So I'm thinking of upgrading my standard exhaust i have on my 1.2 TSI.

I don't want the stupid chav boy-racer rumble thats sounds like Barry White eating wasps. I want a nice subtle rumble but sounds decent when I put my foot down.

Any advice?

I personally think the Supersprint exhaust goes well with the 3 Cylinder engine.

Hmm sounds nice! How much do they cost? Do you know?

Erm for the rear exhaust kit you're looking at £400

I've been looking at a vortex exhaust better fuel economy and performance apparently

please note, he has the 1.2tsi which is the 4cyl version... not the 3cyl 1.2 N/A...

i have the 1.2tsi and just disconnected the exhaust in the middle of the system (straight pipe after CAT up to under the front seats. so no res or muffler connected). now it sounds like a racecar and i get the DSG "fart" that turns into a nice pop when done right and a good crackle when lifting off the throttle...
held together with screw type hose clamps (Looks all standard from outside as rear section is still in place) and is un-roadworthy where i live (Australia), but i love it...

Would you be able to post a video or sound file of how this sounds? As I'm interested in doing this now!

This wouldn't pass a UK mot so makes you wonder if its worth it.

the great thing is alex, that this doesnt need anything welded or cut... just loosen and tighten some bolts and clamps and its good to go... 10-15min job. and just as easy to put back to stock as well (for those with MOT concerns, just put back to stock for a day or how ever long is needed

not the best but gives you an idea of it all... may try get better vid tomorrow..

and how its held together... been like that for quite a few months now.
(note: pipe at the top is coming from the front of the car)

I should also add this could affect the back pressure on the system and cause other issues

Plus it'll make the underside of your car all coked up in carbon deposits!

Yeah I think ill spend the extra and get a custom system made Spend that extra and I guess it's worth it
