my exhaust options?
do I..
A: replace the whole system with standard and if i do how much would i be looking at? :dontknow:
or
B: go for a full ss system and manifold and if i do what are the best manifolds to go for :dontknow:
i'm not planning on doing any engine performance mods, i'm gonna run it standard.
i'm a bit stuck as what to do.. so any help appreciated. :?

Reason is stainless does not rust, but work hardens quicker and tends to crack over time, so after daily use you may find it lasts no longer but costs more.

Golf GTTDI MK5 140…..oooh quick….but not a MK1

Centre and rear sections should cost no more than about ?50 from the likes of GSF.
Don't think they do the manifold though …

what about the manifold then guys are these available new still or am I going to have to give the Crazyquiff a shout!?
although have just come across this which would solve my problem, i'd just need a downpipe, centre section and back box then..

I may be wrong, but having read up on this a while ago I seem to remember that quite a few people mentioned problems with non standard aftermarket systems due to the large amount of engine movement in the Mk1 when in use - might be wrong, but sure I read that somewhere.
The OE quality GSF systems are not pricey, and I though they even still did the downpipes too? The only other bit you might need is the manifold, but although these go rusty they seem to be tough as old boots on a standard system. I am sure you could get one from a scrapper or the likes of Rich (crazyquiff) and just clean it up.
