Standard exhaust minus centre silencer

[Aparoon]

Just wondering if anybody has replaced the centre silencer with a straight through pipe to make the standard exhaust a bit louder? Would this work or would it end up sounding pants?

Ive listened to a few clips on youtube but cant really get a true idea of the sound.

I have been thinkin about doin this to, but dont want it to sound rubbish.

It sounds good..

Lots of the guys in the states do it..

This vid gives a pretty good idea of the sound! (make sure you listen in HQ)

And this is with a 3" de cat down pipe with the standard cat-bac + resonator removed

Hope that helps you out a little..

I wish I had an exhaust that quiet 

When I had just the cat-back, it was absolutely fine, so I can't see the VW one being any different - just a little fruitier towards the top end. Ask Beddie what its like now...

Thanks for the clips they sound good, i spoke with pipewerx and they said about £80 so its gotta be worth a try what you think??

I had a decat and non resonated milltek on my mkiv and it sounded awesome just a little too loud at times for my liking!

£80 seems a lot, but probably going to struggle to get it for much less..

I think its worth a go yep!

I was considering this as its much cheaper than a system. Worried it sounds a little chavvy though?

Is the standard system crappy mild steel ?. 

[Aparoon]

Im not sure to be honest, dont know what the diameter is on the ed30 either, i thought i'd read somewhere that it was slightly larger than the standard gti?

The ED30 and GTI exhaust are exactly the same @ 2.5inch.. Dont know who started that rumor

The standard system is mild steel yep

Think there is a DIY post on the mkvs forum that has all the detail on doing this mod.

Have you got a link as i cant seen to find it?

i have a 3" downpipe and de cat with standard system and it sounds nice, not loud, quite raspy, some times pops, i am going to get a 3" system all the way back without the silencers, get quite a lot of waste gate chatter as well, tuttutututuuuuuuu
