If your N/A and just want a little more noise it would probably work. I put a $100 axle back on N/A subaru and it made it sound a lot meaner. no power gains tho.

know that you might need to get it welded on, and maybe a custom axle section made…just more cost. you might be better finding a used cat-back you can bolt on yourself.

What you linked is just an expensive ass fart can.

If you really do only want a little extra sound then spend half that on a stainless steel perf core magnaflow. [www.performancepeddler.com](http://www.performancepeddler.com) type in the coupon code vwvortex4u. The bonus is that it won’t rot out by March like the one you linked I’m sure would.

Viper do you know anything about that catback you posted? I think you were just showing him a better/cheaper option, but I just want to point out to him that I find it hard to believe that an $80 dollar cat back will do anything but fit poorly, sound like ass, and turn into a pile of rust over the course of a single Buffalo winter.

Stupid cheap for sure and I had an ebay exhaust on my old teg and it was fantastic for the money.

x2 Why not just save up a little more and get some performance gains out of it, especially if you are considering modding a little further (which is the impression I’ve gotten from your other posts).

putting an aftermarket muffler on a stock exhaust is one of the poorest mods you can do to a car.

if you can’t afford a cat back, you can’t afford to own a car…much less modify one…

haha ok,well the only reason im reluctant to buy a full catback is because my car is an automatic, which from my previous posts ive found is basically pointless to upgrade unless its visually, so i figured if i can improve on the image and maybe the sound (the muffler) it wouldnt be too bad, this car is mine for atleast 4 years till its paid off, so untill then i want something visually attractive and sounds good too
