I really like these. I wish they had just a bit more power.
I can confirm this comment, they're kinda gutless.

I was hoping for more powah.

Needs the toona.

All you guys are getting res deletes, and have me thinking that I want to pair one with my axle back. I found a local guy that couldn't tolerate the drone when he had it paired with his Remus exhaust. He is going to sell it to me for $80cad. A little less then half of a new one minus shipping or taxes so I'm going to pick it up tomorrow. :popcorn:

not a bad way to try it, just make sure he give you the correct clamp. Its a butt style. ECS ships a 42mm bmw PN one. Id also recommend the $25 gear wrench pipe cutter from amazon.

I could see with a less baffled muffelr you might get more drone. IMO, in normal mode its still the exact same as stock. It might be a hair louder behind the car.

:fuckyeah: thats good news on the drone, also my pipe is already cut in the right spot i think, the axle back basically bolts on where you separate the res from the muffler.... i think. The cat side should be a perfect fit for the car.

Are you driving with the windows up or something? Mine is definitely noticeable in normal driving. I can hear it in all modes.

Mine is louder specifically from 3-5k. There's definitely a bassier tone to it. Cold starts are noisier as well but that dies down once rpms drop to idle.

Yes, I noticed a slight rattle behind digital cluster to the right on day 1. I havent heard it since.

Loudest thing on the car is road noise from Conti contact tires, IMO. And they aren't bad. Wind noise is far quieter than other cars I've had. Even when the mk6's were knew they had perceivable windnoise. Not so in the mk7.

Where do people list wheels for sale now days? Like the nice stuff. $1-2k in good shape. Not busted shit with crap pictures and no specs on wheels, like CL and FB marketplace..

is there some other forum other than vortex? Am I missing something? Where did the good used ads go?

Decent wheels are tough to find anymore, everyone's getting knockoff shit and playing it off like it's legit. :disgust:
well shit. Ive been looking around for a few days now. Even the stance nation forum bros classified are :flaccid:

Oh man this guy with the res delete is so cool! Best community ever! He included the vw/audi factory pipe as well as some custom pipe about the same length that he says he used to fit up perfectly with the Remus.

Shit is about to get LOUD! I asked him if I should expect double the volume output..... he says more like triple :LOLOL:

It's just a VR6 Passat with some GTI-like exterior decorative bits. No real performance enhancing anything. Looks ok-ish but meh :whocares:

Oh awesome! :poorvette: power in an awd car with a DSG is going to be :tits:

:notsure: about ramming even more tech into that thing :doe: , replacing a subframe, rad and oil pan was $3k in labor, some of it due to calibration after alignment. How much to run over a rock with a hybrid bolted in down there too??

Yea but that was a dillershit rape quote. You could have just replaced the oil pan for $260 in parts + $200 in labor and called it a day

Sure if it was my moola :dat: is what I would have done. Add $20 to spray a rust inhibitor on the part of the subframe that got dented.

I actually don't love the new subframe. Weld spatter all over it under the paint. I should have ordered a light weight aluminum S3 subframe actually, trick part that won't ever rust. :notbad:
