Paul's Custom Exhaust does my car!!!

[rollininstyle2004]

So I went up with Tony (CarbonGS) yesterday to Paul's Custom Exhaust in Snellville, GA to get a custom "dual" exhaust done on my 1.8T. It ended up taking longer then I originally thought so the car stayed there overnight. Here are a few pictures of what went down

This is what my exhaust consists of now:

- Evolution Racewerks Test Pipe
- Techtonics Tuning 2.5'' Downpipe
- Paul's Custom 2.5'' Exhaust
- Magnaflow XL Turbo Series Muffler
- Dual Magnaflow Oval Resonated Tips

The day started out well...for the first 2 minutes.

As soon as Tony and I left to get some grub we got a phone call from Paul saying that he had a coolant leak. We drive back fast and helped Paul take off the lower pan cover. This is what we saw when it came off:

The culprit of a smell that I have not been able to find for MONTHS

This is what we saw after we lowered the car back to ground level. The culprit of the leak was a coolant overflow tank line that was "not reconnected" after a recent paint job was done under the hood.

Paul got started on the piping by taking off all the old stuff.

Here are some shots of the old pipes

Me and the muffler man

Went back inside and Paul had installed the new muffler

Here's what one of the new tips looks like.

Now for Today:

Tony has a few more pictures that I will get from him later (including the finished under body shots), but I snapped a few. Please excuse the terribly filty car. It will be detailed within the next few days for the show on Saturday.

Here's the muffler and the driver's side tip and the path for the passenger side:

Follow the pipes for the passenger side:

...and now the FINAL PRODUCT:

Now before anyone says anything. I KNOW it is a fake dual exhaust, I wanted it for looks. If I ever go BT ill do a QTP Cutout in the DP for minimal back pressure ;) I cant imagine less back pressure though, its already LOUD.

For those who dont know me, a quick shot of the dirty (literally) dub :P

[osnap]

WTF? A RAT?! haha how the hell...

anyways, given the contours of your bumper, i cant really blame ya... as long as you get real dual exhaust eventually ;) haha anyways i dont think ive ever told ya this, but i love the dub, man.

[osnap]

btw they have a similar "muffler man" at G&S in Kennesaw... guess thats a common thing *shrugs*

[GGPIS3]

damn that sucks about the coolant line... did it stain everything or did everything wipe off clean?

[_Christian_]

The duals look great, no need to justify. Sexiest passat I have ever seen:goodjob:

[gtikid]

Recent paint job under the hood? :thinking:

[j0nbunklah0m]

car looks real good +1

[Chuckster]

Magnaflow XL Turbo Series Muffler

Awsome, I have the same muff. Im curious, how much did yours cost? Over $350?

[Repost Squintz]

that looks hella good.

[mushroom_toy]

I love your car and esp. those wheels.

[HatchHero]

[Nittanys1]

Damn looking nice!!!

How much did the muffler cost? Or the whole exhaust?

[rollininstyle2004]

Recent paint job under the hood? :thinking:

Bucky at SuperStar Customs airbrushed, painted, and polished a bunch of stuff. He just forgot to re-clamp the coolant line so it blew off...no worries though everything wiped right off.

[rollininstyle2004]

damn that sucks about the coolant line... did it stain everything or did everything wipe off clean?

It all wiped off clean...a simple wipe with some Show Car Mist and it was looking good as new again :goodjob:

[Nitro]

nice Jordan :goodjob:

[rollininstyle2004]

Thanks Nite!

[koukis14]

Car looks good. Who ever the jerk was that took your picture should have told you your hat was crooked. That is just mean not telling someone there is something wrong with their appearence before taking a picture. Really though your car looks badass.

[changaroo]

lookin guude!

[GirlieZ]

looks good but i never understood duals on a 4 cylinder :thinking: correct me if i am wrong....

[Chuckster]

I was wondering just the muffler itself. Or did you buy the whole exhaust system? B/c I got mine seprate with a custom setup.

