I have this fitted to my 2007 Mk3 It is not cheap but has a very nice sound and seems to improve the performance slightly !

I've got the Racing Beat cat back setup. It gives a nice deeper tone without being too loud. They do a racing connecting pipe without the silencer if you want loud. It's nice without being too in your face. However, it's not the cheapest available, but is good quality with a nice tone.

Depends how far you intended to go really, RB is not bad the other cough, cough.

What sounds nice as a back box now will get on your nerves as you progress to the next levels.

Been there done that.

To be fair, trying to make a 2.0 litre 4 cylinder car sound decent is always going to be a case of trying to polish a turd.
Unless it's a Vtec

The standard car sounded crap in comparison to my V8, so anything was an improvement to be honest.

Easy. Simply drill a hole in the back box. Add more holes for more noise.
