Haha indeed it does! I love the way it sounds and I also love the way it looks. You're right, I agree it's very hard. I've seen a 5'' tip on one like you'd see on some rice banger and it was shameful. The Golf just looks silly with a fat tip, so I went for dual tips of a smaller diameter.

42nd Draft Designs 3'' Turbo Back Exhaust System

I was thinking of just getting a Boser hood when I respray the entire car and get a single bar grill then and have the bottom notch plastic welded.

Thanks, i'll be sure to post some quality sound clips when I get back form my holidays.

Thanks, it's one of the better options. My old FK sport grill was ugly, the notch fillers were garbage. The only problem with this one is that it isn't [technically] compatible with a Boser hood because of the built in top notch filler. Waiting on my exhaust still, being held up in Winnipeg...

Thanks, I also finally got a grill that isn't ugly a few months back. I was in a car show in Three Hills alberta and had supringly quite a few people of interest for such a basic car (when surrounded by saleens and other super cars and classics) It's a Kamei grill, take a look.

Just waiting for that item to come in the mail, it takes 5 - 15 business days for them to build the exhaust, considering they use Magnaflow products I don't understand the hold up but it is what it is. Are there any other VW enthusiasts kickin' around here?

Been a while since I've posted. Today I finally ordered my 42 Drafts Design 3'' Turbo-back exhaust system seen here http://www.42draftdesigns.com/categories/products/mk43intb.html . I've chosen to use the street package with the high flow Magnaflow catalytic converter. The car has been...

My research has made me determine that the Garrett GT28RS would be best for my project but I'm unsure of the housing size. I'm looking for around 300hp, there are built GT-R's and 180sx's I got to compete with these days.. and stock cobalts are pushing 13lbs if i remember correct? gotta keep up...

Preparing to head into stage 2 with a 3'' MAF, Eurojet FMI, 42 Drafts Design 2.5'' exhaust, 380cc injectors, GT28RS turbo, GIAC software and a Forge adjustable wastegate. The local shop that's going to reflash my ECU is recommending AWE 2.5'' exhaust for the 1.8T because they specialize in...

This is my buddy Kreso's rex that we did a B16B Type-R swap on. this is the first night we took it out after dropping the motor in. not too sure about all he's running, AEM CAI, skunk2 exhaust, Greddy headers, the usual ricer products. before the swap here he is racing...

Nice beemer I love the rims on it.

Thanks. I've just upgrade to Sachs performance clutch and a 225mm flywheel. The master and slave cylinders were replaced as well as the clutch line, lever and pivot pin.

Right, I will have to upgrade to a 3'' MAF and a 2.5'' downpipe and exhaust, I've been told AWE makes quality parts for the VW/Audi. 380cc injectors atleast, a larger FMI and then upgrade to stage 2 GIAC performance software. Some more pics of the car..

I have raised the car to 2'' (leveled the front with the back which was already sitting at 2'' while the front was 1.25'') and replaced both wheel bearings and both inserts for my struts. Today the car is in at Mr. Transmission getting a new Sachs performance clutch it in the car as I burned...

I'm not sure about their emission testing out here I actually only moved here in July from Newfoundland but I haven't heard about it. I also know guys running open headers and different exhausts that wouldn't pass as street legal and all I know is if a cop hears them they get pulled over and...

Nice well keep in contact I can certainly give you a few tips and ideas. A simple remap of your ECU can give you a very noticeable increase in horsepower bringing you to about 195hp. I'm working my way towards a K4 turbo and a 42 Drafts Design 3'' Turbo Back exhaust as well as upgrading my...

Thanks, I'm guessing you're talking about another GTI? If so great, it's an awesome, fun car.

Very nice car. Looks like it's fun to ride.

Yea I'm not a fan of the grill or the eyelids. I took the eyelids off, put in some 6000k "Crystal White" HID's and replaced the blue war lamps with white ones.. Look a lot better in person as usual but here they are. As for the grill I'm ordering a Kamei grill.

Just got a new FK badgeless grill and some kamei eyelids.. not too sure i like the eyelids, opinions? Also got a better pic of my car with the blue lamps in, I got ticketed for them the first night, I have white ones now. The notch fillers need to be modified.. the top needs a grind and...

3M Headlight restoration kit. works perfect if you can follow directions. thanks for the compliment everyone seems to like the wheel. Thanks for the info. I'll likely just end up buying a short shifter kit from B&M or whatever. I just put some blue Eurolite LED's in for my war lamps they look...

Yea that is rough!! You're lucky :( I would much rather have WOB GTi than a north american one. I'm ordering a Kamei grille it's goin to look fresh to death. I can't wait to get my new gear on and post some updates. Anyone got any information on cutting the stock shifter down for shorter...

As far as I know, as long as the colors projected from the front end are nothing besides white or amber your safe. Some guys have blue or violet HID's and get pulled over and ticketed, same with blue turn signal markers on the side mirrors. To a certain extent the cops will be lenient, there are...

I was actually thinking of some sawblade style rims. I would love for some Mercedes Alphards or even vette style blades but to find alphards around here is next to impossible. BBS makes some nice rims I may look into that, thanks for taking the time to look at my thread. Going to rock these...

That's my younger brother, he's 8 and knows bucket loads about different types of cars. It's all he's been taught growing up by his father, my step father.. Makes sense to me. I knew some of the mods the seller told me were a bit iffy, but whatever. I am taking it for what it is, doing a few...

Thanks for the warm welcome. I see already that the community is very kind and friendly. I suspect I will enjoy myself here.

This is my 2001 Volkswagen GTI 20V 1.8T 5 Speed Manual. I bought this car in September 2011 from another Volkswagen enthusiast who had this car tuned for his wife, who really did not need or want anything more than an average car to transport herself to and from work. She really disliked the...

Hello Everyone, my name is Josh. I am currently 18 years old and have very little mechanical experience and don't know a whole lot about car tuning or auto mechanics in general. I drive a 2001 VW GTI which I bought with previous mods which I will discuss in the appropriate board. My stepfather...
