Default Cat Back for 1998 1.8T Q Manual

Hi All-

I have been forced (sooner that I was prepared) to mod my exhaust. The bellows on my downpipe crapped out on me, and I'm stuck scrambling on what cat-back to pick. I haven't had time to do my homework, so am hoping I can tap into your knowledge.

I know the major players (Borla, Neuspeed, APR, Greddy, Milltek), and I need some advise / pros / cons for each.

Sound is important to me. That is - not a lot of sound. A deep rumbling is good. A whiney, reverberating sound not good. Unfortunatley I don't have time to sound test each, so your feedback is welcome.

My current set-up is stock + Forge BP Valve. I plan on chipping, but no major mods (i.e. no KO4 / FMIC, etc), so I don't if a 70mm / 2-3/4" is really necessary.

Thanks.

Default Quieter ones are APR and Milltek. If you're sticking with your K03...

I'd go with the APR exhaust + chip. APR is 2.5"

A bit cheaper than Milltek too
