Installed today. Sounds great in lower gears. Nice growl... no drone from 120-160kph in fifth. Anything higher isn't nice. High revs in 4th and 5th sounds... bare. Before you would hear the engine sing in harmony (eg more than one tone)... now it sounds monotone and empty wayyyyyyy up there 4500+ RPM in 4th/5th. With windows and sunroof closed, don't notice it unless in absolute idle. Even then it's a nice deep growl. Only problem now is shifts need to be absolutely clean or they are amplified, heh.

Cats are original. Overall, it's nice. Turbo project time.

EDIT: and I have to say DAMMMMMMMMMN! The original exhaust is HEEEEEEEEEEEEAVY!

I'd love to hear the sound clips too. I installed a cat-back on my buddies 12v VR6 Jetta and it is pure sex.

A Jetta that's pure sex? That's gross.

Tried to record it three times. Each time, it clipped on the lows, regardless of where I record it from. I need a better mechanism :)

I have to tell you though, when the car starts, it turns heads... that deep rumble is delicious.

Heh - this is the only thing connected to my exhaust after the turbo...
