Shadow Blue 07 GTI
KelvinatorNZ:
Got the pipe home, and had a decent nose over it. Preliminary investigations show that its actually pretty well put together.
Packaging couldve been better, the flange was poking out of the box (heh) when i got it, but seems although it was sticking out it hadnt been bashed around and was OK.
The stainless is very shiny
The pipe is also pretty damn big. 3" with bellmouthed flange. Standard size lighter for scale.
The welds are pretty decent, tidy with no splatter or obvious holes. Good penetration.
Comes with VBand to join the sections, and a new gasket for the turbo (although apparently its better to reuse the standard metal gasket)
As long as the O2 sensor adaptor arrives this week, ill endeavour to have this fitted this weekend. Sound clips to come.
KelvinatorNZ:
This is the pipe i purchased.

Was a huge risk, but has 100% feedback from 21 reviews. I havent fitted it yet so not 100% sure of fitment, but looks OK. Ive checked the flange and it appears straight and true with a straight edge, so thats a good start.

Hi mate, any idea where the rear carbon bumper piece came from? It looks nice IMO
KelvinatorNZ:
Hi, i cant be 100% sure as it was on the car when i got it, but it appears to be an OSIR rear

Lovely, thanks, I will look into it. Like the threat btw
