Welcome to the new look VWWatercooled

After much work and little sleep there is a new version of the forums running on more powerful and recent hardware as well as an upgraded software platform.

Things are mostly the same, but some things are a little different. We will be learning together, so please post questions (and answers if you've worked things out) in the help thread.

The new forum software is an upgraded version of what came before, it's mostly the same but also a little different. Hopefully easier to use and more stable than before. We are learning together here, so please be patient. If you have questions, please post them here. If you have worked something out and can provide an answer,

  • Mk7 R Res Delete

    Where have people been buying their res delete pipes from and is it worth it sound wise?? I've been thinking of getting the Remus one but can't see too many others companies that sell it? Cheers!

    A good exhaust place can just put you in a good quality pipe, rather than spending money on an actual pipe. Rob Bliss in Geebung Brisbane did an excellent job on mine and the noise is fantastic.

      What did it set you back? Do you get any drone, I only want a bit more noise without is sounding obnoxious? I was thinking I liked the pre-made pipe as it is not welded and easier to revert back to stock if required.

        Funny you should say that. Rob Bliss made mine easy and to change. One side is bolted together and the other uses the sleeve. He the put a plate on the Resonator he took off so it could be bolted back in place. I think is was $150 all up. The noise is awesome, normal driving you would never know until you get in it the the car sounds like it should. I've coded my flaps to always stay open too. I like the drone but the kids sat in the back don't do I lines the spare wheel well with some sound deadening material, not sure if this helped. Over all drive normal and you would never know.

              $150 makes sense to use them as the Remus pipe is $185 and then I would still need to fit it. Great idea to fit out the existing res to be able to be used later. I'll mention that to them and they might remember your install! I've tried the exhaust flaps permanently open for a month or so but found the drone too much. Between 1500 to 2000rpm felt like my ear drums would pop and thats where the car seems to sit when in traffic. It does sound much better at idle though.

                Yes Rob Bliss was very good and he's done many of these. Took him about an hour.

                  Cheers for the advise. Your car sounds good, pretty much exactly what I want. I'll be making a phonecall to Rob soon to book it in.

                    I've got a genuine Audi one I can sell you. Turns out it doesn't fit my Wolfsburg wagon.

                      Cheers for the offer but I've got it booked in to a muffler shop.

                        Got mine done on Friday at Rob Bliss. Very happy with the results for such a small outlay. Awesome mod for such little money. I'm surprised at how much louder it is when the exhaust flaps are open. The DSG crack on gear changes is impressive as well and no drone. Should be like this from the factory!

                          Cool, pleased you like it, maybe the drone is more noticeable with the manuals such as mine. Code the flaps open mate you'll love it even more.

                            A res delete sounds awesome stock but if you change out the catback I preferred the res put back in as it was alot nicer sounding and more consistent sounding.
