Can't complain at that then. Especially if you can do it all yourself.

Love RS2Ks,they sound great when they get booted

The one I went out in the other month was standard kit and it just sounded so sweet around 4-5K. Got a nice burble to a roaring sound. Plus,the induction sound was great,even on the standard airbox.
They're a very overlooked car I think.

Gary:I was in a GTI last weekend and it was redlining and they sound good at the limit as well.

RS2k's are superb

They only should have about 50bhp more

i have got 160bhp and 154lb/ft of torque and it cost me a grand total of £150 to get it there
if you want 200bhp and big torque you need to put a 2.3 galaxy bottom end in.cost about £1000
