The wheels don't float my boat. But if they float yours it's okay.

I like the colour and the lowering though. :D

can anyone tell me whats best?standard cat, sports cat or a empty box for back pressure?????

well obviously to minimise backpressure, you have to minimise air restrictions from the manifold to the tailpipe. a stock cat is more restrictive than a sports cat, which is in turn more restrictive than a straight through pipe, but bear in mind the emissions issue. personally, i would fit a sports cat

dont vag motors need back pressure tho?emissions isnt a problem mate.

i hadn't heard that, thought that reducing backpressure was beneficial for all four strokes. i'm sure there's someone else who can clear this up, i'll leave it to them lol
