Looks good. You can slam it, just let the exhaust drag...works for me.

Why would you go from an mk3 to a hatch?? The best part about owning a vw is that you can mod it without worrying about getting jacked.

I have a WS and I'm a good 3" lower than that. It will flatten out! The shape of the front pipe is what kills it, and obviously the fat resonator. I assume your WS2 is the same. I've always wanted to play with the hangers to tuck it up higher but never got around to it. Good luck!
