New R36 cat-back exhaust

[GT3]

We've completed development of our R36 cat-back exhaust - should be ready for release soon. Here's a sneak preview of what it sounds like (goes pretty good with the tune too ). ..more info will be available once all testing is complete.

I like it

Any chance of a comparison between stock and tweaked sounds... I've never heard a standing start by an R36 from outside the car!

looking forward to release!

Sounds nice - any idea of pricing yet?

GT3,

What sort of performance gains can be expected?

[Autopia]

Mmmm. Me likey very much.
I'll be knocking on your door once I get my wagon.

[ROGUE]

any pics of the underside of the car? any fitment/clearance issues?

[gead]

who said there was no aftermarket interest in the passat except towbars....

GT3, sounds great some pricing info would be great too. Let me know when you guys are ready to release it. Also, I like a quad exhuast (like the M3 or C63). I presume black plastics around the exhuast could easily be cut/reshape to fit a quad exhaust?

That sounds great. Interested to see if there are any significant performance gains.

Any performance gains from an exhaust only on the R36 would be marginal.

For a cat back system, yes.

Love your avatar.

Thanks for the feedback so far guys.

The exhaust is locally produced, hand-made from 304 stainless steel with mandrel bends and is fully TIG welded. The mufflers and resonators are made using steel wool packing as opposed to fiberglass used in cheaper systems. It’s a high quality system as you can see from the photos below.

These systems will need to retail for $3,395 incl GST for production to be viable. Based on the feedback provided here (and elsewhere), we will determine whether these systems will go into production or not.

In terms of performance, testing to date has shown a gain of up to 8kw atw on a 4wd chassis dyno. That’s a great gain for a cat-back system on a normally aspirated car.
