FYI: OEM Votex Stainless Steel Sport Exhaust for the Jetta 2.5 are on clearance!!!

[ArminT]

ill call again but will probably be the same result.

my dealership said it was tips, and then rear muffler and tips, and then he didnt even know what it was. then asked for 260$. i dislike my local dealers... >.< I ordered off vwdiscountparts.com < dealer in california if anyone cares.

[06_JETTA_MASTER]

My local dealer said it was a "silencer" and they have to order and it would take 3 weeks

They price was right but the description, way off!

[DboyDub1]

Just got off the phone with ECS. This exhaust is 2.25". John from over there also mentioned it should provide a gain of 8-10 HP. I'm ordering this weekend. If they are still in stock.

[shiva916]

yikes, my local's part guy knew exactly what it was as soon as I gave him the part number. Said he had gotten a few calls about this due to the price. He was very helpful and said he would order it for me right away, didn't even ask for a deposit. Just took my name and number and said it should be in on wed. and told me not to worry if I couldn't go get it right away. should be a little over $230 out the door after tax (I hope) lets see when tomorrow comes.
Kinda makes me like my local a little more after hearing all these stories.

I called the localest dealer yesterday, they wanted $235 or so plus tax, paid in full up front. I found it online out in Cali (mentioned earlier, dgdg.com dealerships) for $185 + about $36 S&H; called next closest VW dealer and they quoted the $219.xx MSRP plus tax (didn't really know what it was, it's in VW computer as 'Silencer', that's it). No deposit necessary, it'll be here in a few days (maybe tomorrow), and parts hours there are MUCH more amenable. Guess I may have found 'my dealer' (only had the car for a month, haven't owned a VW in almost 20 years, since I had my Bug). Looking forward to this!

FYI people, the guy that I ordered it from called it a "Silencer" too. However, I had him physically pull it out to look at it. When he described it to me, I knew that this is a cat back system.

My shipping initially was around 30$ too... :/ until it increased to 90$ because of size and weight..

Yup. just order off the internet..

Yeah my part sales rep straight up had no clue so i wasnt going to take chances with him.. pfft hillbilly

[PhAyzoN]

Probably going to order one of these, then hunt down a chip dealer near me (since 20squared seems to have vanished) and get me a Stage 2 flash

[blackstone3]

just bought for $180 shipped from keffervw online. so well see what happens!

[GnarlyGash]

Just so everyone knows... the system looks exactly like the picture I posted originally.

[shiva916]

so is it made for a 2.0T? the first pic in this thread looks like a turbo catback. It is missing the resonator between that last bend in the pipe and where it would mount up to the factory location. The 2.5L should have an additional resonator and a longer straight run to mate up with the factory clamp location.

Here is the pic from ECS.

I stand corrected... pic updated.

[dirtydub33]

to anyone that lives in pa call this # 866-304-0880. they can order them for 219.95 plus 25.00 for shipping, they have a few left.

[shiva916]

Just wanted to be sure.

FYI I posted in the thread on the Jetta/Golf V page that my exhaust came into the dealer today and the parts guy checked it out and said that the clamp was missing. He heard that there may be similar issues with the parts shipping out of the NJ warehouse. He ordered me another one out of the TX warehouse and said he will make sure it is all there before I go get it. Looks like I'll be waiting till next week for it now but for getting me a complete system!

[Doc TwoPointFive]

When giving my dealer parts guy the part # he looked it up without issue and said it was $219. I'm in DE so there is no tax. $165 shipped is a way better deal though, really wishing I had jumped on that. Shipping for that beat is probably at least $30-50. Again nice find to the OP. Should have mine on this week, can't wait to hear it.

[eatrach]

I got mine today. I will try to attempt to have it install before Christmas. My christmas gift from me to me

[black_plague_21]

Hmmm... I bet you didn't. They quoted me $110 for shipping, bringing the total to about $275... The regular $16 standard shipping rate obviously doesn't apply for the full exhaust.

Paul emailed me back with a shipping quote of $100.


