Re: 1998 Jetta GT 2.0 Turbo Build
Didn't get a whole lot done today. Drained the coolent, disconnected everything from the head. Picked up the bit I need for the head bolts.
I also started taking my exhaust off, its as much fun as the exhaust manifold, but more rust...
Speaking of exhaust, I'm going to do a 3" exhaust. Should I just have it turn down before the rear beam, or have it side exit? I want to avoid having it go over the rear beam like it does stock.
All ready to come off.
Something look loose?

Some examples:
Would wrapping the exhaust pipe in that exhaust wrapping help keep things around the pipe safe from heat?Graeme

Re: 1998 Jetta GT 2.0 Turbo Build
I like the oval tip also, a little more subtle. But if I just had it turn down right after the muffler, do you think I would have to worry about heat? It would still be under the heatsheild.Graeme

Re: 1998 Jetta GT 2.0 Turbo Build
Keep in mind that a side exit will make a mess of your rims. There is also the huge down side of massive extra tire wear due to the rubber running much hotter becuase it is heated by the exhaust.Name: Brent

Re: 1998 Jetta GT 2.0 Turbo Build
Ok, I'll just do the turn down then, much more simple and subtle.Originally posted by StonewallGraeme

Re: 1998 Jetta GT 2.0 Turbo Build
side is RETARDED!! it'll eat your wheels away from the exhaust hitting them! my buddy had a side exit on his truck and it ate one of his blingy 20s up and he had to buy a new rim and redo the exhaust.. weaksauceComment
