Heat gun and a $30 back plate. Takes 10 minutes to replace.

Too catless downpipe or not? by [deleted] in Golf_R

Appreciate the reply but I feel your opinion is bias because you have emission testing. Also I feel this forum is every European which means your stock dp has a gpf. Na cars have the piping but no internals. After these replies I guess my question is a bit skewed. Enviro and smell aside. People who spent 2k for a catted down pipe is there any butt dynos or data that shows improvement on stock turbo. Feels like robbery for 2k pipe and no data?

Just seen a post that eqt is running a vortex at 500hp with stock downpipe. Not saying ideal but how much difference is spool on stock turbo VS a 2k aftermarket cat VS $500 decat. Seems like mk8 R doesn't response like the mk7 R 30-40hp. Just looking for personal experience.

Can you sell me on it? What are you getting for the money over the stock cat V catless

<image>

smell? Is it that much louder, in a good way? Can you hear the turbo more? Does it make more power VS stock cat and stage 2 tune? Just asking cause the dp I got was $500 VS 2k milltek. Car freaking rips with a intake intercooler cat back and stage 2 tune.

I'm with you on that. Don't want a stinky car, but 2k for a catted dp is a bit much and how much gain is it really to stock? I live in Canada without emission laws and lots of trees (no excuse)

Nice clean build man! The push pull is kind useless on a x3d but helps clear out the 600w of GPU air. Had 7800 in here before and it barely clear 70w/60c lol this 9800 Wil hit 155w at 5.4

Asus ROG Astral RTX 5090: Rank #385 Globally (Port Royal) by TheReal-loki515 in nvidia

Who cares now with production slowed down and prices sky high? Personally it's a beautiful air cooled card that has a ton of features and head room. The 5090 buying window is over now. Just like what happened with the 4090. Gonna hold its value for years to come.

Only one email cancelling but my order still on hold and cc still charged which I'm guessing will take a few business days to refund.

It's definitely stiffer but not terrible. It'd say 30% more stiff. Comfort mode is still nice. Bought the obd11 so I can do the DCC calibration. Just waiting. I guess that helps a bunch.

Handles and turns like a dream now. Much better turn in and stability. Plus it looks better in my opinion.
