For me personally, I would say so.
It's stainless steel so won't rot out on my like the standard one. Its provides minimal and I mean minimal performance improvements but coupled with future plans its perfect for the job. Sounds amazing and pops and bangs with the tap of the throttle on the come down. Looks great and fills the exhaust arch nicely.
Ticks all the boxes for me!

Thank you for that.
#19: Re: Vexs's GTI 180 Author: Vexs, Location: LondonPosted: Sun May 10, 2015 8:58 am ---- Been a while now since I updated and managed to get a fair bit done in the process. Did plan to update after FCS but figured I'd get it over with now.
Firstly I managed to pick up a carbon fibre bonnet, a little unsure if I still want to keep it, although it's serving fine as a replacement until I get my original re-sprayed I guess.
I also went and bought a brand new black Zunsport kit along with the upper mesh grilles for either side of the badge which I sprayed black to match, including the screw heads.
I also DIY tinted the fogs yellow just to change things up a little.
I picked up a set of cheap rear discs to tick me over when I got the car originally as I planned to upgrade them all round anyways which is exactly what I did.. I bought some Mtec drilled and grooved discs which came with Mintex pads. The discs are fantastic but the pads about as good as the standard ones really which is fine for now but I will eventually get a set of EBC green stuff or Ferodo pads.
I managed to obtain a set of masked crystals, Junyan crystal rear lights and the JBL audio system, all of which is becoming a little sort after. I won't name the member who sold them to me with fear of him being lynched he knows I appreciate him offering them up to me first
Of course the masked crystals are on but I'm still undecided what rear lights I prefer and may just alternate as and when I feel like it, no real big issue changing them as you all know anyway.
The JBL audio system though needs a whole new harness making up as the genuine harness itself is rarer than unicorn s**te... good news is I've found a diagram for it and in the process of finding a company to make it up and get it all working.
I also installed a Connects 2 Aux cable which means the multi disc changer from the glove box is gone, not that the bloody thing ever worked anyway and located it coming through the tab near the ashtray.
FCS15 up next which I'm looking forward to and can't come around soon enough. Here are a few pictures of how she is at the moment and will be for the show.

Vigorous cleaning routine, and as sad as it is.. I enjoy detailing topped with a mild case of OCD that and I spent maybe 6-9 hours paint correcting on Saturday using a machine polisher.
