Bobbywhacker 0 Posted March 10, 2004 Col-in the Corrado came thru nicely about from I now need a new front n centre box..... anyone know the difference in price in getting these as opposed to grabbing a full miltek or supersprint system.. and is it really worth going the stainless route? I don't want excessive noise!!! Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
dazzyvr6 0 Posted March 11, 2004 my magnex is no louder than an oe system :) Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
dr_mat 0 Posted March 11, 2004 If your centre box is gone, you're gonna have to replace the rear box too - it's attached... either that, or chop it off.. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Bobbywhacker 0 Posted March 11, 2004 I had heard something about that..... don't have to take the axle off do I? :shock: Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
DruidicCurse 0 Posted March 11, 2004 I don't think so............i removed my center box and no axles were moved on my car. i replaced it with a bigger straight pipe and a supersprint backbox. The sound is GREAT! Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
dazzyvr6 0 Posted March 11, 2004 the oe one is as dr mat said..one piece to fit it you have to either lower the rear axle or cut and reweld it Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
dr_mat 0 Posted March 11, 2004 But removing a duff one you can just cut the old one, and there's no need to drop the axle.. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Bobbywhacker 0 Posted March 12, 2004 taken the plunge n ordered a full miltek system from Amd...... works out only a few pennies dearer then the full VAG system :D Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Sanj 0 Posted March 13, 2004 I agree with Bobbywhacker, get a sports exhausted fitted it does work out almost the same price as OE ones but, you get the added satisfaction of deeper sound and performance :D . I've got a Magnex cat back system on my 2.0l 16v and it sounds good. not too loud!! :D Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Bobbywhacker 0 Posted March 13, 2004 is there much difference between the milteks n magnex systems? Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
dr_mat 0 Posted March 13, 2004 Interestingly, I was talking to a guy recently who was looking to go back to standard VW exhaust on his 16v due to the milltek being subtlely too loud.. My personal opinion is I'd rather have the OE for less pennies than the aftermarket, given that it'll last for ten years or so and it'll be as quiet as the original. I think the performance angle is open to argument too... My 2p, anyway. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
