I looked at making something similar to CB's tail pipe, but don't have much room in my left hand fender well as that is where my oil filter, oil thermostat, and all my plumbing for the external system runs through. The larger turbo muffler was the best choice for noise suppression, so I decided to hang it like a phatboy type NA system and it blends in nicely.
No I didn't notice any power loss. The muffler is 2.5" all the way through the body, so its should have minimal flow restriction. Its VERY quiet.. I don't have a DB meter, so I don't know for sure. Its quieter than most NA VW's I've heard.
I looked at the CB 7254 tailpipe, but my concern was that they state its for low boost engines. Its only a 2" pipe, so I would be concerned that it may be restrictive after a certain point. Continued on next post...
My dream car. Great work!

Nice vid.
I wonder how many decibels that is. I may have to do the same thing once i install my new engine. (also CB hideaway).
Did you consider making something similar to CB part number 7254?

Nice car. im building something similar :-)
Did you notice much power loss from the muffler? Did it affect your turbo spool time?
