so I am considering to change the exhaust on my polo because the 1.0l sound is terribly annoying and sissy hehe
... I still want it hidden like the standard box but with a better sound. what do you suggest please? a custom made one? would it be better if I remove the middle box/can?

the oil problem: the top cover breather is spitting quite a good amount of oil. is this a problem because it did not use to do it. I found oil dripping down the cylinder head to one of the spark plug hole!! help pls as I don't want oil going into my air box!!

Which oil hose is this - is this the one from the front side of the block (the thin hose?) If so, you will lose a huge amount of oil by removing the pipe. It needs a one way valve that only lets air in and nothing out. Been there done that got the tshirt!

it is a breather in the cylinder cover just above the 4th cylinder. when I removed the hose air came out and now (just recently) oil is also spat out!! so it is supposed to be an intake to the cylinder cover??

it takes air into the cover - it doesnt expel oil. if your factory airbox is still on, reconnect it. If its not, you need to find a one way valve for it.

I am still using the factory airbox and the hose is connected bet there was still oil dripping from the base of the hose. could it be that the oil level is a bit higher than it should be?

as long as the hose is connected it should be fine. I would check your oil level to ensure it isnt above the hashed area, as this could could abnormal oil pressure
