how to change cat back/back box on gttdi for a gti one (for twin tailpipe looks)
Mandy:
Thanks Ben :happy2:
I did look into getting the 170 back box from vw, think it was just under £200. Tried to look around for a cheap used one and came across the Ed30 exhaust on here instead so I got that.
Do you know if it will fit on my gt in the same way as you describe??
Those pics look good, like the way only top half of the valance is coloured...
B3n:
Yeah i belive its more or less the same with the ED30 exhaust but im not sure the whole sytem is needed just the back box but if you got the whole system keep the centre section and stick it on ebay etc. Yeah it makes a drastic difference to the look of the car especially if you leave the centre section black it breaks it up a bit. Have you found a exhaust centre to fit it yet?
Ben
Mandy:
Exhaust should either come tomorrow or day after i think...
Havent really thought about anywhere to get it done but i know someone who works in a garage who may be able to do it.
On the link that you provided earlier, i see they were saying something about needing the gti arch liners? Did you have this problem at all?
Also, the gti valance i got is the rough one, not the smoothed one so dont know whether i should smooth it down, or try to shall i say! :signLOL:

The valance you have will be the ''standard'' GTI one.The ''smooth'' one is from the edition 30 which is a lot more. :happy2:

Oh I see... Never thought that! I knew the smooth one cost about 10x more so just opted for the other one...
