So a side exit would be more powerful. It is quite simple, less bends and less changes in direction means more power.
no offense to you other guys, but i probably hold his opinion above alot of the resposes, though they were good and informative, reason is cause his exhaust system for the baron was just as restrictive as the jetta is and im sure he got alot of power off of it when he upgraded. so thanks and please keep the info coming.
