Golf MK4 Catback Exhaust

[urdreamin]

hey i have a golf mk4 1.6L and i was shopping around for a catback exhaust, so far went to 6 different places that specialize in exhaust systems. some places said "2inch will give you the power u want aprox 2 - 5KW", and some places said "dont bother putting an catback exhaust on you will be disapointed it wont give you any power at all", and some places said "it will give you 0.5KW gain". :S im so confused right now, i dont know who to believe ?? anyone have any suggestions on what i should do?

I think what you are finding is people not willing to make any substantial claim because you will hold them to it.
Chances are it wont make much difference at all except a lot of noise on a 1.6L golf

well i got quoted $250 for high flow cat and full 2inch piping to the muffler. the money isnt much its cheap, all i got on the car is a pod. i just want to know if ill feel the difference??

You may get some more power down low but it wont be a huge difference.

If you want good sounds, not too noisy and a bit of power go for 2" mandrel bent cat-back system.

ahk. it would be nice to get some more torque out of it, the car has dumpy on it atm without a resonator. but yer ill prob go get it done its cheap anyway. thanks

If you get it done, post a video and thoughts on results.

Will be interesting

yer ill do a 0 - 100km comparason and top speed comparason, top speed to beat is 187km low end and high end power. Thanks sirmoe for the idea.

Tell me your tests will be on a race track not a road

[urdreamin]

Oh FYI if you are planning on getting a rear Valance for the car with a exhaust cutout the part number is 1J6807521CB41 for AU models.

I'm in the process of sorting one for mine, should have a quote soon
