Dark Posted December 18, 2007 Report Share Posted December 18, 2007 btw is that rust or a kind of weld heat stain on the metal. i guess it surely cant be rust on a stainless this new?i noticed my 6 year old standard gti rear box section has no rust on it at all. the actual pipe steel is discoloured as you would expect though.

EaRNi! Posted December 18, 2007 Report Share Posted December 18, 2007 stainless doesnt rust thats the whole point it just goes that colour when you weld it sometimes! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dark Posted December 19, 2007 Report Share Posted December 19, 2007 (edited) stainless does rust, not as quickly as mild steel. depends on impurities in the steel aswell. i know a few people who have had powerflow stainless systems fall to pieces from rust in just a few years.if it is just the weld colour and not rust then it looks ugly for sure, i have seen a lot nicer stainless welding without any discolouration.

Tigz™ Posted December 20, 2007 Report Share Posted December 20, 2007 Yes, after 6 months of waiting for them to take his car back for the manifold designing he got bored.He also had to take it back as the tail pipes didnt line up correctly.They fixed his, but I dont think they changed the design so all the ones Ive seen since all fit a little strange.

vworks41 Posted December 20, 2007 Author Report Share Posted December 20, 2007 Well they told me they've got a polo GTi booked in shortly and would be willing to modify that to fit are loops, so just have to see To be honest the bigger pipes are growing on me now ,and I've managed to fix the problem with it slightly off center aswell.If they decide not to change the design then it's there loss at the end of the day. plus I've got a mate who could easily change the tail pipes anyway.

Tigz™ Posted December 20, 2007 Report Share Posted December 20, 2007 I like the size of the pipes.I think they're perfect.Standard looks too small, and 3" looks like it would be standard.3.5" look like you've spent the cash on a new system.

Philplop Posted December 20, 2007 Report Share Posted December 20, 2007 Nooooooooo!Could they not make two different sized systems? Although it seems as though most people would prefer a slightly smaller system, so don't be letting us down vworks41! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Adam Posted December 20, 2007 Report Share Posted December 20, 2007 (edited) Smaller pipes are a must on that exhaust in my opinion, i think the GTI suits the original exhaust tips if thats not possible maybe a touch bigger, but the originals seem to suit the recess and the fact it is a small hatch, not a larger hatch such as an R32.

AlexS Posted January 7, 2008 Report Share Posted January 7, 2008 Would it be possible to transfer your tailpipes from your standard system to the Janspeed system? That seems like the best solution to me and would give the OEM look that most people prefer. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
