[VWchik911]

Hey guys,
This is my first post on here...& I need some help lol. I dont know what kind of exhaust to put in my Jetta. Im just looking for the best deal I can get for under 200 bucks. I dont want something that sounds like a go cart, but I also dont want something as loud as a flowmaster etc. Any suggestions? Any kind of positive input or links on where to look would be helpful! Thanks alot

Just a measly 2.0 lol, my car is really just more for looks than anything...guess im a cheater. I like the magnaflows but they are expensive...just looking for something like under or around the 200 mark.

For 200, it will be tough, maybe swing by a local exhaust shop and see what they can do in-house.

2.5 inch or 3 inch piping from cat-back and pick a muffler with a sound you like...magnaflow is always a good choice but can be a bit expensive.

a full catback will run you more than $200, but if you like Magnaflow check out www.hottexhaust.com and use coupon code "vortex" or "vento". i got a 2.5" stainless magnaflow catback for my 2.0 for $400 shipped a few years back you could also check the classifieds for a lightly used one to try and save a little cash.

This. Exhaust shops usually have good pricing and most carry Magnaflow or Borla (some carry both). Just dont do 3'' piping on your 2.0. 2.5" is the largest size I would do.

I got a catback installed by a local shop for my 1.8t for a little over 250. And that was full stainless piping with a magnaflow box too.
