Maybe an exhaust upgrade next????
I know right…

The exhaust is partially done. I had the SharkWerks center muffler by-pass installed about 5-6 weeks ago. If I replace the main mufflers (2) I am bound to piss off all of my neighbors, probably not a bad thing given that I am “the asshole car guy with too many cars.”

Wheels are 17s, and yeah the Jetta has gotten a bit large—though the spec sheet says this one is still just under 3000 lbs.

And thanks on neighborhood!

Maybe he bought the Jetta to serve as sentinel guard for the Boxster.
