Neuspeed’s R32 cat-back exhaust sounds menacing! Chad wanted to liven up the sound of his 2008 R32 and this gorgeous, aerospace quality T304 stainless-steel version offered up by Neuspeed does just that.

70mm tubing opens up the exhaust and the twin, straight-cut tips look the part too! No need showing you what the rest of the car looks like – I promise you you’ll hear it coming and know this has to be the one you just read about!

This was a pre-sale deal for Campbell-Nelson; a local VW dealership. The customer wanted different wheels for his R and had Heath, his salesperson, work the new wheels into the vehicle purchase.

The customer decided on the Hartmann HS8 – 454 replica wheels in 19×8.5″ ET 45 with 235-35-19 Bridgestone RE-750 tires. Heath brought the R32 to us to have the TMPS swapped over from the original wheels to the Hartmann’s and have the Bridgestones Mounted and balanced and installed on the car.

The 19 inch S8 – 454s fill out the large fenders on the R32 a bit more than the stock 18s for a more aggressive look while still retaining the OEM style.

Dave stopped by yesterday searching for new wheels for his MkV R32, he hadn’t planned on a wheel purchase this soon but a large rock ended up helping his decision, ouch! On the plus side Dave was able to show off his manly tire changing skills to his girlfriend

Having no luck finding replacement MkV R32 wheels locally he stopped by our shop and eventually decided to go with the Hartmann B7 HRS4 – 252 wheels in 18″ as he wanted to keep his tires which were still in good condition.

In the end Dave was happy to have the new wheels on the car, the Hartmann wheels were each about half the price of an OEM replacement wheel from VW plus he saved over 11 lbs. by going with the RS4 reps!
