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 :wink:
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 ?. :sad:
-
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?

:signLOL: :signLOL: :signLOL: :signLOL: Dude! That sounds worse than my soot chucker!
On another not, my mate cam back with a milteck on his A5! It sound s amazing! I want i want i want! So i figure save and get one.
As diesels sound awsome with millys.

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

What make of downpipe and decat is it?
-
its a e bay one for £159, exactly the same as on you would pay £500 for but a lot cheaper, is great as well!!!! the welds are spot on !!! and the metal they use isnt to bad!!! ideal for the k03/k04 turbo's
-
Thanks, What other mods are you running?

Thanks, What other mods are you running?
huge intercooler with forge twin cooler pipes, revo stage 1, neuspeed p flow, 3" downpipe and de cat, magnex cat back, and a few forge bits at the mo!!! gt35 or gt30 will be going on soon though along with internals and few other bits

^^^^
The point about Milltek is that it's primarily a tested performance exhaust and also designed not to sound like a boy-racer. It's sophisticated at lower revs and comes to life with the revs. Much more preferable not to attract too much of the wrong kind of attention. IMO.

It does sound a bit like a tank :laugh:
I have yet to hear diesel that sounds awesome :fighting2:
:laugh:
My favourite video (one of the first R32 ones i watched of the mk5 that made me want one!)
Here we go
Does sound great! Remember its has the added effect of a 3.0 engine though!
