Well I'm sure it wont be long before I am kitting my car out with REVO. Hopefully I will be upgrading my exhaust at the same time.
Thing is I don't know which exhaust will suit my car the best. Whats the lastest up-to-date system for the DSG ED30?
Also after seeing Red's rear :ashamed: I would really love a quad system :wink: I realize that wanting such a mod will mean either changing the rear valance and/or rear bumper.
I figured a cheap way of doing a quad exhaust, would be to use my original valance/bumper and simply cut out the other side. Then fit another infill piece surround jobbie thing!
I had a go on MS Paint, :ashamed: and yes the car is now lowered :happy2:

Cheapest option would be R32 parts and R32 style exhaust.

I dont think it would be to be honest. The best way would be to do what he has done with some clever plastic welding. and a custom back box.
The Edition 30 bumper suits the car really well i would keep it. :smiley:
-
The R32 rear like your TC looks amazing, and makes the car look real mean and solid and evil and wide and this one-time, at bandcamp.... :grin:
I would really love the R32 rear, but there are too many other mods i need. I think the Ed30 rear looks good too. I am sure that it would look good in black :evilgrin:
Does anyone know if the part is available separately. (The valance infill above the tails) Also are these definitely welded?
-
TC, Have you still got the Blueflame? If so, how is it? What exhaust dose Gary have? (it sounded really good on the motorway) :wink:

Not to sure what you mean here Monte. :smiley:
Also its just my opinion but i would not go changing anything on the body yet as you are still pretty new to the ED 30. i am not meaning to be condescending there bud, its just i found once you have been around the this forum and others for a while your ideas on what you want now will probably change, it happens to us all, and unless you have loads of money to throw at it again once you see something better then its best to wait and just concentrate on the engine and suspension bits. :happy2:

The Blueflame is ok sometimes i love it sometimes i hate it. :smiley:
And i dont know what Zorst Gaz has i thought he was still OEM.
-
Gaz has a miltek I think.

Yep he's got a Milltek :smiley:

Nope the infill piece around the exhaust tips comes as part of the bumper and it's NOT available separately :sad1:
-
I love the arse end of my 30, recently had a non res Milltek fitted to get rid of tdi looking rear pipes, I absolutly love the noise it makes and the way it looks with the special design twin pipes only available on the Edition 30.

^^^^any pics STEVEYD?

This is the part i mean TC. I wanted to just simply mirror the exhausts on the left, so I ended up with quad exhausts.

I know exactly what you are saying TC. Don't worry, the reason I am asking is so I don't jump straight into it. I am, at the moment just getting some ideas together. I know that if i wanted the quad system the bodywork would need to be done before the exhaust. If I got the R32 bumper, then it would be easier to get the exhaust, but it would cost £££'s for the R32 rear and paint. If I got my rear Ed30 valance modded like in the pic, it wouldn't cost hardly anything, but the exhaust may cost more to make.
I will probably end up sticking with the same sort of shape, as the original. I just want to look at all my options before I get a standard system and wish I would have saved some more pennies to get the R32 or quad pipes. I really like Reds set-up too.
Gaz has a miltek I think.

Was that a typo STEVEP? Did you mean "not available separately"?
Gary's Milltek sounded very good :drool:
-
thanx for the comments Monte, must get someone to do a drive-by so I can hear it, its not that loud in the car.
My vote goes for the R32 style like TC's, I think the quad set-up looks a bit fussy :smiley:

....Agreed about the quad. Which is why I changed to black ceramic tips. I've also recently had them tucked in a bit more so their appearance is more subtle. Much as I like the R32 zorst configuration I personally would be concerned that people thought I was driving a R32 when it's not one.
I prefer the aesthetic symmetry of .:R and quad arrangements.

hey mate
i,m planning to do an r32 rear next year. but have found a site that sells a rear valence with quad option for 170 ish euros-when i get home i will add alink to this so you can check it out.
i disagree with RR backside :booty: i luv it but for me the cheaper option will be an r32 ars!

^^^^
Interesting link, matsu :happy2:
I'm not quite sure what you get for €170 as the page says something about you needing the original VW R32 spoiler. Is it just the exhaust trim you get?
-
hi mate.
not sure what you get but seeing as each pic shows only a dfferent lower valence i,m guessing thats what we get.
i think is would be my first option if i didnt want the twin central pipes like TC.
i might email them and ask ,as a fallback plan :wink:

Looking at the price of their replica R32 bumpers for Mk4s, I reckon this is just the lower valance piece that attaches to the R32 bumper, plus as RedRobin points out the product page states:
Notice:
The add on is for the original VW Golf V R32 rear bumper. To mount this part you need to buy the original VW part also.
-
I think the phtoshop looks really good with the ed30 rear valance, but I would personally leave the original bumper alone and get a r32 bumper instead, that way when your done you can put the car back to standard and sell it more easily, and then sell off the r32 bumper and get some of the money back as theres always going to be somebody wanting one :happy2:
-
have to say monte that aparoon talks sense to me :drinking:
oh and im looking forward to seeing some new pics now your closer to mother earth! get em up monte! :party:
im kinda thinking you should do the enginey stuff first like TC said but looking forward to a build thread fellow yella belly! :P

"Kunststoff schwarz auch lackierfähig" :grin: :grin: :grin: jeess I am so immature. Well MATSU I am sure that would work, but the piece I was originally enquiring about was the insert part for those cut-outs. They only come on the valance though.
Aparoon, that really does sound like a good idea :happy2: I'll have a search for a reflex silver R32 rear bumper/valance.....but i won't hold my breath! Im sure if i did get one it would have to be painted!
NB07 if its a nice day 2mrw I will take a few pics of the car!

I've got milly quads on an abt valance. I've been toying with options for some time, going back to stock, r32 rear with insert for quads, ed30 valance plus new milly twin. I am Not sure what to
do......

....As you know, that's the setup I had on mine for a while. What is it particularly that makes you think about changing or what is it you don't like about yours?
Black satin ceramic exhaust tips? - Very low maintenance and eeeeeasy to clean.
-
TBH the performance is superb. They look fine...and with a clean up the tips look the business.
I just think its a matter of personal taste and think I prefer an oem look. For me I'd love a milltek twin on an ed30 valance, but we are getting into silly money for what is a cosmetic mod really....

Got any pics of these? I assume they are special order with Milltek?

dammit. i love that car from every angle RR ........ my only bug is the logo on the sides :wink:
cant wait to c it in the flesh mate!

Nice, although I'm not sure on whether those black tips would be too much on a black car. I'm also thinking of getting the diffuser vinyl'd in a matt carbon fibre effect so maybe that would suit the black tips???
-
RR What price are the black tips, I already have the ED30 TBE so wouldn't want to spend a lot to change the tips?
-
Hey Monte - I had a similar idea for my Ed30 - although it was for single split exhaust rather than quad.
http://www.mk5golfgti.co.uk/forum/index.php?topic=7990.msg123486#msg123486
I too prefer the Ed30 valance over the R32, but the mod may be too hard for DIY! :rolleye:
-
like that alot!!
