        looks a bit dodge with the otherside just dumped couldn't you just change it to a single tip muffler?

          you cant even see it, champ.

          it's invisible unless you get on your stomach and look

          Blocking off one end would also restrict the flow it was designed for...

          but thanks for you comment, lol

            mate the sound is great - I drove it 300km round trip today with the flapper out (or in, still haven't worked it out, anyway the louder setting) and it never droned. Speed up to 120 but mostly at 110 on the freeway.

            All up it cost me at tad under $440 for the muffler, shipping, parts and fitment.

              But as said, wouldnt you rather have both tips coming out the back or just hidden them both altogether?

              Looks good.

              Which reminds me, have 2 r32 exhausts laying around!

                very interesting.

                never new that the flapper on the mk4 exhaust was pre muffler. on the mk5 its after muffler.

                  I would have loved to do this to my bora but it would of hung to low because of the fuel tank position on a 2.0. I would have liked to of seen you buy a stock valance and have two custom cut outs with dual tips either side, but that's just how I would do it. Great work but, I'm sure it sounds awsome.

                    nah, i never really got into the twin cut out look on car that was single from the factory. On euros especially, i think it looks a bit rice. (just MHO)

                    However, there is a mb in the UK that makes R32 rear valances specifically for a Bora (not to exxy as well) which I may look closer at in a few month time if I get bored with current set up.

                    It wouldn't be too hard to get a second cut out done here and extrat tips fitted either... But one must think of resale and i was never sure how it would sound - how would I go back to stock with a gaping second cut out on the other side, lol

                    cheers,

                          I sold my stock rear valance to one of the other boys so that he could use it for cut outs either side of his bora after fitting his r32 system, not sure if he has done it yet though. But that way if he ever wanted to change it back he still had his original valance. I don't think it looks rice at all having two exhaust outlets with twin or single pips, I do however if they look like Milo tins or anything bigger than the stock r32 tips,

                            each to their own... the option is always there in the future.
