Hi i am thinking of buying a genuine r32 exhaust for my 1.8t. Can it be fitted, has anyone done this?

I know somebody who can sell you the badges too.

Still won't sound like an R32 though.

No it won't fit. For a start it'll have two branches for either side of the V6 engine, so it won't fit onto your turbo. Second it's built around the 4WD system so the back box wants to go where other stuff is.

You can however have another tail pipe branched of a SS back box, but it'll look naff as there are no holes in the valance for exhausts, which means you'll have to bodge it.

So, in a word, no. biggrin

It has been done, but with some heavy modifications. Ask around on the forums here

I'm fairly certain the 2 banks form the V6 go into one before the centre/rear section of the exhaust. And i may have the standard twin outlet pipe from a 2007 3.2TT, same as R32 I beleive. With only 500 miles on it, about half the cost of a new one.

Have to be sure the customer doesnt want it first, but he had it change for performance system.

If you think you can make it fit let me know, I see what I can do.
