Google says it should be easy to find one.

So with this do I just buy the Large Bore Downpipe ? and then apply a back box to that also?

Custom metal works in Newtownmountkennedy can make up exhausts to suit almost anythin, might be worth giving them a call.. www.custommetalworks.ie

You need to speak to people from the likes of chippedire to find out what brands and parts work best with your car. Presumably your just after some noise as on a tdi, a proper remap will give vastly more improvement then an exhaust on its own.

I want performance and noise! will be getting remap very soon but want to sort exhaust first!

Well performance increase will be almost nothing or, in many cases,actually worse with a mismatched exhaust parts.

Also, fitting an exhaust without a matching intake to allow for the extra airflow and a remap to get all those working together is pointless IMO.

I have got it chipped in fairness so the exhaust is kinda a big thing I want to get done, all I need to know is where I can actually buy one from and not like in parts from separate places

And the money issue.. I love my current golf too much :P

I'd have to recommend that you get some advice on the best way to properly tune your car.

When you say chipped, if its one of the generic maps just downloaded from a laptop then its not ideal as its not suited to your specific car.

If you are going to fit an exhaust system and any other mods then you should have the car properly remapped on a dyno after the mods are fitted so as the ECU is set up to suit the mods.

Basically you want to chop the cat out them put a straight piece in then take the back box out and put in a straight pipe. What engine is in your mk4? is it a pd and what bhp is it. What bhp are you aiming for? 130 or 190? If you put in a full turbo back 3 inch pipe you will loose performance as the pressure in the enigne will be messed up.

As nissan doctor said, are you just putting in a chip or getting it mapped on a dyno.

Jimmith

Okay sweet for the advise, im getting it mapped and dynoed for full ECU and my Golf is a 1.9 100 bhp currently!

cormywormy

well with a good map and if your clutch and turbo is ok you will prob get 140 bhp max out of it. Dont put a big 3 inch pipe on it, will just be terrible . do your few mods then map it. keep an eye on dungdeal on mk4 owners websites a full turbo back milltek migh come up

A turbocharged engine dosen't need back pressure - it actually is the opposite the less restrictions in the exhaust the better- as for a straight through pipe it will make the car sound like a tractor
