Clairey Fairy Posted July 13, 2007 Report Share Posted July 13, 2007 Is it just me or is are the GTI tailpipes supposed to be all unshiney? Coz ive been poilishing mine like mad but its just all rough and gross.Im off to powerflow on weds to get some NOISE coz i miss the ear bashing i got from my A3. I wana go the whole hog and get a complete new system. Bu the other half reckons i should just get the centre box taken out, or something about chopping a bit out and putting it together i dont have a clue what he's jibing about.SO yeah basically, i just want a nice, deep rumble, none of that scoobie "bob bob bob" rubbish - and nothing chavvy that says "look at me ive just got a bolt on from halfrauds"Any ideas?

Little Green Giant Posted July 13, 2007 Report Share Posted July 13, 2007 we managed to get mums golf GTi exhausts shiny its the only one that i have seen with shinny/clean standard exhausts, just get some metal polish on it! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Joe Posted July 13, 2007 Report Share Posted July 13, 2007 The Bastuck has no centre box and according to Luke (db) his isn't to loud.As for the original GTi exhaust. Try some wet and try on it and then autosol. It is brushed so will never come up as shiny as say a stainless powerflow tailpipe. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

db Posted July 13, 2007 Report Share Posted July 13, 2007 Or get some wet and dry use that with metal polish and work from harsh to finer grades. Worked a treat on mine, you could see your face in mine once i'd polished them up with a cloth style="vertical-align:middle" emoid=":)" border="0" alt="smile.gif" /> Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
nev Posted July 14, 2007 Report Share Posted July 14, 2007 powerflow exhausts, Ive now had 8 from them on different vehicles but I only use them if I need a custom design where a standard fit is not suitable.Some have been great and some really crap.Depends on who fits them in the one I use.As far as removing the box goes, I wouldnt just take it out but I would use the smallest one they have just like a bottle size or you will get a chav escort/corsa rasp and you dont want that on a VW do you?Polishing the gti tail pipe, Its a brushed aluminium look, I think it looks ok like that, but if you want it clean there are only two polishes that will do it for me and one is good old AUTOSOL and the other is special alu polish called BELGON.Good luck Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Clairey Fairy Posted July 14, 2007 Author Report Share Posted July 14, 2007 Cheers nev - good advice style="vertical-align:middle" emoid=":)" border="0" alt="smile.gif" /> Im trying some autosol for sure and see where it goes from there. Ive got a Top Gear induction too which i stole from my A3 but i seriously doubt i'll be able to squish that in?Has anyone had any experiences (good or bad) with Pflow in Basingstoke? style="vertical-align:middle" emoid=":blush:" border="0" alt="blush.gif" /> Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

nfbr Posted July 15, 2007 Report Share Posted July 15, 2007 nothing chavvy that says "look at me ive just got a bolt on from halfrauds"And your going to powerflow??? Bit of a contradiction isnt it??And that "Bob-bob-bob rubbish from a subaru" Isn't rubish... Its one of the best sounding engines ever. boxer engine with Un-equal length manifolds, thats why they make such a great sound. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
