    fuzion, what kind of down pipe do you have?

    I had an offer for an new ARP downpipe that needed a new cat, had a rattle. Going cheap. May still be available, PM me for details.

    Personally I'd go a 2.5inch downpipe with highflow cat and leave the rear stock, unless you like drone in the cabin. This setup gained 10kw at the wheels at last dyno.

          2.5 inch turbo back into the stock muffler. with highflow cat and no central muffler. I have this setup in my car without a cat and it's still extremely quiet.

                The steering racks sometimes mean there are left and right hand specifice downpipes.

                      i thought you had it adjusted to clear the firewall?

                        2.5 inch originally bought off e-bay not sure how much, but I then purchased it off my friend before he sold his golf.

                          it just needed a slight adjustment and the bottom lip of the firewall need to be bent ever so slightly. all of which was done after I took the car around the block 4 a test drive once fitted. I'd hardly say LHD downpipes don't work on RHD cars and I haven't had any problems with it.

                          I Forgot to mention after thinking about, make sure you get an aftermarket dogbone mount as the stock one will cause knocking, only reason I haven't had any major issues was because I uprated mine long before I installed the downpipe.

                            Carline make fantastic custom exhausts. A custome exhaust using Lukey super turbo mufflers will be way cheaper than an import system and far superior to a remus. Remus is just a name. Their products are lacking.

                              I got my 42DD Turbo back system from the states and i had no drama from the downpipe fitment.
