Has anyone or does anyone know how to customise an r32 exhaust to fit a diesel?
I don't wanna spend the ridiculous money on a miltek as its pointless on a diesel.
Someone on here has had their standard exhaust fabricated with the r32 tips..
Your help would be much appreciated as its completely stumped me!
Thanks in advance
George

Where are you located George? :pomppomp:

He is down south (hampshire area)
George i think your best bet would be to buy the backbox and go from there.
Obviously the r32 has the rear diff so it is going to be completely different to any fwd gti/diesel
-
I'm based in Hampshire mate.
Where can I get the back box?
-
It's not really rocket science. :smiley:
Fabricate a piece of pipe to run from where the rear silencer WOULD go, to the rest of the pipe.
Costs around £80-100 at a local exhaust shop.
-
Okay sweet.. Cheers
-
Before I got my gti, I was planning to get a 2.0 gt tdi (basic grill) and put the gt tdi front bumper/grill on aswell as an r32 diffuser and exhaust.
It's not the hardest job in the world, you can do the bumper yourself and any local exhaust garage should be able to make up a pipe for the backbox.
Failing that I think there are companies who make r32 back boxes for the diesels.
-
These seem to offer the service your looking for

Worth a call for education if nothing else on availability of parts for the ideas you have?
-
Oh sweet. The bumpers not an issue at all. Do you need a back box? Or
Could I just get a pipe going straight out to twin exit?
Yeah I'll also give that company a call :happy2: cheers.
-
Remove the back box just have the tail pipes... Thats what I have done let me know If you,wanna see any pics... And it sounds the same on a diesel!!
I got mine done from flowtech in East London...
-
Yeah pm me some pictures dude :pomppomp:
I assume it doesn't sound any louder?
-
It's not really louder...
Btw it's not a r32 style but will look like something like this with tips the middle...

Sick.. So all I'll need is the back box cut and a pipe to make up the difference? Seems pretty
Simple. Cheers for your help. I'll be in touch Friday about his adapters :drinking:
-
Do you have the tips?!
-
Yeah I do..
-
I got mine done catback stainless steel r32 style backbox delete for £170 at kingswinford tyres in Birmingham although this was last year march
-

Gonna give them a call tomorrow.
-

I don't know the name, but it's in totton (Southampton) we're
Going over tomorrow.
Where about's in Basingstoke? That's not far away from
Me at all.
-
There's an Exhaust Center in Basingstoke near the Retail Park. It's 20 minutes drive from me.
Haven't been there myself but two of my mates have had straight through systems put on their TDIs and it seemed perfectly good to me!
-
Do you know the name of the company?
-
It's Longlife in Basingstoke.
-
George the company in rotting is called Powerflow I'm looking to go there soon :happy2:
-
Where's that mate? I need to sort it all out by the 12th..
-
Haha rotting! It was meant to say totton
Bloody autocorrect
-
Totton tyre and wheels I think their called charge a lot. Fastfit(longlife) in Basingstoke were top lads when I went there. Totton people were quite rude I found when speaking to them.

Oh haha...
Yeah I've just spoken to them. They need to look at the car on the 30th if you fancy coming down?
Longlife seemed to be a bit more helpful, so may just go there.
Cheers :drinking:
-
My mate just took his supercharged Integra there to longlife and was also very happy with the service

I think I'll do the journey and go up there in the week :happy2:
-
Might be worth saying "Ben in the black murdered Leon diesel" recommended you. Second person iv sent there in 2 weeks but I believe good service should be rewarded.