I called my local dealer who told me that his computer showed the price was !0% higher than the MSRP on the VW Outlet site- marked up like everything else they sell over the counter. I and asked for a discount, mentioning that other dealers online were near $160...and that their manager has a deposit on a Golf R for me...and the parts manager's heart grew three sizes, selling it to me for $186 including tax.

[black_plague_21]

^^ Nice deal!

I wasn't going to pay $100+ for shipping through Keffer so I decided to give my local dealer a ring.. Turns out, they were pretty fair, offering it for the $219 plus tax as advertised. Out the door for $230 and will have the exhaust in about a week.

ANYBODY have a sound clip??? It would be much appreciated!!

[eatrach]

I got mine yesterday. All i can say, I robbed the VW dealer. Very very good quality, and let me say this that I bought a supersprint Exhaust 2 years ago for my E46 330i zhp; this exhaust far exceed the welding quality of the supersprint, and the welding seems is done much more professionally.
I am happy

Black and Brian, I told you guys to call the place I bought it from. They charged me 40 dollars for shipping, included in the package was Jetta rubber floor matts, from Arizona to SoCAL.

[vr6-kamil]

I installed it today and got the resonator cut out and sounds very good. Way better and louder than stock, you can't even hear stock. This one it sounds amazing on start ups and can even hear it idelling. Gets way better on high rpms. Sorry won't do a sound clip

[brian81]

I used the link that you provided and found the price was $160.59 but the shipping at $16.06 was obviously wrong, so I called and they said the shipping to Connecticut would be $105. So using the local guy made sense for me.

Meanwhile I found a discount card that came in the mail last week; a plastic thing the size of a post card that will get you $500 off your best deal on a new car through April, and 10% off parts and service (up to $500) as well. So when I apply the card the exhaust will be $157.50 + 6.35% tax. I'm happy.

BTW, if this VW closeout is just too much savings for anyone, you can order from Quark VW's ebay store and pay $1285.74 with shipping if spending more will make you feel better.

good stuff.
I installed mine yesterday. Sound a tad better than factory. I don't want my car to sound too loud. But it does sound like I have an aftermarket exhaust-not to the level of AWE exhaust sound.
I will try to post video

[06_JETTA_MASTER]

I found it for 152 but shipping was 65 to me so it ended up at 217, I couldn't go wrong for that price so I ordered it since local dealers wanted 230+ tax which is high as **** in the Chi.

Any vids of the sound yet, I'm hoping its a nice tone, no drone, and not loud. I'm expecting this to be true since its 2.25", the guy at vwdiscountparts.com actually pulled it out and measured it for me, his names MikeP, very helpful guy answered all my questions and calculated out the total before I ordered through the site.

Ubercrew ^^ he posted a video in the jetta V forums.

Im really thinking about removing one of the mufflers to see what it sounds like.

[06_JETTA_MASTER]

Sounds great exactly what I was looking for, for now at least.

If you want more sound just remove the middle muffler and it should be the same sound just louder. I will probably do that eventually when I really start modding this car!

[ArminT]

What about the end muffler? I might as well do it custom now if I'ma do it at all you know. Before it's on.

[06_JETTA_MASTER]

If you want to get rid of both of them then whats the point of buying it The end muffler is mostly the one delivering the sound the middle one is acting as a resonator.

[ArminT]

See, I didn't know that. Def keeping the end muffler then. Idk I saw awe exhaust was with no muffler . Haha thanks for the info I always wondered

[shiva916]

sounds good, but i hope some other vids get put up with other demos, getting on it a little more, some normal driving and maybe some interior shots too. That would all be great

Can't wait to get mine and get it on.

[06_JETTA_MASTER]

See, I didn't know that. Def keeping the end muffler then. Idk I saw awe exhaust was with no muffler . Haha thanks for the info I always wondered

That's why the awe is so loud because after that mid muffler the exhaust picks up sound again, well thats my theory at least

I'm not an exhaust specialist bro so I could be wrong

Hey you know more then me

Hmmm idk, ill see. I think removing the mid muffler is best but ill seek some others opinons before i give it a go. I def like the sound of it stock tho

Just leave it as is at first, most of the time the sound changes after a few hundred miles then if you want more loud remove the mid muffler.

Yeah your right. thats what i will do
