Help with exhaust

[djwhiplash2001]

Not at all, and the catback section will need to be shortened to fit. 3" is too big for the Rabbit as well, it'll do nothing but lose power.

i would stay 2 1/4 to keep your torque. The main killer is that rear pancake muffler. I posted something on another exhaust thread here with what I did. I got a magnaflow muffler (70$ and the same one from the magnaflow kit), put in a new aftermarket resonator, and took the rear pancake muffler out. TBH it sounds AMAZING...the whole kit and kaboodle cost me like 130$ (65$ for a shop to make a foot long piece of bent pipe.) All i need now is a set of tips and ill be set. Power wise, I lost maybe 3-4 hp down low, but up high it gained atleast 5-8hp. It helped it A LOT.

This is a great idea, and one that I will make use of. do you get any burbling with that setup, Greek?

I had the suitcase muffler cut out of my exhaust and I haven't regretted it a bit. Cold startups are a bit raspy, but it quickly mellows and there is only a very faint drone when on the free way with the back seats down, otherwise there's none at all.

The open exhaust type sound you get when letting the engine wind down from say 3k.
