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,

    Rightio, booked in at Campbelltown Exhausts for Thursday morning, looking at round $400 if they do from the cat back (excluding the cat) and round $300 if they don't replace the rear box. All in 2.5". Will see if the replacement rear box looks any better than mine or not...

    I told the guy about my trip on Friday so we are all good with in and out same day (if not morning) and he has confirmed all the various bits and pieces are in stock or available on the day.

    Will be interesting to see how things go and what the end product sounds like. Might have to pull out the video camera and take some noise shots before and after. In some respects it will be a shame to loose the raw noise, in others the lack of bloody from the ears at 80 will make keeping the interior clean that much easier

    If it has an engine or heartbeat it's going to cost you.

      For reference I thought I would stick the camera under the old exhaust for a laugh:




      Will see how it sounds tomorrow...

            I think it sounds awesome, but the drone gets a bit much when your in the car for long periods of time... like doing a Sydney to Melbourne run...

              ahh i see. read ALL content and ye will find.

              is it a regular trip? does the cabin muffle the noise much at all (well, well enough)?

                Sounds good, I know what you mean about drone though, my escorts always droned like a mofo. Nice to see someone elses lip with as much scarring as mine too! LOL

                  Welll, adding a resonator sounded like a good idea at the time, but then I decided while I was there and all....

                  Well cat back full mandrel bent Lukey system will be in by the end of the day

                          A shade more than I originally hoped, but it should work out to be about $650 when all is said and done.

                          And to make it extra fun it will be fully flanged after the cat and between each part

                            And the final product...

                            It's much quieter in the cabin, although still a little drone, outside the noise is still good

                              So from the cat back its 2.25 inch as before, a small resonator as a replacement for the suitcase and then the lukey back box?
