  • Again this video was just for fun before the engine is taken out of the car for a project in the future. The car does sound pretty good though and with the right exhaust setup I think itll sound great!

    I feel like generally anything with a turbo isn't going to sound toooooo bad with a muffler delete.

    I'm using a K04-023 on mine, but I have a full 3" turboback with HF cat and Magnaflow 3" single in/out. Flows beautifully and sounds fantastic.

    When you get ur exhaust for the 1.8t just put the downpipe on with one o2 and you’ll get all the sounds and pops you want

    I'm running a 2.5 in. Stainless steel exhaust from Techtonics Tuning, from the turbo back. High flow cat, euro mid muffler and Borla stainless steel muffler on my AWP 1.8t Jetta wagon. I have had this exhaust system on this car since March 2017, was around 170,000 miles when installed and currently at 237,000 miles no problems. This exhaust system is quiet, need this for a daily driver in a nice Florida neighborhood.

      @@Mk3Smith hahaha Love it. I know it's absolute blasphemy, but I much prefer the 1.8T, especially in a Mk3 chassis... similar stock power, simple flash tunes and upgrades plus 80ish lbs lighter over the front wheels means a much more balanced driving experience. I just finished my 3.5 Cabrio 1.8T / 02J swap so am super pumped to see how you approach this project.

    @joekizonu9503 3 года назад

    Sounds ok, I kinda like the quiet killer of a high flow setup (cat rez muffler) I had a 1.8t setup with the bfi kit. But I sold it when I saw how perfect the vr5 looked in the Savoy, it just looks better. Fits better, and sounds best. But the tuning for the 1.8t will always win for easy power. If it was me I would drop it in the gti and a quiet exhaust. Make a good sleeper. But it's not me, and I'll watch no matter how it plays out. As always keep up the good work Christian, amazing content.

    I drove my old mk3 golf like that for years just bolt everything back together, get it smogged, then unbolt it. Just put a heat shield over any wiring or break lines that might be close to the exhaust now.

    Mine had a Magnaflow cat back when I bought it, but since then I got a 3inch catless downpipe and deleted the resonator. It sounds perfect like that not to loud with nice light crackles, sometimes I take the muffler off tho and enjoy the full straight pipe tractor status 😂
