Blitz nur spec is the ultimate to bring out that flat four rumble if you want quiter you may want to consider milltek I've got one in mine and in the process of changing for a blitz nur spec myself

okay, i have a bung but dont like the idea of causing backpressure to

i had a vortex afterburner attached to straight pipe/noresonators/nocats on my old bug and it wasn't too bad for cruising around on but a healthy note when you plant it. Not near nurspec levels but I was happy with it.

if you like the exhaust but find it a little loud why not look for a resonated centre section as that would cut the noise down a bit as well - your local exhaust shop could probably add one to your existing exhaust too.

definitely considered getting a resonated midsection, but since ive carried out a vf37 twinscroll conversion my existing midpipe has been modified to fit the shorter downpipe, would rather not buy a new pipe and get it modified again, although it may be the only way to get this car quieter lol, or a different back box
