My mk4 golf GTI

[midge]

Just a single pic as i quite like it! really please with this car, had it a few months now, just put the TT comps on it and i think it looks great!
Has a 3" down pipe and de-cat, its also been mapped at some point as theres a chip init, i drove a standard 1.8T today and it felt very slow! this is going on the RR on Saturday, will be great to see what it makes!

What year is it mate? Is it an AGU or AUM? AGU has a k03, so won't really flow any more than about 190-195bhp, the AUM has the ko3s and will flow to 235 ish.

Easy way to tell is the AGU is cable throttle and AUM is DBW

What the f**k is that exhaust?!

AGU, ive had a few of these and A3's, this is by far the best one ive had, heated leather recaro interior to

Awww boo Russ! I got one cheap off a mate that needs a few things doing and thought I was onto a winner with cable throttle.

Oh well I've just got some H&R coilovers for 80 quid off a mate

The AGU has the better engine mate, it has a better flowing head and a few additions to the bottom end meaning you can get over 300 bhp with standard internals - the later ones are a bit cheaper made - still great mind.

What you want is an AGU with a Ko3S hybrid, decent intercooler, 3 inch downpipe with a decent exhaust, a decent map and you will have a very powerfull daily that will still do over 35 mpg

Daniel, the car came with that exhaust, some dodgy twin exit thing, the car also had a body kit on when i bought it and some horrid 18" wheels, its come a long way! the Exhaust is the last thing to lose, just waiting on my girlfriend to decide what she wants on there, i'd prefer a single 2.5/3" but she cant decide between that or the normal twin that people get.

​Do you think if i take the back box to an exhaust place they can hack the end off and fit a single 3" pipe?

My girlfriend is the main driver of the golf hence the 5 doors for my son.

Most of those twin pipe things go into a horrible U shape rather than into the box so I think it would be possible.
