VW GTI Akrapovic Exhaust

So after letting this sit in my garage for over 3 months, I finally got around to installing my exhaust. Having had their exhausts on my motorcycles and my M3, I figured the Akrapovic would be the best choice for my GTI as well. As expected, construction is top notch with unmatched fit and finish. I went for the carbon tips and also added the optional link pipe so that I wouldn't need to cut anything. The install was very simple and straight forward. But I have to say, my favorite thing about the exhaust is the sound. It's not too loud, but it really makes the car sound great. Perfect for a daily driver. I'm going to try to make a video with an external mic mounted on the back of the car when I get a chance.

Huge thank you to Nate and the guys at IND Distribution for hooking me up with this exhaust.

Here are a few pics: (Excuse the dirty car, it was raining)

From the looks I`d give two thumbs up!
But I think the R32 like double pipes would be cooler on this one!
Anyway...great job and enjoy it!

Love the car & the setup. Akrapovic makes top notch pieces.
