Picture of mine fitted.

Got a brand new backbox for £60 off eBay. Bargain!

Cost me £50 to fit it, which included welding a smaller pipe to the back box so it could clamp to the existing system.

Sorry for late reply, been away.

Its sounds a little deeper and a tiny bit louder but only a touch, not a mod for improving the sound but does look a ton better.

Do you have the complete GTi system, or just the back box?

Just the back box, I don't know if a complete GTI system would fit.

Interesting that just the back box has change the exhaust note.  :wink:

The cat back would definitely fit, it may just need a reducer to match up to the OE pipe.

Only a tiny bit, I can only tell because I changed it but I doubt the average Joe would notice.
