Is that your setup, looks good

My guy has got back saying he can make the brackets but not weld them on but needs to know the brackst sizes etc

Have a word with nige at bcs power valve and see if he'll sell you some brackets as with these you can bolt the pipe on to the other side and fit the brackets on the rubbers from the garage who can then weld them on to spec

Cheers mate, Yeah my guy can make the brackets if I send him the sizes etc but he cannot weld them on

not mine. I found a video and pics of the car in a VW forum. Hope I can have a nice work like that done someday. Good luck with the project.

Once it's bolted to the centre back section the arms will need welding on and another thing to think about is how is it going to be bolted on or pipe into pipe as you'll have to get it spot on if you have it bolted to the pipe.

Good fit but pipes are not centered with the r32 look lower which is why it needs to be spot on unless you can live with this.

I agree, potentially have someone selling an exhaust that was custom made R32 look so if can get that may have all the parts already and just needs welding on but will see.

So got this made

Looks pukka but where's the bend?.

Yeah so that is what I thought but apparently some have cut the backbox off right back to where the pipe is straight and then clamp it on there if makes sense.

I cant seem to find a pic of a standard ED30 exhaust to see the attach options

May have it wrong but someone suggested the existing exhaust backbox could be cut off where I have highlighted and then a straight fit on with new Y pipe

So I do have some knowledge just haha.

My only worry is that it will sound too loud without the backbox. I do want more sound but only really when accelerating and not really that loud it is constant and loud in the cabin when idling around town

[r5gtt]

 
Yes very loud 

[irish_ram]

Yes very loud 

mmm, maybe need a rethink then as do not want it sounding stupid loud in the cabin and outside when i am traveling at a steady 30mph around town
