before i go and order my remus exhaust, i was just looking on the VWR website and noticed that there exhaust is cheaper than remus. dose anyone have the VWR one fitted and is it any good? i noticed on the picture they show you its fitted to a ed30, dose the ed30 have a different exhaust from a standard gti?
sorry about 100 questions in one, im just stuck in a pickle and trying to expand my VW experience. :rolleye:

Badged up VW Racing but made for them by Milltek. :happy2:
-
Made by Milltek but has a smaller rear back box

What would this mean, more or less noise? Or just effect the air flow?

I had the VWR tuning golf for a week or so and the exhaust note was very addictive, I think it sounds great! :evilgrin:
-
Hmm, and was it louder or quieter than the equivalent Milltek, is the VWR one resonated on non?

More noise and slightly less back pressure, which makes it better for top end power.

....I've had a Milltek smaller back box version for a year now. Am very pleased. Changed to smaller 'Res' box a few months since this pic was taken (back box is still the same).

I have a VWR system being fitted in 3 weeks time along with the rest of my Stage 2+ conversion. Not sure if you can wait that long for a review tho.

Unsure if you ever had this installed? Any chance of some rear shots of the car with the VWR exhaust on? Interested to see if the back box is visible or not from the rear view.
:smiley:

Yeh had this installed. Sounds fantastic. Not intrusive at all at a cruising speed, but sounds :evilgrin: when you give it some beans. I will get some photo's when I have a second. Sorry I have been pretty busy lately with work so not had much of a chance.
-
Would be much appreciated if you could. I'm looking at going down the VWR route as their back box is shallower than the standard Milltek system. Just want to see whether it is less obvious from the rear than the stock Milltek system.
:happy2:

Where abouts in Surrey are you based? I am happy with the look. Pics to come soon!
-
Near Kingston. :happy2:

I've been toying with the idea of going with the VWR exhaust for a while. Currently I've got a RES MIlltek TBE and I'm just not hapy at all with the sound. I've also got the non-res section and that is too boomy and loud.
Anyone tryed the above combo then gone to a VWR back box can offer a review.
Btw been considering contacting Milltek about this as spent over a £1k on their bits without aural satisfaction. Performance and looks wise they are great tho.
-
might nip outside and take of pic of it for you :happy2:
-
Sorry about the quality of the pics...

Hope it gives you an idea. :happy2:
-
Oh yes...very impressed. :happy2:
Back box is spot on. Do you have the rear section or complete system? I presume full system if you are running REVO 2+.
-
Yeh have the full system. Looks fantastic, sounds great. Very civilised when cruising but when you hit the go pedal, it produces the noise you want to hear!
-
The silencer looks a little smaller than the regular Milltek one (not that that bothered me). Other that it lookds the same.
Its got an R logo on as well I believe, nice touch! :wink:

Rob, you have PM :wink:
