AUDIophile! Stereo Options?

[Eric Sanborn]

Ben on the head unit front I went to the modern end of the spectrum with my
wife's '03 GTI in August.  I got a Dual head unit that has Bluetooth
streaming and HD radio.  It also comes with an IPod cable which we have not
tried yet and the ability to play straight from a memory stick.  The quality
off the memory stick seems not as good so maybe its internal player isn't as
good.

The Bluetooth however is awesome.  My wife and I both have Moto Droid
phones.  She has an app (Tasker) that automatically launches and starts
playing Slacker Radio when her phone detects and connects to the head unit.
 You set up the Slacker stations (like Pandora) using your PC on the web
site, then you can configure your phone to automatically start on the last
played station.  It is nice if you have little ones it even has a check box
for keeping out explicit stuff, even though it doesn't always work so you
have to stay on your toes.

The head unit as only $179 at Crutchfield, but I am sure you can find it for
less elsewhere if you don't need all the special harnesses and install kit.

Ben on the muffler front I used 3" from the turbo back.  I have details on
my web site (link below).  it was very deep, but a reasonable volume.
There is a link to a short video at the end of the page.  The prices are
from 2003 so YMMV.
