just bought a 2001 GTI VR6, curious on some good exhaust systems, and wondering how to cut back the bumper to make it fit

Talk to bagel about exhaust, he's your man for VR6

Just picked up a garage kept 1996 Passat GLX with a 2.8 VR6 that has less than 40,000 miles! The body and interior is mint. Only had one owner who was a retired cop. The deal was a steal, and I'm super excited about the car.

I have a full cat-back Magnaflow exhaust; it doesn't sound ricy like a Honda Civic coffee can, it's real nice and deep sounding. I can't remember off hand but the HP gain is almost 13, and acceleration is totally noticeable. The kit comes with a high-flow cat, and everything you need. Borla or Greddy is good, too, I just like the Magnaflow cause not a lot of ppl have 'em, and they're great. I did the cold-air intake mod, that was posted on here using the stock airbox, and the throttle response is awesome. Any more questions just ask.
Thanx Joelzy for the referrel, I guess one good turn deserves another...HA HA HA!

you ended up doing the stock box cold air?
The difference is crazy with such a cheap and easy job
glad someone else took advantage of it.

Man I'm telling you, it's like a true ram air/cold air. I went a lil further and put a screen on the end of the pipe so no big crap gets sucked down the tube when the throttle is opened up. It's great!

I hear ya man, i love it too. i was thinkin about puting somethng on the end, but i think its ok with the stock grille back in place, though i did have to use a dremmel and open the grille up. the other side was open for the intercooler to get some air, but the driver side was closed, so i spent a few hours workin with it and it basically looks just like the other side now.
