hey bro, i´m from mexico. I really like your jetta, congratulations! great sound. could you tell me what you have in that exhaust system? i want something like this!!!
man I'll be honest this was 8 years ago and I don't really remember what I paid for it, Techtonics probably still makes the exhausts but no clue what the price would be nowadays
kbery Sounds like a plan! Just don't make the mistake I did and think the 8v can make a lot of power N/A (I started out with a built head and 272*). It's a totally different engine boosted. Even on .5 bar boost (about 7psi) I made 175whp with a 02A transmission! Very stout engine for sure. Loving it.
do you have a stock exhaust manifold? I'm getting the same exhaust system from TT and am thinking of getting a 4-1 header but am confused as to if it will fit a stock 2.0 setup
no, as listed I run a 4-1 header, if you're building a driver the raceland 4-2-1 is a nice option, the TT 4-1 doesnt have a flex joint and is for full race builds.
kbery oh okay. i'm doing an aba swap to my mk2 jetta and taking the engine out of a 1997 cabrio. i want to go with TT race headers and TT 2.5" exhaust system and i know they come with 2 resonators instead of one small one. i want a loud exhaust system but not sure what to do.. i was thinking the 2.5" and leave both resonators and delete the muffler with straight pipe and either a high flow cat or no cat at all but i'm scared i would lose power with the straight pipe.
The 2.5" system is pretty loud as it is. You'd definitely hear the car coming from a few streets away with a 2.5" system even with 2 resonators and a muffler. TT tuning does a ton of custom work. If you ask them, they'll make you a 2.5" system with only 1 resonator. Give them a call, they're super cool guys. Ask for Collin. I've got a MK2 GTI with a ABA turbo swap. Bought quite a bit from TT, haha
The race header isn't a great choice for a street car unless you're planning on cutting and adding a flex joint, adn the 4-1 long tube is really set up for high rpms. Look into a raceland 4-2-1 header, despite the brand they're a nice piece and work well on street cars. Going 2.5" you aren't really losing anything vs straight pipe except making it obnoxious, my cars loud as all hell with both resonators and a muffler.
Sounds really cool, i think this is the first 2.0 Jetta that i like how does it sound.
Any engine mods??
Nothing major yet, have a built one sitting on a stand but haven't had time to change them out

edu mk3 lo consigues en TT techtonictuning.com fabricado por ellos + un muffler BORLA. Saludos de Panama.
If you don’t mind me asking how much was this system I’m looking for a catback right now for my 2.0

*_Cool!_*
Sounds good man. Any plans for more performance mods like boost? I've got a MK2 with a ABA(turbo) swap and I love it.
No boost, have a spare aba with a pretty wildly built head and cam sitting on a stand for it, it'll make it in eventually

I've been an 8v guy for a long time lol, trust me I know a good bit about them

how many resonators are on the exhaust?
two.
Where can I find this system
is this with or without a catalytic converter?
Without, Thats what the test pipe replaces

JobeMinacum sweet, i didn't know that. i will do that for sure! i'll probably ask them to remove the big and small one and just have the muffler. haha
