    Hi so I’m new to this site and had a question about modifications to the exhaust. My boyfriend is trying to install a Cherry bomb pipe to our 2022 Passat SE and we are not sure if it’s worth it, or overall doable, anyone have any suggestions??

    Hello everyone, I’m working on my 2002 Passat GLS 2.8L, hoping to replace the passenger side exhaust pipe that goes from the downpipe to the muffler to fix a bad exhaust leak I’ve let go for too long. I’ve gotten as far as to remove the downstream O2 sensor underneath the car with a degree of...

    I just bought an 07 passat wagon with the v6 3.6L and 4motion. I was wondering if anybody knew of an exhaust system that would give it a little bit better sounding exhaust note, or any mods that would do the same

    Hey, again. 2003, 1.8T. Wondering if anyone happens to know roughly the temp at the flex section of the exhaust? Does it stay consistent over, say, an hour’s drive, or continue to climb? Mostly wondering if it would be safe to use an 850F wrap temporarily until I can get that whole section...

    I have a 2003 Passat Wagon 1.8T and the exhaust connection has rusted away near the flex pipe. The flex pipe itself does not appear to be broken but it's hard to tell because of the braiding. The downpipe (which the flexpipe is part of) was cut after the mount point and every few years meineke...

    Trying to lift a B5 4-Motion wagon as seen here. The exhaust basically dropped in the middle and scraped on the road for a while until I removed the rear section. I now have it look like in the attached picture, and was wondering how to temporarily lift the remaining exhaust section so I can...

    I just replaced the passengers head, runs great. I know I torqued the manifold bolts, it was in my lap when I did it, I just popped off the heat shield and still feel no air from the manifold. Is there something disconnected buy the pump I hear when I start the car? Or vacuum line nit closing a...

    Hey guys, I'm replacing the whole exhaust and now roadblocked by the skinny passage as the pipe heads up to the manifold. There is no way that pre-cat and flange will make it down. Am I to lower the subframe, supporting the motor? I tried to find help in multiple searches but only found a...
