        Adding another magnaflow muffler might be your best option, you would lower the loudness at low revs, but it will come back at higher revs, increase the flow and keep the sound similar to current.

          Yup, Chris/Adam ran one in the MK2, it made a huge difference in how loud it was.

            If I have to I'll add a muffler, but space is an issue, also weight too. If i'll be adding a muffler I might just get something like a varex muffler.

            Sweet, I'll try them out, do you know which one they have? I'm looking at a skunk2 one with a perforated tube for like 100$ and there are also normal ones for $30. Do you know if Adam's Mk2 is louder than mine without it?

              Adams car is WAY louder than yours. I believe they made it.

                It's been a long wait for the lights to arrive, but it exceeded my expectations, can't wait to install them!

                  Shouldn't you have gotten the words printed backwards on the lense? So that when the lights are on the words are legible?

                  Cool nonetheless, keep it up.

                      The projected light on the road shouldn't be affected by the etching, the etch design is not supposed to be projected or anything, just for cosmetics. I think you'll be able to see it on the projector lens though when the lights are on, and they'll be very easy to spot with the right demon eye setup, and in daytime when all the lights are off.

                      Example of them installed:

                        That's pretty cool Jerry! Pictures once you've gotten them installed, where did you send the projectors to get etched?

                            Those look great!

                            Would you mind measuring those? They look like they may be a viable alternative to the $$$ B5 RS4 fog lights that I'm in need of.
                            Diameter of the edge of the lens would be good, if you can get it.

                              Sweet, this is like the magic touch.....

                              Looks like you'll be ahead of me on this as I am still finishing the insulation of the garage and even didn't start on the little rust issue.
                              After that driver front outer CV boot and light will be next.

                                I think he got the H1 model here:

                                Hopefully this is the right one, all measurement are at the bottom.
