whats a good exhaust for the 1.8t gti?

[GtiLER]

hey guys,

i have a 2003 GTi and was just wondering where i can find the best bang for buck for exhausts(full turbo back) in Melbourne.
something that gives performance and a great sound, similar to the magnaflow exhaust.

post photos of your custom/branded exhaust if you wish.

thanks

The euro brands are obviously quite expensive but I got a full turbo back custom made by Tuffy for well under $1000.

You can see/hear it at the end of this vid...

$300 for a downpipe is all you need

If you want a rear muffler, supersprint, remus or a locally made one.

Myself i have a 3" downpipe, remus exhaust. Not AS expensive as some people think however your car will NOT drone and sound like **** on most common "turbo back exhausts" from local fitter/suppliers.

Ebay is prob your best bet, www.bestmufflers.com (Chris) is the man when it comes down to Remus pricing, carline in melb have a few, oettinger (apr)..

imo, 3" downpipe + a backbox is all you need.

thanks guys, i'll look into it. i was talking to a guy in melb and he was offering me a full APR exhausts system for 3.5k, and felt like i was getting ripped off so i wanted to look into it, my friend is telling me to buy the magnaflow exhaust off ebay, find a down pipe and some one to fit it. what do you guys think.

$3.5k for small power gains just isnt worth it if you ask me

3.5k! my god.. i would go on an overseas trip! stuff that lol

magnaflow is good but expect it to be a bit louder then some others.

check with local suppliers, including mag wheel tyre centre in melb as they sometimes have exhausts in stock to suit as well

looks like il be jst getting 3" Dump then just a muffler.. instead of full 3"

maybe keep this car abit quiet.

For $3.5K buy a Silvia for a track car and keep your GTI stock.

That is ridiculous.

So anybody got any recommendations for exhaust places in sydney to do a full turbo back? Ill be looking to get my diesel done soonish Hopefully pricing is reasonable too i.e. around the 1k mark or less.

ok now the next problem? were to find a 3" down pipe, cause i sure as hell i ain't spending 1.3k for the APR one. lol. whats a reliable brand that i can get in melb or in australia shipped to melb that isnt ridiculously over priced ?

I doubt you'll find an off the shelf item in Australia except APR. One off is the way to go.

for reference purposes, i have been looking at getting a custom 3" pipe made...

prices have averaged around the $300 mark... give or take a few dollars...
