Right guys need a little bit of advice, I am thinking of getting a stainless steel custom exhaust made up for my mk1 golf gti, but don't know what sort of sound to go for, the car is lowered and has deep dish bbs rs wheels, but then I also have the standard bits to make it back to original, now what sort of sound would you guys have I wanted a deep dtm popping sound but then I'm thinking in the future when prices start to rise and people want origional my sound feltish ain't going to be very appealing all help appriciated

Just make it quiet enough to pass mot without choking it to death. Said that to my garage guy and got a noticeable performance lift out of my ADO16 with no other mods.

Quiet as the grandpa car it looks like but now it'll do a comfortable 85mph.

I think an exhaust that pops loudly on the overrun will end up driving you mad as much as the next owner. You'll attract disgruntled looks wherever you go, which will become tiresome. I would go more subtle.....

True I think that makes sense someone did say that like have a deeper note when the car is in higher revs ? Also mentioned a double top exhaust on it but being a mk1 I don't think a double tip.would suit it .

this is my full 2" stainless with just a centre box......it really drones like mad on a motorway so not recommended if you commute.
also the pops on deceleration will get on your nerves very quickly too.....they're a pain if trying NOT to get attention
if driving past the police too.
I had a powerflow one fitted on my old crx and that turned out to be unbearable.
maybe just get a different back box.

Thanks,its not seen daylight since 2014.......it'd probably turn to dust.
Jokes aside,what about a stainless system as close to standard but with a raspy back box.no rust and if its the same bore you could slip a standard rear box on for shows.

If you get a custom made one you can ask them to make it almost silent, especially if it's stainless. If you replicated the existing or OEM system but with an extra .25" bore throughout it will be freer flowing and still quiet.

Yeah I could ask them to make a little raspy, rather Than popping and after thinking long and hard I think ad said before a subtle exhaust is better lol , also makes you less likely to be driving like a boy racer hearing the loud exhaust when pulling off lol and sell me the Granada lol
