    Hi VWH,

    I'm looking at getting the above for my 89 8v (your part 191-253-091/C) - can you tell me what the quality is like?

    I find it really hard to find a decent exhaust which is quiet and am gutted that the current OEM one is rotting away and getting louder.

    If anyone can confirm whether I can expect OEM like sound levels / performance from this (and other listed silencer boxes for 89 8v) then that would be great! Website doesn't have a little box underneath picture to say whether quality is Repro/OEM so any help much appreciated. I'm hoping at ~155 that it is OEM like!

    I find it hard to choose between a new OEM downpipe or an aftermarket 4-branch which will remove the OEM manifold too.

    Cheers,

    Jon.

    Thanks, but I've been burnt (not literally!) by 2nd hand exhaust parts in the past.
