Hi all,

Just looking at exhausts for the TFSi project car, as standard the car comes with twin exits (as far as I know), I will be swapping the exhaust out (initially a cat back) to something else to help with turbo spool etc.

I will be looking for a 3" catback system, guessing non resonated, but a single exit rather than a twin exit - this is to reduce the overall weight of the exhaust and clean up the exhaust flow.

Just wondering if there were any off the shelf cat backs out there for a single exit or if its easier to go custom - post up any photos if you do, I think the TDi powered B7s are single exit?
 
Custom is generally cheaper, easier and just as good if not better than anything off the shelf.

Plus you know it'll fit so no faffing about.

Going turbo back will be better for performance but if you don't have a friendly MOT tester just go for a straight pipe from the cat all the way back.

Probably cost around £300-£500 including labour.

It'll induce many smiles per gallon :wink:

Thanks for that, I will be getting a turbo back system at some point, the project is a big turbo build so will need a 3" V band downpipe and sports cat - plan is to sort out a cat back system now and then when I upgrade the turbo I will then need to sort the downpipe.

I guess I could use the rear valance on the TDi with the single exhaust to delete the twin exit the bumper would have as standard?

Yes that's correct mate.
