Ideas about exhaust system!!! *PLEASE LOOK*

[r_penny23]

I dont know if you read the Golf Magazine, but Prash Thakkers Mecarto Blue Polo in the February 2004 edition is sporting a jap-style custom cat-back Powerflow exhaust and its the mutts its a three inch and imo suits the car more than a five.

My scanner is playing up at the moment but I'll keep trying, or you could try www.thegolf.co.uk.

Good luck mate and post me a pic when you've decided

too small i think....

[VwPo1o]

Think it looks a bit small as well.I'm even considering getting the 6 x 4 oval tailpipe, although a lot of people have it on this forum!!

Ross: I got to bath uni, i was the one that put the flyer on your car!!

Thanx for the pic. Was considering a boot flush like the pic, bu just don't have the money!!

thats my 6x 4 oval

the best thing is to go down there and get the tips and put them against the car, i was going to go 4 the twin dtm and still think upswept dtm is mad.

[VwPo1o]

looks the s**t!!!!! I'll get the tailpipes up agains the car for sure. Wish me luck

Thanx you guys. Really apprecitate it!!

Off to get some insurance know

Well, it's done!!! I now have a beautiful 4.5" tipped custom powerflow exhaust!!! Was gona go for a jap box, but it would have had to sit too low, below the bumper. Instead i got them to make me a custom one with the jap sytle tip and it sits higher up the bumper! It sounds awesome once the car is a bit warm. Think it'll take a week or two while it starts to fully kick in. Nice burble from it when the car is idle

I'll be putting up some pics soon of the exhaust.

P.S. My peco back box will soon be put up for sale. I don't care what anybody says about peco, cos the one have did its job well!!! Been polishing it recently to get back to its shiny self.

Thanx boys for the help

[carmadaaron]

you will not regret pputting on a jap style! it suits the polo very well. wait till u drive thro a tunnel!!

[jon_poloV]

yep you cant beat the bass note as you go thro a tunnel. you'll have a huge grin on your face too

[carmadaaron]

remember to put the windows down!!

appologies for jumping on the end of this topic. but the original exhaust on my 2001 tdi pd 75bhp is going to be kaput in the next few weeks.

i am loath to buy a vw one and was looking for a specialist one (such as stainless for the lifetime warranty they have). the places i have looked (scorpian magnex etc.) dodnt seem to list diesel cars but they must be available.

i had heard that the tail pipes have to be the right profile to achieve the correct back pressure for the diesel but i dont know if it is true.

can anyone point me in the right direction.


thanks

matt

[carmadaaron]

just go to a custom exhaust place.. they will do whatever you wish... noisy, quiet, 7" round etc...
