NERO Posted October 17, 2012 Report Share Posted October 17, 2012 Ok, so I am considering buying a sdi lupo. But the problem is there is no one on ebay that makes a preformance backbox for the lupo. I can only find the standard one. http://www.ebay.ie/itm/Exhaust-Rear-Back-Box-VW-LUPO-1-4-TDI-1-7-SDI-1998-2005-/110636840192?pt=UK_CarsParts_Vehicles_CarParts_SM&hash=item19c2783500#ht_3601wt_1265There is also a universal backbox. http://www.ebay.ie/itm/VW-CC-PHAETON-SHARAN-TOUAREG-LUPO-UNIVERSAL-PERFORMANCE-EXHAUST-BACK-BOX-LMS-001-/150875918370?pt=UK_CarsParts_Vehicles_CarParts_SM&hash=item2320e7d022#ht_4831wt_12But, Is there an onother vw backbox that would fit the sdi lupo? such as passat, bora or golf?

Koop Posted October 17, 2012 Report Share Posted October 17, 2012 You appear to have mentioned SDI & performance in the same post. If you're getting an SDI just enjoy your ridiculous MPG. If you want performance get a sport - TDI if you want the best of both. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I know that sounds a bit lame. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

JoeA Posted October 17, 2012 Report Share Posted October 17, 2012 If attention is paid to economic driving (soemthing i did a little research into). Mine will do 40mpg. If you put your foot down everywhere you will drink it fast though. Decide, economy or not. Mine is averaging about 18mpg atm, but its nippy Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Koop Posted October 17, 2012 Report Share Posted October 17, 2012 Do you mean mileage or MPG? SDI wins on both counts tbh. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
JoeA Posted October 17, 2012 Report Share Posted October 17, 2012 No not at all. but it can do 40 mpg. An SDI will probably do 60mpg on a good day Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Hazy Posted October 17, 2012 Report Share Posted October 17, 2012 (edited) Just get a straight through stainless exhaust fabricated.It has also been noted that the SDI and the TDI have more or less the same exhaust system, except slightly different bends in places that can easily be sorted, so you could get a TDI backbox and fit that.

But would it be made for the TDI engine etc.Diesel engines will generally take more wear, standard.So, am I better I get a petrol? I a noob with this kind of stuff.
