Quick question

[adzy]

Getting an exhaust fitted tomorrow, would anyone buy a stock GTI exhaust? Not sure if it is worth keeping ....

[NabzGTI]

I'd say keep it!! If you ever decide to sell your car, put the original one back on and sell the performance exhaust.

[adzy]

Thats a point. If I could be bothered all the stuffing around.

Every car I have sold I have left all the a/market parts on yet I always intend to swap them all back!

What exhaust are you getting?

[adzy]

3" turbo back APR stealth - seccond hand

Adzy: I have the same exhaust due to arrive in 3-4 weeks. Also getting a AFE Stage 2 Cold Air Intake Pro-Dry so it should breathe well and have a very nice induction noise. Let us know how it sounds

Your probably getting the RSC version which eliminates the drone. Lucy you as mine is LOUD as fcuk from 3500rpm - 4500rpm!! Dean at Volkspower said he would add another resonator to the system if I cant stand the noise.. for no extra cost, on ya Dean
Sounds bloody awesome under load though, when boost kicks in it sounds like an F16 taking off.. love it. More of a power increase than I expected too.. second gear is all wheel-spin now when before it was only for a little bit.
If you get the AFE make sure you have it heat shielded properly... I got to start looking for an intake now hmmmmm

[CableGriM]

Yes mine is the RSC version. Getting the exhaust and filter from vividracing in the states through a friend already placing an order. It should be shielded pretty well and the bonnet encloses the pod.

I will have to wait till I get my tune before I fit them, APR or GIAC now that is the question. Then the sat nav and xenon retrofit. I thought i lost the modding bug with my Calais, NOPE I STILL GOT IT!!!!

When picking your tuner try to look at real data from both companys (keep in mind EVERY dyno varies with its data). If you ask for advice on a forum you just get a whole bunch of biased tools arguing why their brand is better. Lucky for me I saw both companys stage 1 tunes on the same dyno which made me happy with my choice.

Errrrrrrrr the fark'n modding bug!! Tell me about it! I thought I better not molest the GTI too much when I bought it as it was neat and near new but now I have totally screwed up that idea... you will never loose the bug but I love it, at least we are passionate about something that makes us damn happy. When you out accelerate a BF II Falcon XR8, the look on the owners face is priceless! Sorry XR8 guy!
