http://www.afrayspeed.co.uk/index-frames.html AF do them but the price on the website will be well out of date you'd have to give them a call.You know that the VW clubmans are very loud :freak:
I am playing all the right notes, but not necessarily in the right order.

cool - anyone know if the performance is better than a std 48mm clubman or is it just for show?

What's your engine? I was always led to believe 48mm pipes were for 225 and up. But I'll probably be corrected by one of the guru's :oops:

they do look good tho, i also found i had to re tighten all the bolts as they vibrated loose all the time, havent had a problem with my new pipe tho.

Mine isn't loud. It's never come loose either. It sounds lovely. And it's quieter than a JL4.

The loudness is more to do with the size of your exhaust port. If your barrel was tuned by a caveman with fat fingers, it's going to make a racket, whatever exhaust you've got on.
