small update
a while back i fitted a standard gti exhaust system. it was nearly new,had the right tail pipe on to exit in the bumper cutout, and was a slight upgrade due to bigger pipeing than my 1.4 system
but the tail pipe was never big enough so the other day i bought and welded on a nice big 4 inch tail pipe
