

Golf Mk2 Jetex Systems

im in the market for one soon, so if your keen group buy?

[mitch750]

It's in the link mate

£300 ~ $450 au...
That's a good amount of cash but seems pretty cheap for a s/s system, could only imagine what it would cost to do locally...

[RedMk2Gti]

Because they are made in China.

Jetex are made in china??

did some research.. apparently they're made in Sweden

[russ83]

Mk3 down pipes $100, 2.25 exhaust no cat $690, muffler $150. Sounds wicked...

jetex are made in Sweden, when I was living in Finland they were the bees knees for your car.

been looking up a few options for exhausts... and came accross this one on GAP.
"Techtonics cat-back exhaust system, Stainless. System includes 2.25 inch mandrel bent stainless steel tubing, stainless 12 inch straight-through resonator, and stainless Borla muffler."
