Re: [VW-A3-2L] Time For New Exhaust

["Naresh H. Singh" <nhs1681@is4.nyu.edu>]

I have the ND Stainless System with the Borla muffler on my Jetta, It has
a nice little rumble at idle and really screams during wide open throttle. 
(no second resonator) A bit loud but not obnoxious. Only thing I'm not too
crazy about is the tip. Its an intercooled type, welded on, but it extends
past the bumper more than I like. Other than that its a nice system. Cost
about $380 from New Dimension if I remember correctly. 

Cheaper system I considered was a Eurosport Aluminized. But you can't
really go wrong with any of them, TT, Brospeed, are all well recommended.

Hope this helped,
