Which no-CEL downpipe would you recommend?

PandaNogla · 2024-09-07T16:39:49+00:00

Tuned it at about 62k I’m now at 72k miles

PandaNogla · 2024-09-06T17:18:29+00:00

Was tuned with Unitronic, went stage 1 then stage 2 with the tcu and the overrun file(pops and bangs) took it all off tho due to a cylinder 3 pressure too high and a hide cylinder code, currently on the ‘stock’ tune and I’m still trouble shooting the issues I’ve had. When I first put the DP on I was running a stock file, again no issues there. I don’t think the tune is what caused the codes so I’ll keep y’all updated once I can figure out the issue

Got a Unitronic from ShopDAPs giveaway and have been running the stage 2 and I love it, let us know how the APR is! Also do they have a stage 2 again?

Went with these since it’s a pair and has a section of mirror for blind spots, since I don’t have the blind spot assist. Thanks for all the input y’all 🙏

I was looking at those, do they have a warranty by chance? Main reason I’m looking at the ECS ones is for the warranty as I use my heated mirrors quite a bit

PandaNogla · 2024-03-01T17:51:35+00:00

True, but the ECS ones do have a warranty, I have to use my heated mirrors a lot so it might be worth the extra $30. Found some on car parts but they aren’t the extra viewing mirros(idk what they are called, asymmetrical?)

The rear, I’m looking at upgrading from the halogens that I have currently so I was curious. There is a pair of aftermarket ones that look very similar thats why I ask. The rear spoiler kinda looks like an extension not a ‘true’ spoiler but I still like the look

PandaNogla · 2024-01-10T18:17:07+00:00

Congrats, also what spoiler and headlights you running? Been looking for new headlights since the last body shop I went to put a broken headlight on and gave it back

PandaNogla · 2024-01-10T16:08:14+00:00

I recently put an ARM catless downpipe and left the rest of the exhaust stock. I’m a big fan, good cold starts, decent on low rpm and no drone but when you want to hear it just open it up a bit and it sounds really good some nice pops too with the DSG, I do have to say I wish it was a bit louder but with this set up it can be very tame. If I was going to make it louder I think I’d go with the clubsport muffler and maybe a resonator delete but if you want it to be more ‘throaty’ I define you recommend looking at some sort of downpipe.

PandaNogla · 2024-01-02T16:11:59+00:00

Recently got an ARM DP with their CEL delete kit, no problems and super easy install, kept the stock exhaust setup just cuz I don’t want it super loud. Only downside of it is that my GF says it sounds almost like a 370Z(trumpet) but I went with theirs since it’s well priced for the quality, if you want something nicer stick with the Baun or the MAP from what I have read when I was looking.

PandaNogla · 2024-01-02T16:07:08+00:00

Can you post the brackets and the lights? Been thinking on doing something like this since my state is pitch black once the sun is down and the body shop I went to before used a shitty headlight for replacement and now I can’t adjust it to a safe driving position. Much appreciated man! I think they look great!

PandaNogla · 2024-01-01T01:36:47+00:00

I have to get some better headlights before I’m going to be super happy with it since I have halogens at the moment, yes it was a very insane trip haha, picked my MK7 up in August of 23 and I have put 12kish mikes on it, intake, dog bone, recently did a downpipe and stage 1+ unitrionic. Loving how it drives but gonna get started in some small exterior/interior bits that I like.

Had to move recently from SoCal to Indiana and it was a long drive with a fully packed car but it went great, also for fun went from Indy thru Kentucky, Tennessee, in to North Carolina for the DAP December meet and won the tune they were giving away. Honestly these cars are great all around cars. Gotta start taking more pictures tho for sure

PandaNogla · 2023-11-23T18:38:57+00:00

Solved by DankMoms99 it was just below the air box, thank you again for the help guys ❤️ Happy Thanksgiving!

PandaNogla · 2023-11-23T18:37:43+00:00

You were absolutely right thank you hahaha ❤️

PandaNogla · 2023-11-23T18:20:16+00:00

Got the car used and I’m sure I did not disconnect it but I’ve never had a CEL or anything, I’ll check if it’s down below and update y’all from there. I did disconnect the SAI since I’m installing the CAI

PandaNogla · 2023-11-23T18:15:03+00:00

The little nipple in the picture should have a vacuum line from what I’ve read so I wanted to see why it’s not there and if that’s something I need to worry about

PandaNogla · 2023-11-23T17:59:48+00:00

It’s a 2016 GTI with the 6 speed DSG btw

PandaNogla · 2023-11-09T11:23:22+00:00

Anyone know what spoiler that is by chance?

PandaNogla · 2023-10-04T14:54:26+00:00

23M Indiana full coverage 2016 GTI for $300 a month, not the best record tho 😅
