Yeh the difference is shawns exhaust rattles all the neighbors & mine
only rattles his house. It's all a matter of preference anyway I used
to have loud annoying exhaust's but I guess I'm getting old, even
though shawn is older :-) My GTI is pretty qiiet but for really only
having a exhaust mod done to the car I'd say 112 road hp is pretty
good for a 125k 1.8 16v. That translates into 134 crank hp which is
even with the 2.0 16v without the torque ( thats a whole other
project) So I'd say that the Quiet, Boring, Snoozer Gillett's work!
BTW: I did take the G60 muffler off the A3, back on went the stock
crap. So quiet you wonder if the car is running. (now that's toooooo
quiet)
Maybe when I do a 2.0 8v in my roc I'll go TT race header & full
stainless 2.5 system, 170 hp here I come :)
