exhaust question

ok, so say you only wanted to have the noise, so that the engine and car sounds really good. what would you get rid of and add. I have seen so many posts about this, and each post says something different. I wanted to know cause i wan to add one to mine, without spend 1300 dollars for it

just get rid of your resonator, it will give you a little more noise

the cheapest additional noise would be a BOV, but this would add no additional power and add a certain sound (pressure release), not an exhaust noise... There are several post on them I believe they cost less than $100.

the next cheapest would be an air intake of some kind, these cost $300 or a little less... the make the engine sound louder... But without a chip there may or may not be any power increases...

Then you can remove just the resonator and replace it with 2.5" pipe once again not much power increase but you are removing the second muffler so it does get louder...

You could replace the down pipe and cats, here you would should see a nice power improvement as this is the bottle neck of the GTI exhaust system...

Finally you can replace the entire exhaust system from the turbos back... this includes the down pipe, cats, resonator and muffler... this runs around $1200...

this is a very brief list of what can be done from least to most expensive... I have not gone into much detail but I hope it gives you an idea of what to look for... No doubt there are things that I have missed and others will fill in...

The BOV adapter is by forge( http://www.forgemotorsport.com ) and also if you get a neuspeed intake it sounds AWESOME! thats what i have and the intake adds performance too. Beastly turbo spool sound as well as BOV hiss. :thumbup: :burnrubber:

Getting rid of the resonater gives it some noise sounds good wot, if not you can also take out the huge rear muffler and replace that with a aftermarket muffler.
with both those done the price tag wont go over 200.

why don't you just stick your ass out the window and fart while rolling down the street. That would give you the effect you're looking for and it will only cost you as much as 2 bean burritos from T-Bell....
