2008 Golf GTI Edition 30
Ill be watching this one.
My ideal exhaust....
Hidden
Quiet below 4,500rpm
Raucous above 4,500rpm
That what I can drive it "normally" around town/home roads and not let anyone know its an animal and then when I cane it I get the nice sound that goes with the engine.
ive got a powerflow backbox which im selling and thats not too loud, still has a nice growl to it though

I spoke to Nick @ Hillpower today about this very thing - If you can leave your car with him for a minimum of 2 days (better being 3) he can provide a custom built stainless cat back zorst with silencer and hidden pipe. He said its a total custom fit PER INDIVIDUAL CAR & top quality with much better quality silencer than most. Said it offers good gains & is not boomy on the motorway or cruise but you can tell its not standard (if that helps)
With Cliosport discount its £346 built, supplied & fitted (I think that inc vat)
Needs 2 weeks notice up front

got it for £260, garage near me were doing a deal 20% off until xmas so i ordered it on 22nd december, should sound really nice when u put the foot down and nice and subtle when taking it easy, just like the magnex i had on my old valver was, but i will let u know mate.
i have heard mate that the ktec systems tend to get a bit shabby at a couple of months....i was going to get a magnex system 6x4 oval but i since changed my mind...im now getting a powerflow exhaust system with a pipe either side cut nicely into the bumper so you cant see the the exhaust box cos the magnex hangs quite low....if you go the powerflow website the actually state that in some cases they get the most bhp increase and torque..in their test the magnex gained small torque but lost bhp overall!!!...just can with powerfloe of course get lifetime warranty and enable them to customise the sound of the exhaust
Just like mineQuote: Originally posted by yeecup on 05 January 2004

I didnt go for the K-Tec because Ive seen too many wobble, and rust. Roamers is practically falling off the car at the moment, in bits!!!
The Magnex is far from silent, but is no where near as loud as even the quite K-Tec.
Theres a clip of mine here: http://www.leemather.plus.com/images/Newclio/magnex.avihttp://www.leemather.plus.com/images/Newclio/magnex.avi
Supersprint!!! Come on you know it makes sence!!!!

To be honest Im sure it could be a little closer to the bumper, but it does get very hot so its probably best it isnt!! The problem is it cant sit too close as the the exits are a little on the large side. 3" would have been prefered but Magnex didnt do one. When the car is wet, there is a dry patch above the exhaust.
As for any performance gains Ill find out at the next Power Engineering rolling road day.
There are more pictures here, youll see its not as low as that other shot makes it look. http://www.leemather.plus.com/images/Newclio/index.htmlhttp://www.leemather.plus.com/images/Newclio/index.html
yup nice effect, but anything plastic on a car tends to look a bit cheap.. IMO a bodycoloured agressive lip would look good at that level on the front... anyone know of where i could get one?? ((not the ktec front either thats too big ))
N1.. u geting some alloys nxt them? what type i was thinking of HYDRAS in 17" (OZ i think)

i think the reason that picture of the magnex appears to be hanging a bit low is because the system was designed to fit up to 2002 models since then magnex has modified the fitting kit to fit newer models, i know this cause i spoke to magnex direct and they had a 2003 sport in to adjust the fitting.
Yeah well yours MAY be bigger BUT!!! should i at some stage have a homosexual moment i can alway fit my CAT back in and just keep the rear two sections.
Dogmaul, just a quicky, fitting my zorst 2morrow, did you have 2 mod any brackets to make it fit proper??
