Ok. I am looking at Autech's exhaust and techtonics exhaust.
Autotech's exhaust is $219 for my car, with 14 Gauge Flash-Control Aluminized Tubing, CNC Mandrel Bends Throughout, DYNOMAX® Super Turbo® Mufflers with a Limited LIFETIME Warranty, OEM Shell Clamps, OEM Rubber Hangers and hardware, Quiet Performance, 2 Year Limited Tubing Warranty from Autotech .
The trechtonics ehxaust for my car is $195 with 2.25" ,cat back, mandrel bent tubing, '85 up Golf with 45mm cat, with Dynomax Turbo muffler. I would probably go with the Borla SS muffler for a total of $315, at Techtonics, if I buy that one.
Ok: now, which would you prefer? Or is there better exhaust systems out there I dont know about? Thanks.

Well, I forgot to mention that i am going to be equipping my car with a turbo setup, so that's pretty much the reason I was wondering about a good turbo-friendsly exhaust system. But I forgot to say that.
Anyone feel free to add more choices and mention which exhaust systems are turbo friendly anyways. Thanks!

Im thinkin 2.5 TT would be best for that. I remember one of the local parts guys talking about how turbos like the 2.5 inch...turbo is just the thing to do these days, I guess.

if you live in an area that gets snow don't bother with an aluminized system. You'll be buying a new one in 2 years

I love your name, Anyways. I think 3 inch is more ideal, but whatever. I'm not going to be running insaneboost for a while, so it wont matter.

This is my cars first and last winter with me. Now it's going ot be a 3 season ride. So, I don't have to worry about salt anymore. So that should solve that problem.
