If theres a difference in price mate it will be because one is 2.75inch and the other 3inch... Fitment will still be the same

HAHA!!! Just noticed...

Hmm...wonder which mine is (Cat-Back)?!

Guessing if I have a 3" Cat-Back, getting a 2.75" DP wouldnt work?! Or would there be a way to make it fit?!

If your a gti and not ed30 then the 2.75 will be fine, i think there are pros and cons for each size but the 2.75'' is specifically designed for the gti with the k03  :smiley:

Sorry for been thick, but are you saying I need the 3" downpipe and Hi-Flow Cat?!


Or that the Pipe size of the Cat-Back on the car is 3"?!

The standard full exhaust is 2.5'' so you want a 3'' dp either fitted to your standard cat back or get the full 3'' all the way...

I didnt want the full exhaust so i have the 3'' dp mated to the standard cat back, you still get the performance gains (most of them) and a bit of noise, nothing silly   :happy2:
