Did you gain power as well as mpg from the
bigger exhaust?
_____
Butt Dyno sez a marginal gain, but the largest gain seems to be in
efficiency. That and a nice turbo whistle that turns the tuner kids heads,
but nothing louder in the car at all. Highly recommended to do if you ask
me. Besides, stock exhaust is what... around a grand? This cost three
hundred with the flowmaster (including the club discount).
I've been tempted to do the exhaust on the Jetta since I can't seem
to break the 39mpg barrier with it. It just irks me that several others
(MOST others it seems) do better than that with the "same" car.
____
Shoot, that old sort of worn out Jetta I sold still does almost fifty.
In town I still preffer my Rabbit but on the highway the Passat is
the winner hands down! Dad said the only other cars he's owned that
were as good or possibly a better "road car" was his 70 220D when
fairly new (but gutless) and his '60 Chevy wagon AFTER he dropped
the 300hp 327 and higher rear end in it. Not as civilized but 20mpg
driving 90mph with gobs of power.
The tdi is just as easy to work on, but
