Loud Car back boxes
 
I'm not a car d**k but I quite like the grumble of loud cans :p
So I'm thinking of getting one of these for my golf

It looks easy to bolt on and doesn't seem that expensive. But does anyone know if it will make the car fail the emissions test?

I doubt it.

My Nova had an aftermarket exhaust on it, It went through many MOT's with it fitted.

My Golf had a cat back 2" stainless system on it with a pipercross filter on it and that went through many MOT's without failing the emissions test.

Based on my experience you'll be fine.

Is this not a 1.4 golf? Just worth bearing in mind everyone will either laugh or mutter as you go past, all will think you're a **** though.

That's expensive too, the baffles have fallen apart in my back box so I'm getting a new one fitted next week. £40 (inc fitting).

Yeh it's a 1.4 but shhhhh :-$ They don't have the engine size on the back so I can trick people in to thinking it's a 2.0L lol :smt081

Na I don't really care what they think to be honest, as you can see by my sv :p

Where do you get them for £40?
