Mk5 Golfs are more popular than ever now because not only do they offer all the practicality and German build quality you could ever ask for but, even the 2.0 GTi models, can be picked up for around the price of 20 Sovereign and a packet of King Size Rizla.

Obviously there’s a shed-load of parts available too, which makes life much easier for modding nuts, but unfortunately, as we know, VAG parts often come at a premium, especially when it comes to quality stainless steel exhausts.

That’s not the case here though. At 430-quid, this fully mirror-polished, dual twin-exit monster has to be one of the bargains of the year. And that includes delivery too!

Mandrel bent from T304 stainless steel and with titanium-style burned 3-inch tips it’ll no doubt look the absolute bollocks and should see gains of around 15bhp on the GTi.

If you’ve opted for the more economical, emissions friendly (or so they say in the VW engine mapping department) 2.0 TDi model, it’ll fit that too.

Price £430
