I'm looking for something looks good but not too aggressive, and easy to install by myself. Any suggestion?

I'd suggest going with a full cat-back system. You'll get measurable performance benefits this way(depending on if/how you are tuned 5-10hp, usually 8-10). In my opinion the Scorpion is the finest quality system, but the Remus has gotten some praise on this board too.<p><p>

<br>I am thinking of purchasing one of these systems but dont want an overly loud exhaust.The Remus was cut and weld only .they dont make a cat back yet. Scorpions are cat back. What about the HKS Klasse system?Interested in knowing if these are really worth the cost ( averg $750) and performance gain. Any other negatives to be concerned about ...as in driveability.Kevin <br>

BUT in the meantime, I used Mothers Mag Wheel Polish (Don't use it on your clearcoat rims - I had it left over from my previous car) and polished my existing exhaust tips. They Look GREAT! it took off all of the heat oxidation and made them look even better then when they were new. In fact, the shine was so bright that on a sunny day it would actually catch your eye. <p>Just a short term (and cheap) solution.

Hmmm.. I guess I didn't do my research as well as I'd thought... thought Remus had a full cat-back option. <p>If you've got the 1.8T, I gather you can air filter and exhaust the system even without chipping it and still get benefits without putting excessive strain on the engine. Me thinks the turbo has a lot to do with this. <p>It'd be nice if you could contact someone in your area who has the Scorpion so you can hear for yourself. Their system gives the car a more commanding sound, but nothing at *all* like the deafening can-jobs you can hear on many Hondas and Toyotas. <p>The Scorp sounds more like a GROWL than an 'EEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEE'.<p>
