looks good!
3" may seem overkill, but I honestly didn't notice ANY difference. Sounds mean. I have no mufflers so its a bit raspy. I've been looking at either a single muffler before they split or two oval type with the tips. Not sure yet. I did the work myself all from used Yukons and the tips are from the new Vibe I want to say. All free.

Looks good for a great price!

They look pretty good, just not a fan of how low the exhaust is under the car.
awesome...!!!
My Mk4 is like a Black Hole you enter in it and who the hell knows what'll happen next???
I sure don't, do you?
looks good. I would clean up the piping a little bit though, possibly with some really high temp paint. The difference in color of the piping is throwing me off, and its really visible being that low on the car
x3, looks good, but just a little too low. Hope you have some good roads around where you live
Well, having the coilovers really makes it easier. It doesnt bounce as low as if it were soft riding. There is about 2.5" of clearance. and whats funny since you mentioned that, I did raise it because it was closer than that. But yeah I was thinking silver paint or black.

Looks nice, and I remember how it sounds from meeting in Normal last time around. Black powdercoated pipes would be tits. And you should be able to run the piping ABOVE the rear axle and then split it to the other side.
yeah actually i contemplated it when i was at that point. just at the time i was at work and i needed to drive it home. but it's been fine so far. i'll have to come across more piping so that i can do it later on. next week were moving into our first house so we will be busy. but when i get to that point i will start looking into the muffler setup so i can go through emissions.

wow that piping is low... when i had mine done, i specifically had them do the split above the rear crossmember because of how low my car is... i think i would have ripped the piping off accidentally by now if it went under the rear cross member... but i am running 2.5" from the split back so it was "easier" than trying to stuff 3" piping through that gap (mine splits ahead of the gap). i also instructed the shop to keep the piping as close as possible to the tire well so that i would not lose too much ground clearance... and the result was i didn't lose any, and may have gained some! since you are going to have to do a muffler(s) sooner or later, you should look into redoing the piping to go over the cross member, maybe splitting it after the gap if clearance is an issue. here are some pics of mine for ideas:
as you can see, my piping is actually higher than the lowest parts of the suspension. also the way i did my tips, mufflers and rear bumper, the tips and mufflers are actually higher that stock would be... no more scraping on driveways. added bonus to routing abouve the cross member is that the piping is nearly invisible (it sits higher than the body kit)... the only thing you see from behind the car (unless you get down on the ground) is the bottoms of the SS mufflers and the tips.
Sorry but your setup won't last more than 50 miles.
I like! If you do what Reelax said, then i think it will be the shit! Lets get a sound clip!
