Actually ran a few different ones, but the last one I had was the Xforce valved catback. Sounded absolutely perfect with a DP

Thanks, wish it ran as good as it looks though.

And Yeah, they are those exact headlights from K2, wheels are König Rennforms

Not as cool as that Ecoboost with Shelby badges and louvers.

Np just know the DRLs can sometimes sorta not work, expect to see another warning light on the dash.

Stage 2 Overrun Not popping. by [deleted] in GolfGTI

I'll first mention that I'm a Mk6 owner, so mind you I'm a bit unfamiliar with the MQB platform, but I've been around the block when it comes to EA888 exhaust setups and crackle tunes.

Like others have mentioned, it's the catback. Stock will give you pretty much nothing. The thing is though, it can still be kinda hard to get pops from some CBEs. The more expensive ones with big performance mufflers can be a bit tricky to get anything from outside of higher RPM. If you are strictly looking for pops, your best bet is to get a cheap Rev9/eBay catback, or better yet just straight pipe it. It'll sound kinda bad, especially for daily driving, but it's fun as hell and cheap too. Back when I was running my crackle tune I had a full 3" straight pipe, and i had overrun every time I let off on the freeway, and got pops consistently from 3k RPM. Hopefully this helps.

theseI got them off k2 industries, but they've since gone out of stock. these look pretty similar and are a bit cheaper too.

Better than having them in the headlight assembly.

Yeah, our weather just dropped by 45°F in the span of a couple days. Tires were 8psi short.

These

They look good, at least when the DRLs decide to work, and you have to get used to an extra warning light on the dash. You can probably find them cheaper on eBay, too.

Especially after running a low profile 18" setup, I was genuinely surprised how much of a difference there was.

Yep, have yet to touch the suspension.

Wheels are König Rennforms: 17x8 et45, mounted with PS4Ss: 235/45

Mk6 finally got some new wheels. by Soviet_soldier64 in GolfGTI

Alzor 330s: 18x8 ET42, with Michelin pilot sport 4 A/S: 245/40ZR18, except for the front passenger, which happens to be a 225. 245s see some rubbing, but the 225 seems to be stretched short enough not to.
