Almost all exhaust suggestions are super loud. Borla Pro-XS middle muffler + vibrant rear muffler is a good/classic combo.

Borla SSteel. Last muffler, header you will buy. Had mine on two cherokees so far in the last 25 years! Even clamps are stainless!
Not a fast car but you can make it souind decent with much much less than 800 USD. Borla Proxs 40364 model around $110 Custom 2.5" catback piping at alocal muffler prices was like 100-120 usd on my city, aluiminized piping.
Borla muffler (No drone. Very nice rumble). The damn thing drives smooth and there is not a rattle or shake to be found.
The borla muffler, pipes resonator magnaflow cat are mocked up: The Swoops intake arrived this week and I installed some coolant hoses:
The exhaust note is intoxicating and I'd love to swap the mufflers with a couple of Borlas
Engine Cat back exhaust with borla muffler
I have a header, no cat, full 3in, a 16in glasspack, and a 16in borla xr-1. As you can see from this video, its still loud.

Okay so the proof is in the numbers. Video's and Pics Provided... 2004 New Beetle Convertible 1.8T 6 Speed Manual Transmission Swap (Trans is from a 2004 GLI) (stock 02m clutch) ATP Hi- Flow Exhaust Mani ATP Eliminator 2 Kit w GT3071-WG ATP 3 Inch Inlet for Eliminator Kit HKS Manual Boost Controller TurboXS Blow Off / Diverter Valve ABD Front Mounted Intercooler ABD Intake Manifold Eurodyne 630cc Mafless/Emissions Delete/Cat Delete Tune Seimens 630 CC Injectors 2.5" Techtonics Tuning Turboback w/Hi-Flow Cat & Borla Muffler Dynos without Water And Meth: First Pull yeilded 310WHP See here: Video Here: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=sMYhB3jWiVw 2 Pulls later heat soaked the Eliminator kit did 294 WHP. EVERYTHING BELOW IS USING WATER & METH So we had run the car 4 times it was time to just add water and methonal to the mix to see what would happen! This brought us up to 313WHP just after the car was at 294 without adding water and meth.. See the video here: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=aBOClLqmPPM Okay now lets bump this mutha's timing up and see where it gets us... 345 WHP! YEP.. 345WHP http://****************.com/smile/emthup.gif http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=_9OUlRkaI6Q So there ya have it!!!! I did say that this car was around 340-350 and I was correct! The Water and Meth allowed us to really push this thing and we gained some serious HP on this kit from the heat soaked run of 294WHP to 345 WHP!!! THATS 51 WHP AS A RESULT OF THE WAI!!!!!!!
