I want an exhaust!

[LogiK]

So,

1.8T GTI. Revo'd, K&N and eventually a front mount. I want a good turbo back exhaust <$1000. Pref 3" dump pipe and a 2.5" system after that.

Anyone recommend something? Or somewhere to build me one custom?

Anyone? Someone's gotta have done it!

currently i have a billy boats 2.5 inch stainless catback on my gti. Havent got anything done from turbo to cat or high flow cat as of yet though.

I picked up the BB exhaust very cheap from someone in as new condition, but youre looking at close to a grand fro a high qual stainless catback. Would you be happy with mild steel? Realistically, you could get something custom made up turbo back with a rear remus muffler (nice flow and quiet) and a high flow cat if you so desire for around 1000 bucks id imagine.

under 1000 would be a little hard,

go to a local shop to you and get a quote i find, half the time you see exhausts that are mass produced are ludicrously expensive or cheap junk. Get someone to fab you a custom one, may work out cheaper than the ludicrously expensive ones, and will provide you the choice you desire.

my 2 cents

Anyone imported, used, heard of one of these Scorpions from the UK?

Seems you can get it landed here for $700

[LogiK]

Never heard of it :s. You in the market too Andy?

[ohsnap!]

You could try a 42 Draft Designs exhaust for $785USD + postage - that's for the value line 3" downpipe with cat and 2.5" catback with a hidden tip. Extra if you want ceramic coating or an exposed exhaust tip. It's probably what I'll end up getting (at least the downpipe).

I had my 3" turbo back exhaust custom made by a local exhaust shop. Cost me $1600 but is quality work, never had any cels or nasty rattles and it doesn't drone on the highway.

Getting a full 42DD turbo back in for under a grand is going to be a challenge. Shipping is the killer, and once you go over the grand you will get hit up for import duty. The best I could do a 3" value line street ( cat ) dump, O2 spacer, 2.5" cat back with hidden tip for is $1162 shipped to you. From there the tip options are:
dual 3" single wall +$45
dual 3" double wall +$75
single 4" single wall +$15
single 4" double wall + $35.





NA motorsports do the best pricing period, and they can beat me on shipping so their pricing is a little better on big items like this, but you have to factor in import duty. My prices cover that.

You will need an O2 spacer ( from anyone ) as the 3" dump will throw errors on the cat sniffing sensor that monitrs the cat. If you didn't want a 42DD one that saves you $48.

Bang for buck get a 3" dump - the value line slip on ( bolts to stock cat back ) is $515 shipped to you, and add just the rear muffler back to some nice tips, keeping your first half of the cat back stock. 42DD will make up any part of a system I want, and you could get that for about $800 shipped as an approximation. There's no power to be had getting any more of the cat back, but this gives you the sound, and some nice tips ( 4 types to choose from ), at a decent price. Just an idea, but with me you don't have to get complete bits, I'm happy to get custom things in for people.

Yep it's all mild steel, but thicker 14 gauge ( 2mm thick ) and aluminized ( aluminium coated ), and all the resonators and muffs are stainless.

Give Franck at FMD motorsport in West Gosford a call.

He made me a cracking system for my old S3 at a very good price.

Local to you as well.

Tossing up between a 42DD system (Magnaflow) or buying a Megan racing DP 2.5" and then a Magnaflow Catback. Can get the 1st as above (around 1150) and the second for about 800.

Be aware that systems designed for LHD cars won't necessarily fit well on RHD.

Go custom - a place like Castle Hill Exhaust will help you out.

I had a megan DP, they really good, was nice without any Drone. had to sell it when I fitted my full 2.5inch Milltek turbo back system. I've heard alot of good things about the magnaflow systems as well and plenty of videos on youtube of what they sound like too.
