Performance Exhaust

Post by ALB-Vw »

Hi,

I have a 6n2 1.4 16V, realised the other day that my exhaust was blowing so looked under it and the back-box is rusted to buggery. I'm thinking of getting a half system and I've found a sportex one on ebay which will fit but just wondering whether anyone has any reviews for these if you have had them on your car?

It's a "Polo MK4 1.4-16v Sportex Exhaust inc Race Tube - S3"

Many thanks,

Alex

The version with the race tube removes the center silencer. It would be very loud and probably not legal for MOT purposes

I would look for something including the center silencer

These new rules get worse! What's the limit do you know?
