Let's here your exhaust.

[The Dust Bunny]

I searched and couldn't find one so I decided to start one. With this engine being able to produce so many unique sounds, I think we should have a place where some of us can post up what ours sound like. Also, this should be able to help others when they want to find out what setup they'd like to run.

I'll go first.

Mods to exhaust system:
"Suitcase" (first muffler) and resonator delete. Cost:$75

Not an actual exhaust vid but you can get the picture. Sounds better then this in person tho. My exhaust consists of a USP testpipe mated to a modified EJ catback system. PO cut out the muffler on the EJ and replaced it with a Dynomax muffler. He said it use to drone on the highway so he decided to put a different muffler in. I think it sounds pretty mean but I might eventually pick up a different exhaust.

I haven't installed my magnaflow yet, but soon. I have installed my intake though.



Prototype, the power steering reservoir really kills all room in there. I had to shape an S instead of a typical 45 degree or 90 degree. I'll clean it up later with some aluminum piping and heat wrap.


Crap video.

I get on it around the 7 minute mark. This was pre-headers and test pipe. So it is strictly AWE Cat-back and BSH CAI.

I cant even believe I did that. I'm the english correcter most of the time. Now I'm the corrected.

Just use the MK5 NEUSPEED P-FLO. The Power Steering reservoir can be ziptied off to the front bumper and won't interfere.

I think if I had a power steering reservoir, I'd just take the time to tuck it away... It's simple to do, just gotta find the space for a clean delete.

Great idea Dust Bunny.

I'm looking into getting an APR Carbonio CAI and an AWE Touring Exhaust. Anybody got those that could post a vid?

eurojet headers with high flow cat, small res, magnaflow cutback and CAI


Gopro quality

Sounds pretty nice man. From what Ive heard, I never really liked the way the Magnaflow sounded but maybe its your headers that change the tone some.

[GTACanuck]

Custom Magnaflow Setup

[The Dust Bunny]

That sounds pretty good. I never really liked the magnaflow but that sounds good. Got anymore clips?

[wingtsang]

FULLY CUSTOM, HEADER, HIGH FLOW CAT, CATBACK

Got any clips of how it actually sounds?

I've always liked it just because I feel it gives the 5 cyl a slightly more VR throaty tone. but the headers absolutely changed the tone once the car gets to around 2800 rpm

This thread has the potential to be badass, or full of fail. And it's taking a turn for the worst.

why?

[itskohler]

Most exhaust options for this engine make the car sound like a mid 90s Honda that was inspired by the Fast and the Furious.

Somehow loud and obnoxious became the new black.

If I wanted quiet I'd drive a prius LOL

And people like you give us a bad name. Thanks!

[itskohler]

Yes I am serious.

[darkorb]

Most sound decent, not a big fan of res/muffler cut outs

[itskohler]

Those sound the best. Very similar to a g37 note. But hey, to each his own.

Tsudo Downpipe w/ Neuspeed replica exhaust and a custom intake

I have recently installed a Cherry bomb resonator and it sounds a million times better but no videos/sound clips yet

That's what I'm running. It sounds pretty good. I love it.

This sounds pretty good. I love this. May I ask a price?

I'm not against loud, I'm against rice.

Please, not on the first page. No one asked if you liked it or hate it. No one forced you to press "+Reply to thread". Please, for the respect of vwvortex and the Volkswagen group, post stuff that will benefit this thread. Thank you and have a great dubbin day.

[Rabbidrabbitt]

Maybe I need to post a vid of my exhaust so everyone can hate that I have 3" on mine.

Oh it don't matter. There are only a handfull of 2.5L owners that aren't broke and the majority will continue to read this hoping for a cheap upgrade or exhaust note that sounds like we're boss. If we had money we would have gotten an R.

Welcome to the forums, please leave you purse at the door.

Don't post something and expect everything you get in return to be positive. You subject yourself to criticism the moment you put something online, for all to see, whether good or bad. Get over it, its just the forums anyways. If you get bothered by someone stating an opinion, you should leave the tex forums and go to some other less serious forum.
