    Magnaflow Stainless Tips Welded to stock Catback

    Guest-only advertisement. Register or Log In now!
    On my MK6 Golf R I was very happy with an aftermarket down pipe mated to the stock catback. I hated the stock tips. I had Magnaflow tips welded on that car. This S3 gives me the same impression. I drove an S3 that has a Unitronic DP mated to stock catback and it sounds delicious.
    I am also not happy with how any of the aftermarket cat backs sound, or their prices.
    I measured the stock exhaust and a few other measurements and settled on the Magnaflow 35123 tips. they are 7.5 inches long, 3.5 inch diameter dual wall stainless with a 2.25 inch inlet which is nearly perfect on the stock pipes where they are round. I ordered 4 and sanded off the laser etched Magnaflow logo and polished them up. Stock tips are 3.5 inch chrome and are oval, the outlet pipes from the muffler are round and 2.25 inch or close probably metric but are then stretched and ovaled to accept the tips. Stock tips are just pressure fit onto those pipes.
    Had my welding buddy help me this morning to chop off the stock tips and mount these. I could not be happier with the fit and look. Next up is a down pipe to get the added sound and power I want.

    Thanks! Very happy with the outcome. Glad I found a suitable tip that fits nearly perfectly too.

    Looks great man. Good job!
    We really need a slip on solution to swap out the factory tips.

    Agreed. I think if you find a slip or clamp on tip that is similar in size to these tips you could chop the ovaled portion of the stock pipe and clamp on. The pipe where it is round is very close to 2.25 inch diameter.

    That looks great, I might look into that for my car. Catless downpipe with the factory catback sounds perfect IMO.

    I can ask him. Typically does them on a Saturday, he has a shop out of his home garage.

    Those look really nice! I have been on the fence about bigger tips on these cars, but I'm a fan now!

    Thank you. I think the stocks are just okay, and these make me happy with the rear now. Looks great to me.
