... if your going for you own preffered sound than i suggest trying youtube.com and type in 1.8t exhaust or somthin like that and listen for what your lookin for, thats what i did and i like the remus i think, only found it on 1 3.0 and it was an automatic so[:@]

 

I love my Borla Exhaust setup.. I have Borla full cat-back exhaust with one resonator removed...

Sounds amazing. I need to get some videos up.

Also has good gains and supports a chip very nicely.

 

do you have a test pipe as well?

 

Check out awe. its full stainless..easy to install.
its a little more tame than some of the exhaust you hear on the 1.8 golfs but its a nice throaty sound. I really like it. No drone on the highway at all.

 

Second on the Neuspeed. Had heard everything from thermal Race to AWE to APR and Milltek. I like the APR sound. Milltek is too quiet for my tastes. I got Neuspeed off of group buy and couldn't be happier.
Here is video. I'm running larger turbo and test pipe, so keep that in mind. If you don't have subwoofers on your computer, don't bother. You won't get the right sound without them for any exhaust video.
