Default Should I?

So i went to an exhaust shop today to get an estimate ona 3' straight pipe from the cat-back and they said $150... would i be better off just saving up to like 950 for a milltek or whatever else vehicle specific exhausts run for?

also, has anyone done this? just run a straight pipe?

thanks

^ you mean no resonator or muffler?

my friend's straight pipe buddy club spec II on his hatchi is ****** LOUD. try it out and record some clips for us =P

p.s. - but the shiny muffler sittin at the rear end on quattros is sexy.
p.s.s. - i found a shop near my house that can do 3" DP's for our 180 TTQ's foraround $300. if we get a group buy, we can prolly get it for cheaper. check them out. ~> www.evolutionracewerks.com

Straight pipe TT=sounds like a TTractor.

A guy on Vortex runs straight pipe duals and doesn't like it. He said at low RPM/idle it sounds terrible and many people have told him so...several people have called his car a tractor. Does sound great wide open as you'd expect, however.

Also, a 3" catback won't do you all that much good since the downpie is the most restrictive part of the entire exhaust system.

tech tuning (I believe) sells one, 875 when I was gonna buy it but he said it is loud. I already have a red car I don't need the police anymore on my ***.

Just thrown in a strait through magnaflow muffler and your good. They are only about $100. $250 is a pretty good deal aslong as they use mandral bends.
