The exhaust has that terrible flexi braided part ?
That's mainly seen on ebay cheap crap
Why is this on a top looking exhaust
No flex should be needed if car spasific .

What a load on nonsense. The flexible is there so that the movement of the engine isn't transmitted down the full length of the exhaust.

Scooby mic:
Nonsense eh lol
Well I'm learning loads about golfs
As in the scooby Evo world any exhaust with braid on it got laughed out the garage pal.
As it always corrodes and is a weak spot.
But maybe the braid is better quality.
And my solid exhaust worked fine on my old car
Is the oe exhaust braided too?
Maybe just as different car etc ie engine moves about a lot ?
Just curious as why

cuprajake:
Vw ain't scoobs.

You can't transfer a lot of the tuning styles over.

Two different beasts.

Scooby mic:
I know
But I'm trying to learn ,quick.
As I'm doing my car ASAP
I'll just dei wrap and wire it.
Hopefully protect it a bit .
As they all have them.

greygti:
Ok I can see both sides of this, the reason mkv gtis have a flexi in the downpipe is because of the way the engine spins/rotates when running and under load it moves back and forth on and off throttle thus requiring a flexi in the downpipe to stop excessive exhaust movement

The Scooby engine spins/rotates and moves in a complete different manner whilst driving and under load due to its flat 4 configuration hence why aftermarket exhaust manufactures don't need to include a flexi joint into the system
