So, time for a proper update
Came to the exhaust shop
Excuse the pics - only had the 5s with me, not my camera at that point
I already had the 3in Downpipe, and my 3in rear muffler, the plan was to make the cat back in 3in as well.
The ugly connection before
Different parts from the years that have passed
CHOPPED!
Pipe being prepared
Test fitting
In situ
Rear connection - front one, downpipe to catback is a v-band
Wrapping it up
Besides the exhaust, I had to fabricate or modify my Air Intake.
First I thought I'd modify my 1,4 Gt one, but then I thought the filter might go somewhere else
So started working on that
Came out great to be honest -full 3in, no maf - not needed at all since my tune will be totally custom, already is by Tom- thus, keeping it simple
Now, you know that I am a fan of aluminum, however at this pipe I chose a different material because I wanted this porn
However, I couldnt say no to powdercoating it wrinkle black either
So this happened
I think it is great
Then we had some mud rain
So decided to give both of our golfs some love
Got this
Installed in place - with the side clips - need to see if I can find the yellow instead of orange lower fitting mount
Then I received this sexy item I was waiting for, from the trim shop
Porn isnt it ?
Like I said, car is running a solid ecu tune now, and along with the full 3in exhaust, Air intake, S3 Intercooler, RS4 Valve, it is stretching its legs nicely. For now.
Cheers
More to come
