Hi all
Looking at exhausts and I like a sound of a exhaust I've seen on line
My question is anybody fitted it?
It's sounds immence IMHO but that's just me
But also how does it preform
How well is it made etc etc
It's same exhaust as on my bike
Akropovic exhaust it's on a mk6 gti so prosume it'll fit mk5 with slight bod mods
-
That's expensive stuff, don't they make exhausts for supercars?
-
They make them for the clio 197/200 aswell there epic apparently
-
Akrapovic are very very expensive.
Akrapovic Downpipe is about 1500 quid.
Total rip off IMO
-
Well demon Tweeks sell them and it was not that expensive ?
-
^^^^ How much then for a sports cat TBE?
Chuck a link up. Have you seen those fugly tips they do, form (and not good form) over function.

£1373 for a back box wtf!

-
^^^^ FFFFFFFFFFFu*knig hell! that's ridicules IMO. Titanium tips though!! TBE must be £3k+ then :signLOL:
Going to have to go some to beat the Powervalve on me Eddy! :notworthy:
-
Like is say.. rip off!
-
I thought it was pretty good value.
How cheap are turbo back systems for golfs then?
The sound alone is worth it imo
-
Hopefully that's the link 2.20min onwards gives sound clips
Just loved the sound as they change gear
-
That's the dsg farts, get it better with much cheaper exhausts
-
Ideas then please mate

Not being funny but I won't pay £1000 to have a nice exhaust that has a cheap ebay special braided part it looks terrible!!

What are you talking about?
-
From the picture
The exhaust has that terrible flexi braided part ?
That's mainly seen on ebay cheap crap
Why is this on a top looking exhaust
No flex should be needed if car spasific .
-
Well after looking about
They've all got them :0
Never seen these before on high end exhausts just the Chinese stuff
Well live and learn ;)

What a load on nonsense. The flexible is there so that the movement of the engine isn't transmitted down the full length of the exhaust.
-
Nonsense eh lol
Well I'm learning loads about golfs
As in the scooby Evo world any exhaust with braid on it got laughed out the garage pal.
As it always corrodes and is a weak spot.
But maybe the braid is better quality.
And my solid exhaust worked fine on my old car
Is the oe exhaust braided too?
Maybe just as different car etc ie engine moves about a lot ?
Just curious as why
-
Vw ain't scoobs.
You can't transfer a lot of the tuning styles over.
Two different beasts.
-
I know
But I'm trying to learn ,quick.
As I'm doing my car ASAP
I'll just dei wrap and wire it.
Hopefully protect it a bit .
As they all have them.
-
Ok I can see both sides of this, the reason mkv gtis have a flexi in the downpipe is because of the way the engine spins/rotates when running and under load it moves back and forth on and off throttle thus requiring a flexi in the downpipe to stop excessive exhaust movement
The Scooby engine spins/rotates and moves in a complete different manner whilst driving and under load due to its flat 4 configuration hence why aftermarket exhaust manufactures don't need to include a flexi joint into the system
-
Don't DEI wrap the flexi joint either mate ,if its a good quality downpipe it'll be made of stainless any way and wont corrode in any way shape or form
-
Brilliant
Thanks for the information and great replies guys
A day without learning something's a day waisted

This is a cheap ebay flexi...
(https://www.mk5golfgti.co.uk/forum/proxy.php?request=http%3A%2F%2Fthumbs2.ebaystatic.com%2Fd%2Fl225%2Fm%2FmdC_017zPgaFI2BNLVytlew.jpg&hash=47e9fc3686b0e4864f69ee9c79d6b6f5dd9708ee)
Because it isnt lined, over time the inside contracts and reduces in internal diameter of the flexi..... = BAD
This is a good flexi...

You can see that it has a corrugated liner.. which wont contract..... =GOOD

Still looks err
But ok I'll accept it ;) well ill haft to

Emailed a few companies and Hayward and Scott have got back they will design and make a turbo back 200 cell exhaust 3" to my spec for 1100 fitted
But they need my car to design or build onto it.
Any input that would help me please ?
-
What's wrong with milltek or bcs or apr. They all do off the shelf kits

Happy to chat to anyone looking to have their mind put at rest or interested in the engineering aspect of our system :happy2:
cheers

Why bother and why not go with a system that's been tried and tested on a Mk5 Golf like all the systems that have been mentioned?

Never liked miltek after previous exhausts with build problems on 2 cars .
Love the power valve exhaust the other company do

No offence is ment to anyone during the making of this tread
