Looks good shinny shiny pipes. I like :approve::approve:.

It was 170 fitted Rappy, was interesting watching them fabricate it. Has a nice deep purr now and can really notice a difference in acceleration, was quite suprised about that

Great price!!:approve:

Thats the beauty with a stainless exhaust. You will always get a far better sound than from mild steel . Is it a powerflow back box?

No dearer than an original and as "cheap" as an TPS/GSF one.

Seems a great little extra if you have the spare cash or require a replacement.

Off topic, not seen you post for a while DSG4ME, are you ok mate?

Yeah I'm fine raps, thx for asking, I'm taking a bit of time away from forums, but my nose and fingers twitched yesterday with the caliper issues, it wouldn't be like VW to say you need £900 of calipers when £90 of motors would do the same trick would it, didn't want the user getting conned by them, cos a caliper is normally only a bin job if it's leaking or cracked.

Good good, please to hear you are ok :approve::approve:. Its the VW way:biglaugh:. I only found out from my mechanic that you could just replace the motors.
