Bastuck impressions

dcgolfdr · 11-09-2009, 02:04 PM

Installed the Bastuck this past weekend. I wanted to replace the OEM system because the rear of the car IMO was horrible because of the muffler sticking out below the bumper. The Bastuck looks 100 times better and was pretty easy to install. Myself and a friend installed the system in about an hour and a half and all we had were ramps and jackstands. The were zero issues with fit, everything fit perfectly. We followed the writeupin the DIY section. As far as sound the volume is similar to stock but the tone is much deeper than stock, especially in the lower RPM. As the RPMs increase to me it is hard to hear a difference but definately a difference down low. I want to eventually get an X pipe so I opted for a quiet exhaust now and add some volume later. So far very happy with the system, looks and sounds much better than OEM.
Julius at WheelSTO was very helpful in keeping me up to date with the progress of the exhaust since it did take a little longer than expected for the exhaust. Something about the Germans taking a month off from work, whether thats true or not oh well.
