  • Bora is at the shop getting the r32 muffler fitted to it...

    Comment


    • all back and sounding goooood!

      the pinched (triangle) bit between the muffler and the cat has been replaced with a straight through pipe.

      instead of cutting a hole in the valance I got him to add and extend a second pipe out to just underneath the valance (but still hidden)

      Added a couple of dump tips.

      Tied the flapper closed into the more sedated position as well (used some tie wire)

      All up $220 (inc gst)

      This post is proof that you can add a MKIV r32 muffler easily to a bora 4motion.

          • Just did thirty km up the freeway and back.

            There is the smallest and I mean marginal increase in noise over stock but it's not even noticeable.

            No drone at all....

            I'm pretty bloody chuffed.

            I'm off for a 300km round trip tomorrow but I'll give it a few days then swap the flapper around to see how the louder version goes..

            I'll keep an eye on fuel consumption as well

                      • did the same route with the flapper on the louder setting - nice and loud!

                        but, it really isn't that much more louder on the inside then when it's off, and again no drone!

                        booyah!

                          • Spent the day with a car magazine driving my Mk4 GTI and a new Mk6 GTI (manual).
                            We were based in the Royal National Park south of Sydney.

                            It's for a 10 year 'then and now' feature (eg 2000 GTI vs 2010 GTI) which will include other performance cars.

                            Was a lot of fun and the photos are AMAZING, but until the edition runs you'll be settling for my crap phone pic:



                            P.S
                            The Mk6 is a riot!
                            Very fun car which can quickly flip from being a comfy cruiser to a mad bastard.
                            The car was tornado red with cloth trim, 17s, ACC, manual, satnav and Dynaudio. No sunroof. I want one.
