    Hey guys, i have a chance to buy a magnaflow catback off of a friend. Its the GTI dual exit one though. I currently am running a OEM GTI catback on my 2.5L golf, so i already have the valence and everything.

    My question is... will i run into any issues installing the GTI Magnaflow catback on my golf?

    Thanks for the link ^

    Cant find any 2.5'ers with the set up though. Ill just assume that if the OEM GTI catback setup worked on my car, the MF setup will easily fit in.

    Just for future reference to any 2.5'ers, did the upgrade, with some welding needed.

    It sounds very different from the same exact set up on a GTI. That being said, it sounds awesome. Will post a video as soon as i get the chance
