Help! Custom Exhaust Info Needed.

[qwertypants]

Hey guys,
I own a late 2006 VW Golf 2.0 FSI, and would like to pimp it up a bit. I spoke to Dean at Volkspower in Melb about an APR Performance Exhaust System, but he told me that It's a waste of money/time to install them on FSIs. (I'd be looking at +10% power as opposed to 35% for the GTI)
But alas, I make do with what I have...and am determined to find a custom exhaust that'll work with my FSI.
I've been recommended Borla and Shnitzer as manufacturers, but figured I'd ask you guys before I go to random mechanics that might rip me off.
(Went to a mechanic last week who said he can cut my muffler off and extend my cat, for 60$).....ehhhh

Thanks in advance

are you really after something for performance gains, or just sound...

If just sound, then maybe the remus mufflers are all that you need...

Thanks for your reply!
At first I was looking into something balancing performance, sound and a reasonable price.
But now I have had so many hassles calling up mechanics, and most of them don't have a clue. So I will settle on sound if I have to, but If I can find something that'll increase performance also (and is within my 1k$ budget) then I will go for that.
It's also hard finding a good trustworthy mechanic that knows VW. If you know anyone in Melbourne that would be sweet also.

Thanks !
