Downpipe/Exhaust 2.0 TSi

[Guy_H]

Plenty of fuel on the TSI even for stage 3 - thats a big advantage on this motor .

To be honest, if you go drive a K04 car & then a K03 car (like same MK5's for example - a regular one, then a Pirelli) - the shift in the powerband is underwhelming (same as Golf R vs new GTI). -the Stage 3 is dynamic - but you really need to decide.

Once you drive stage 3, you will never go back - and the drive train will be fine - as long as you don't want to be a drag racer!

Go down to your ocal performance exhuats centre and get a quote. You mite be suprised of the cost compared to the APR!

That doesn't make sense to me?

As krracing said we all have the same tsi engine with the same k03 as the gti. If you whack on a k04 you can run the same boost and get the same power as the gti.

Where are these 'general consensus' people who have all gone stage 3 on Tiguan's? I'm struggling to find anyone that has anything other than a chip. I only know of Team V and some other bloke o/s who have stage 2. I'd love to hear from stage 3 Tiguan owners, if they exist.

If you bothered to have a look on VWVortex you would see plenty of Stage 3s on Golfs and S3s, why does it have to be on a Tiguan?

You need to settle down a bit chum and realise that some people know better than you do and just because they say what you don't want to hear doesn't mean it's not true.

What price do you have on a jig manufactured stainless steel mandrel Tiguan 3" downpipe with 200 cell metal cat that you are comparing to ours?

Oh, P.S. we have not released any prices yet.

Just trying to understand your post.....

Here is a review on the difference between K04 & stage 3 on the TSI with the Quattro platform & the DSG Gearbox (pretty similar to the Tiguan).

Best thing of all - they use the Aussie developed / manufactured downpipe

Upgraded to APR Stage III Quattro from my AWE/GIAC K04: Results Inside! - VW GTI MKVI Forum / VW Golf MKVI Forum / VW Golf R Forum / VW GTI Forum - Golfmk6.com

Easy tiger, apologies if i sounded brash, it's the interwebs that makes everyone sound hostile. I was just saying 210kw to toughly 240kw sounds like a lot of power increase to me. You obviously feel 30kw is 'not much gain'?

Re the stage 3 i wanted to hear from Tiguan owners who have done it. It read like you were saying there were stage 3 Tiguan's out there (we are on a tiguan forum!) so i was keen to find out where. I don't see anything wrong with asking?

Im not sure how much a down pipe is but my buddy just had one made for a 180sx (stainless 3" dump for $310)

A 180sx wouldn't have twin oxygen sensors and have to bend around a 4Mo system though..........
You can't really compare parts for a jap import to parts for a Vdub as there is an awful lot more tech involved in a Vdub part.

The APR pipe also allows you to load Stage 2 software (if you have the intake fitted) and covers some of the cost of R&D into the upgrades.

Wouldn't any 3" downpipe allow you to load the APR stage 2 software? Making the assumption they get similar air flow....

I don't know.
I assume not since they wouldn't be able to justify the product claims if you are using parts that they have not tested.

I also do not know if the downpipe is 3" all the way through so there are a number of variables that need to be accounted for.

Maybe Guy can shed some light on this for us.

Looks like a sinlge 3" to me...
