Hey Ryan, do you have any sound files from your side-exit exhaust? i wanted to make the same thing, but i wonder how loud it would be with an aftermarket silencer. which one do you have in the car?

No I don't sorry!

Even with a silencer it's bloody loud. I would honestly say that as a general mod for a road car it's not worth the hassle! It's cost me over Ã‚Â£500 over the last 2 years, it doesn't look that good, it's too loud, it scrapes over EVERY speedbump and you'll never be able to hear the radio again!

If you're serious about doing it then remove the cat, bung the silencer from a VW Polo in there instead to reduce the chance of scraping, and discover a new/better way of attaching it! Good luck!

Hi, I wanna change the exhaust too,
I still have the end-resonator, but I cannot find the pipes on the internet to install the complete exhaust.
Aibast where did you buy the pipe, which you can see on the left of the picture you toke
Thanx Anyway

I got it from an exhaust shop. They usualy make the exhaust systems them selves but this time they just sold me the parts

And I'm in Estonia, so giving you a name is useless, sorry. But try exhaust shops, they have usualy these premade bends. At the moment the work is on halt. Just lost my dad, so need to worry about other things. So I can't still tell you how loud it is. I also need to change the headgasget. But will let you all know how things work out and gona make a vid also then

You're right, a local shop in Estonia is useless,
I hoped it was an online shop, but unfortunately it isn't.
Whats the centerline of your exhaust pipe?
I'm looking forward to your experiences about the loudness of this exhaust.

the inside diameter of the pipes is 60 mm. The resonator and cat has the 60 mm outside diameter so perfect fit
