Competition top mounts? which competition exhaust? ?
Hi guys,
I need some of your expert advice please
I need some competition front top mounts (MK1 golf GTI). Anyone know anywhere that makes them? or have any for sale?
Im also after a full competition exhaust system. Could anyone recommend a good one?
Ive seen the stainless ones on ebay (OMP) for ?180. they boast that they are lightweight 1.5mm thick. They sound a bit poor, anybody used one?
I want a nice sound (of course) but want a relatively standard looking tailpipe.
Oh, and im on a bit of a budget
Loads of thanks
Sam

Sam,
I know Bonrath sell competition top mounts http://www.bonrath.com/d/dgo.htm I think they are called domlager in German. I think Collo has ordered a set, so maybe he's worth a pm.
Also I found these guys on google http://www.motorsporte…0alloy%20top%20mounts.htm
I remember someone selling a set on E38 ages ago but I've no idea if they are any good. I like the idea of eccentric top mounts though.
As for exhausts it will prob bring up loads of replies of people who swear by different brands.

Also try this mob for top mounts:

I've got a s/steel powerflow exhaust, probably not the lightest but well fitted, not noisy and finished with a std look tailpipe. ?300 but with a lifetime guarentee whilst I own the car!!

If you can come by one, Supersprint used to make an 'R-Series' exhaust system that's 2.25" diameter all the way through, is made of mild steel (except the tailpipe) and only has a single large rear can so is very, very light. It looks and sounds kewl too!
Unfortunately they don't seem to make them any more though. I was fortunate enough to come by a brand new one locally… Maybe worth a look around? Maybe Ashely do something simelar to go with the 16v manifold?

Actually I lie! According to their website they're still available and in several guises. Go to the 'racing systems' section on here:

Have a look on www.rallydesign.co.uk for MK1 race bits and ask for advice on Club GTI as its more of a motorsport forum.
