What vehicle do you drive?

Found out they put a turbo muffler on the GTI, never heard of such a thing but luckily Forge Motorsports has a a delete kit so I've ordered that. Not looking forward to replacing it though, looks like a huge pain in the ass.

Turbo Muffler Delete Claims are Tested | My Golf Mk7 GTI

Turbo muffler delete is a common modification of the Mk7 GTI, but does a turbo muffler delete provide the performance gains claimed by vendors?

That's a new one. I thought it was some marketing bullshit and you were just talking about getting a new set of mufflers for your car; until I looked it up. Seems like an unnecessary part for a performance loadout, but I guess it's probably on all VW turbo engines or something? Who doesn't like the turbo whirl?!?

Obviously you need to turn that woo woo up to 11 and get some:


Also, here is a guy with an exhaust flow testing machine saying those delete kits don't do shit:

I just want more turbo noises, I've never had a turbo car that is this quiet. At full throttle it's damn near silent even with this massive intake.

Just don't be one of those guys who puts an obnoxious blow off valve on it.

Wrong link!

The paint on this car is incredible for being so old.

My dream is to have a 4 rotor some day, the sound makes the hairs on the back of my new stand up. So badass.

Not a lot of rotaries left anymore. 3 rotors were decently common a decade ago, but 4s? Probably only a few. You mechanically inclined to make one?

I doubt that is original paint. No way a GM factory paint job from the 80s or early 90s holds up like that for 123,800+ miles. Looks like he replaced the plastics trim, tail lights, turn signals, and at least fog lights; it was probably all done when it was repainted. He is running in KM/H and may be in Europe where a C4 would be really rare (fetch much higher prices). So it might be worth more to sink a bunch of money into it.

Unfortunately, those wheels are so fucking ugly they ruin the whole car. Stupid camber makes me irrationally mad, especially on performance cars. The C4 had shit power, but still.

The rim pattern itself is fine though, looks just like my 88 Trans Am GTA rims, but not something I would elect to put on a car, if I was starting from scratch.

P.S. C4s are stupid uncomfortable to ride in. My dad had a few of them and I disliked both ridding in and driving them.

He is running in KM/H and may be in Europe where a C4 would be really rare (fetch much higher prices). So, in terms of the total value of the car, a good quality repaint might not be such a huge loss.

The European climate is generally much better on paint. I've owned two C4s and both still had good looking original paint at 25+ years old. I've owned a few other GM cars that did get typical clear coat damage around that age but it's usually just the bumpers that need a little touchup work, unlike the 10 year old Buick I had in Florida where if you swiped your hand across the roof the entire paint coat would come off like powdered milk.

I agree on the wheels on the car in the video, even without the ricer stance they would look bad. What these tasteless people don't get is that you can't just pick a wheel off a rack and stick it on any car. A nice looking wheel and a nice looking car can look like shit together because the design language just doesn't match. They'd look much better on a Grand National or something.
