i have been considering this also. Did you have to have a custom exhaust made up?

Milltek and blueflame do off the shelf R32 style systems for the gti which is handy! Otherwise yes you will need one made up!  :smiley:

Ive fitted the R bumper to my GT TDI, used the foam that was already there no issues for me, had to cut the bumper a little but all fitted fine.
