From Sports to Stock Exhaust

[kongo127 0]

I´m on my second Corrado G60.

 

I bought it slighlty modded, but turning it completly stock.

 

I guess i´ve had a lot a fun with all the mods i tryed up to date, i know what the car can do, how fast he goes, etc...

 

Very impressive! :)

 

So i decided to go all stock and original, that´s the way i like them.

 

But yesterday i got really surprised when i fitted a complete and original exhaust system.

 

The car runs so good!

 

I even have the feeling that´s pulling much better in high revs!

 

The 2nd gear pulls very well, and a can easliy get wheel spin.

 

Is there an explanation for this?

 

Oh... I also fitted another lambda, it´s second handed, but fully working.

 

The problem is that this lambda was taken out from an 1.6 Golf MK3 Cabrio.

 

Is this OK?

OE exhausts are often under rated. Lots of noise doesn't automatically mean good flow characteristics, which after market ones tend to be - all noise and no action. It's true that big boost requires a free flowing exhaust, but anything up to a bar the VW system can cope with fine.

 

Yes the lambda from the 1.6 Golf will be fine, so long as it's the pin configuration etc as the G60 one.

Yep, I coudn't stand the noisy drainpipe which came with my car, replaced it with a 'standard' GTi VR6 one.....result, more low & mid range.....better mpg......can hear the stereo on the motorway !
