i'm planning on getting an exhaust this week, and i think i want to go custom to save some $

since i'm running a k03, and prob wont go BT (best ill do is a ko4 in the near future) i'm prob going to go 2.25 - 2.5in mandel bent, but should i buy the muffler myself and if so where should i go for it

also, what should i look for / avoid in a custom exhaust???

i've searched audizine and the forums for a while, but havent exactly found what i'm looking for... any help would be GREATLY appreciated

THANKS!

 

go 2.75" thats what most aftermarket exhausts are. Avoid $10 fart can mufflers commonly found on ebay. Go fora magnaflow, borla, or some other quality muffler since the custom piping wont be too expensive.
My milltek is 2.75" and i have a k03 and its perfect imo.. Much better performance.

Great sound. I have 2 of them with my 3" custom setup.

Buy them from ebay, you'll save a lot.

 

ok as for dp, and hi flow cats, should i even bother with that since i'm only running with a tiny turbo?

 

Is 3" too loud? I got a 2.8 so it might be different on your car...

 

onepoint8tee... did you get your milltek online? cuz i've been searching for one and cant seem to find just the muffler, only full exhaust systems

 

nvrmind searched and found your post about you ordering you exaust... for some reason i thought it was custom... my b

 

I like borla but for a DP check out techtonicstuning they make a nice 2.5 and wither get a HFC or a testpipe to get the biggest gains