[Nittanys1]

SHUT IT JUSTINE :D

[rollininstyle2004]

No I bought the muffler, test pipe, and downpipe then had Paul do the rest. The muffler I got BNIB off a guy on Audizine for $50 shipped. Too good of a deal to pass up. Retail is like $100, you can get them from Summit for around $60 + shipping and such: http://store.summitracing.com/partdetail.asp?part=mpe-13288

Which is why I said in the original post:

Honestly...it cost me the same as a single setup would and I like symmetry. It looks cleaner like this and the added backpressure from the strange passenger side piping probably isnt much anyway since there is really minimal restriction in the rest of the setup.

[GirlieZ]

this is true, i figured you did it for cosmetics.

i like spending monies on things you cant see but only hear at 5k plus rpms :ninja:

[HachiDori]

That's hella clean! I love your car!

wow, yea I was ripped off.

[Kyle]

Why did you snake the exhaust like that? If it's not going to function well why didnt you just weld up a dummy tip or something. Not a huge fan of it.

hahahahhaha.

Welding a dummy tip would have been uber ricer...at least something comes out of this one. Like I said, I did it for looks. I know it increases backpressure, I know its not the OPTIMAL exhaust setup from a performance basis. I drive a 3500lb FWD Automatic car with a turbo the size of my fist...id rather have this exhaust looking good, then a single exhaust that would have netted maybe a couple extra ponies at the top of the rev range MAX. Like I said, if I ever got BT and build the tranny there will be a cutout on the DP and you wont have to worry about anything behind that.

It's pretty much the same to me. I can sympathize with driving an overweight fwd automatic though, I dont plan on going fast. I looked into cutouts I wish it changed the exhausts path and wasnt essentially just a hole on a switch.

[Da_unknown]

that car is sexy..:goodjob:

I mean it is does change the exhaust path. The new path just doesnt have anything on it. I guess technically you COULD make a new path if you wanted to...not sure where it would go or where you could fit it though.

your car is the reason i will one day own a nice german sedan thats not all about speed

I was wondering how you routed it when I saw the thread title. Love the car man, cleanest around. I would have been pretty pissed about the coolant line but glad it was no big deal.

You have to understand it's a vw. It's too high if the fenders and tires aren't touching.

[d_day87]

exhaust and car looks awesome, any sound clips of how the exhaust sounds? i'm trying to find the best muffler for my GTI with minimal restriction and not ridiculously loud

[Kyle]

Oh, lol. Yeah I see what you are saying. Good point.

[OUTLAW]

[rollininstyle2004]

Thanks guys. Here is a sound clip: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=22rLN6BWG68

[d_day87]

that sounds awesome, i think you just made my day. by the way how much was it for all the piping to be run?

[OUTLAW]

that sounds awsome by the way how much was the whole thing and whats the number to this shop

[rollininstyle2004]

He sponsored my car, so I got a different rate then normal. Give him a call though, he does amazing work and his prices are reasonable: 770-972-9904

Tell him you found out about him from Jordan with the Black VW Passat. :goodjob:

[AnthonyF]

Thanks Tony, where are the pics from Ruby Tuesdays?

[GGPIS3]

gotta get the tags cleared out, no time

[THATdude]

The culprit of the leak was a coolant overflow tank line that was "not reconnected" after a recent paint job was done under the hood. <--------- this is unnecessary. really should be handled in pm's jordan.

Who are you?

I did not mean to bad mouth anyone, nor am I going to get into it right now.

[Tuner_13BFC]

nice setup dont see to many duals on those:goodjob: . an paul does great work he has done two for my FC

[SixSquared]

looks hot! Keep the dead animals out and you should be ok from here on out... :P

Does Pauls do headers, too, or just exhausts? I've heard TONS of good stuff about them, and if they do headers I'm gonna bring the nissan over once the swap is bolted in and let them do everything from the block back...

[Ronsam2006]

Awesome looking exhaust. It looks really nice and stock.

[AV8ter]

Seen you around Alpharetta a lot this week....


Car in pristine.

[ARFNSX]

Excellent Yob!

I was looking for someone to do that to my Brabus Mercedes before I could find the true Brabus Exhaust but Grand Muffler in Marietta though I was nuts.

Regardless it looks great!

[rollininstyle2004]

Yea, I was home on Spring Break...so I have been out an about a lot. Heading back to Michigan in a couple hours though so the car will be back in hibernation :ninja:

Not sure...give him a call and ask. If he cant do the headers, he could probably do everything after that :goodjob:
