[damov]

Hi all

Names Damien and i made the great decision to purchase a vw only in the last 2 weeks
I reside in Qld's sunshinecoast under the dictatorship of anna bligh.(no more politics)
2008 united grey R32 (manual) 5 door and loving it:)
was looking at gti .
A mates mate took me for a drive in his so i brought it .
What a sound
Great traction
Great drive

but have question? the exhaust sounds tinny at high revs, dealer said keep an eye on it(he doesnt know) ,will look at it next service 60,000k (shit its a big one)

as i havnt been in an r32 before im looking to hear your thoughts on matter (putting a :( on purchase)
preferably hook up with fellow r32 owner to compare on road?

Thanks Boys
D:p

Welcome, plenty of R32 knowledge/owners here so I'm sure they'll be able to help.

Congrats on the purchase BTW >D

Welcome damov. The stock exhaust can sound tinny at high revs, so I dont think there is anything to be concern about.

Welcome Damien!

What a sound aye! You must be loving it! I can't seem to remember my exhaust sounding "tinny" but I'm sure it's not a problem. Best to catch up with some of the Queensland members here and compare if you are concerned. Start up a car diary when you have some time, love to see some pics :)

Welcome to the VW family Damien....nice pick up there.

Are you going to start up a photo's thread so we can see your new acquisition?

By the way it's not a Dictatorship... more a Politburo. ;)...that's it for politics for me too.

I will have pics soon, weather is crap here
Exhaust sounding tinny quote - its more like a rattle of metal to be honest.
