Howsit guys
I've bought a used 2012 polo 1.6 comfortline and plan on being being a (somewhat) Durban Charo about it.
It's got the 17" R mags and leather and I hope to add a decent branch+exhaust system to both deal with an exhaust manifold leak and hopefully get an extra kilowatt or two out of it. Hoping for some advice regarding this. I've heard that exhaust manifold leaks are common on these as they come with a 0.9mm thickness from the factory. Powerflow has quoted 3k to do branches and an exhaust system which is apparently of a 2mil thickness. I don't at all want it to be loud/noisy and they have assured me that it can be toned down drastically. Is this a good idea????
In terms of the audio I've already purchased a Vibe Audio (the british one) 5 channel amp and Pioneer speakers (4x 4way 60watt rms 6" + 12" DVC pioneer 300watt RMS sub)
What's essentially left is a head unit and I was hoping for some advice on this. I've seen the units that can display information from the car such as RPM, open doors, fuel level etc and I quite like this. Can anyone refer me to a unit that does those things and also provides navigation at a reasonable price? It's looking like 4-5k from what I can tell but obviously would like to spend as little as possible as I'm on a tight budget. Any ideas???
