Ebay Sports Cat 100cell.... Pics & Fitted
jammy78:
Hi all,
This might be of use to some people......
I purchased this from ebay for a stupid price, as it was worth a punt (seller has these as a auction also):
http://www.ebay.co.uk/itm/VOLKSWAGEN-GOLF-MK5-GTI-2-0-FSI-TURBO-STAINLESS-STEEL-3-SPORTS-CAT-EXHAUST-PIPE-/220959138790?pt=UK_CarsParts_Vehicles_CarParts_SM&fits=Model%3AGolf%7CPlat_Gen%3AMK+V&hash=item337230e3e6
These are the actual pictures:
I had this fitted by a VW specialist to my Leon Cupra (same engine as the ED30) today & it fits perfectly.
The garage was impressed with it, for the price! Now my car has a roar when you put your foot down. I can't comment on whether it will pass an MOT (mine is next month, so can update if anyone is interested) or how long will it last.
But if you don't want to spend £600+ on a brand name, this is a very good alternative!

i nearly went for one of those. i was just wary of the quality of the cat.
definitely let us know how you get on with it.
JMP:
Looks good! :happy2: How does your butt dyno feel about it? And did the carage use the clamp that came with the DP, is it decent quality?
E30Dom:
The flexible joint looks rather short imo... I believe Milltek run a shorter(but longer than that) flexible joint and have known to crack the flange weld...
JMP:
I just placed order on the same pipe :party: Hopefully its as good as you say, thanks for the tip :smiley: I have full engine mounts so Im not worried about the flexi joint. The unbelievable prices for these catted downpipes have put me off for buying one before.
