For my 2002 gti 1.8L 4 cyl My buddy says to find a full exhaust system for around $500/600 bucks, because they will give better performance or something like that. I found one on amazon for $150 then one on O‘riely that‘s like $490, they both kinda look the same but I want good quality, i also found some for like $999, and I can‘t spend over $500 on one. Some one tell me what‘s the difference and what should I go with? Thanks

I tend to go with FACTORY(as they bolt on and the holes match the studs VW Research Development Department tends to have more money to do best exhaust configuration Research than any custom exhaust garage. VW is no different than Chev or Ford (those are the companies with the money) so they do the research on every motor style. Then they choose the best one for that engine. Which would make sense; right? Otherwise they guess with every vehiclewhich is ludicrous. Sure, some clown with a pipe bender can make you an exhaust manifold and weld it up and spray paint it white or black or chrome But, they do not say invest $12,000 or more in designing it. They do not have the money nor the test faucilities to do that. They just bend pipe and weld it.and paint it. Theirs just makes more noise. Difference? Price. and advertising But they do not have the proof to back up their claims.
