thanks, like i said ive bought a sports cat/downpipe, in regards to power (stage 2), il get no more power by changing the middle section and backbox?

Thanks bud!

So i would be able to fit it in the space behind the bumper(where the long tailpipes are currently) and then extend the middle section to meet the inner part of the box itself? Thanks

thanks. I've already got a stage 1 map, ive bought the sports cat to go stage 2. but before fitting it was hoping i could get... and buy that universal backbox i mentioned above...but from the sounds of things that wont fit on the octy?

ok thanks. Im just after the most power as possible for as cheap as possible. do you know if theres much restriction from the cat to the back box? (would it even be beneficial to get a new middle section made[power wise]?) i could just buy the backbox i mentioned above and then get the place to make it fit, but like i say unsure if its worth getting a new middle section :/

a golf gti what? silencer(tailpipe/backbox)? is it not worth getting new straight through 2.5" pipe from cat/downpipe to tailpipe/backbox/silencer? just trying to do it as cheaply as possible

cheers, the plan was to get this one: http://www.ebay.co.u...=item2573a41909 a place has quoted me 140 to fabricate a pipe from end of downpipe over axle and join back box in 2 1/2 stainless. so theoretically this should be a cheap system provided no problems arise! and ive been looking for a second hand one for months now, yet to find one

Hi im looking at getting an aftermarket exhaust system as cheap as possible; I've already bought a sports cat/downpipe...and the plan is to buy a universal back box off ebay and get a place to fabricate a pipe to link the two. Will a universal back box fit on the octy vrs mk1? I know the OEM has quite a long pipe between the tip and silencer and wondered why this was? Thanks!

I think im gonna go for some new pagid pads as ive noticed massive amounts of fade when driving 'enthusiastically' which i've never experience before on previous cars or bikes. thanks for the advice!

No, they were put on before I bought the car. They looked brand new when I bought it. Is there anything better than OEM - green stuff maybe or are they just overpriced?

Hi folks Ive got close to new front brake pads but under braking, predominantly 15-0mph they give off a high pitched squeel. is it down to cheap brake pads (i have no idea what brand/make they are)? if so, any recommendations on replacements? thanks

thanks. delivered today but with no reducer, just a joining sleeve. now to buy some heat tape and a 2.5-2.25 reducer....or a full 2.5" system? any ideas/recommendations on a full system, or somewhere i can get hold of a reducer? thanks!

4 days later and ive just finished reading! Your wagon looks awesome mate! subscribed How many SMD's did you buy when changing the clocks etc?

thanks bud!
