My mate bought it with the head away... Stripped it rebuilt head with new valves etc.. Then I bought it off him.. Exhausts not sure but quite like the standard system tbh.

didni say theres anything wrong with it

it would rev easier at high revs with s/s system as it has less baffles etc

Aye a realise that it wont be as gd as it could be but moneys past the skint point just now. lol.
Butler its hard to compare, defo quicker but revs differently an that.. More low down the revs than the rallye..

My Blue Gti was only ever running standard exhaust with de-cat and seemed to be quick and responsive enough. Also loud enough but i had stripped interior

Not true about the chip mate.. That one above is a piggy back chip but some are mounted inside original case as far as i know.
Cheers for the comments folks
