My first VW. My VR6

had to shave down the collars that are used to screw the donut to the old wheel and drill a hole in the new wheel to fix the donut to but thats it.

Right this week i thought id tinker some more with the Golf.

It had new CVs and trackrod ends over the weekend and today a new treat arrived:

A full exhaust, brand new, on the bay for £56!!!!!!! Bargain. Turns out it was a decat too. Result. Only thing was its for a 16v GTi not a VR6, so i bought it with the thought of Astra exhausts, they all go on as the floors the same, just down pipe mating could be different.

Anyway got the back box on:

And i wasnt wrong. The GTi down pipe must sit more to the passenger side than the VR6 so some modding was needed:

And all on:

The tailpipe is about 2.5" and doesnt really fill the cut out. Nigel had an oval tailpipe but Emo wasnt impressed LOL:

I may cut the tailpipe off and put that trim on yet but ill see how i feel after looking at it a couple of times. It sounds the same as the standard system (minus the backbox) did so im happy. I liked the sound of half an exhaust, just hated the knocking. Now it sounds the same but doenst knock!

Brilliant!
