Default New exhaust system

Does anyone have any good links for a COMPLETE exhaust system for my 2000 beetle? I have decided to just change the whole darn thing from the head back.

I've bought two exhausts from them and I've been blown away by the quality, price and how fast the shipping is.

I love the magnaflow exhaust. I am curious if you can get one without the long piping and tips at the end.

I've seen em and I dont like the way they stick out the bottom.
I want it hidden. If they could mount it somehow, because I know it cuts off the mounting bar.

This is why I think I will have to go custom.

For me right now, my cat is starting to go bad, I can here the Platinum rattling around in there every few days, so she aint bad yet, but she's getting there.

It would be way cheaper to weld one on, can easily find one with O2 sensor spot. I like the cleanliness of the bolt on.

Im tossed...

Thanks for the link. $660 for my complete system is pretty good. Now I just need $660.

I like the sound it gives for sure. How is the cabin noise level though? I expect some, I just didn't want it to be overwhelming

i dont find the cabin noise to be to bad, it is a little more prevalent now that i have done a back seat delete, but with the back seat still in place it is still a fairly quit ride. If i find the time this weekend, i will try and take some video so you can hear what it sounds like my car while it is missing the back seat. It should give you an idea of what its like

Mine is a 2000 AEG 2.0 The best price I have found so far is a complete bolt on direct replacement Magnaflow cat and cat back system, stainless steel for $596 shipped. Thats pretty good from what I have seen, but still looking!! I will shop this for a few more days, then give in.
