also check out the labree tp they make good products:
http://www.labreemotorsports.com/products_vw.html

but that looks good it already has the O2 sensor holes in there so it should be a direct bolt-on...i just have the universal magnaflow muffler an then the dual tips, in my set-up the muffler is located where the resonator was and then ran more pie the the back of the car and then welded the tips on there...

yea dude Brent is a real cool chill guy ...great customer service overall at labree...
tips arent that long maybe 12'' or so but they dont stick out at all i was there and made sure they put them in there kinda flush to the bumper...

yea i still have the stock down pipe, but im getting a 2.5" really soon...and it should sound a lil different with the bigger down pipe and flex-pipe as well....
you can see the tips in the videos i posted for you dont really have any side views of the pipes but i will soon...

the guy from labree said that the HFC is the way to go because the tp could actually hurt torque and hp but i read that they both bring the same amount of hp...anyone have the answer?
