Catless or Catted Downpipe for VW MK7 GTI/R? 

you the first asian i ever heard with a mexican accent homie LMAO

Been modding cars for years (mainly 4 cylinder turbos) and like others have already said in this thread the difference between a catted APR (for example sake) down pipe and a catless APR down pipe when it comes to horsepower is literally 2 or if your lucky 3 HP gain, it’s not noticeable. So in summary it’s not worth the toxic fumes and plus I personally like the exhaust tone better as well...oh and I like passing inspection every year with no issues too.

No emissions inspections here in Florida bro I love it!

My hi-flow catted cts-turbo downipe make about the same hp as a friend catless downpipe. Both mk7 gti, same tune, same condition, same dyno, both stage 2. So unless you're really big turbo pushing 500whp+, the catless hp gain over catted is almost non existent. For anyone that only has a stage 2 or is38, you're good with catted, will save your health and the environment so much more.

I got a catted for my camaro. The catted is a little quieter which for me isn’t bad cause I already have a muffler delete and a careless downpipe for le would be a bit obnoxiously loud. With the catted downpipe I won’t get in cabin fuel smell and pass emissions. All of these factors made me go with catted there was no point in going Catless for me as you would only gain an extra 2 hp at most with a catless and those extra 2 hp aren’t worth considering you’ll smell like gasoline every time you drive your car and having emission inspection problems

I have a catless dp rn and I can’t stand the fumes and dizziness anymore I’m putting my stock cat back on until I can get a high flow one

Just go stage 2, it’ll turn off the CEL. And another difference between catted and catless is the tone. Not everyone wants the rasp sound whereas the catted downpipe keeps a deeper tone in which case having one or the other affects your overall sound from your catback

The pizza delivery part had me laughing.

To whom it may concern; 1. If you remove your cats, you have a good chance of giving yourself cancer. Get a high flow cat. Something to think about if you plan on having kids. How would you feel if you lost a parent? Those that have need not reply, you get it. 2. or B. depending on whether you are numerical or alphabetical, loud four cylinders don't sound all that good. If you need to make noise to be noticed for some reason, get a V8 or above. Also, if you Know your car smells like shit, that means you don't give a shit about other people which makes you an ass hole. Haters... Begin now.

Emissions. We already mod our cars we should at least be a little responsible - a go for catted

"The sound of the people" 👌

Catless DP= more drone Catted DP= not much drone if any.

You have a link to the catless DPs preferably the Awe or the ones with no check engine of course with a spacer!?thanks

Thanks I got 2010 cc definitely helped with my decision

Fuck it I'm going catless

Did res delete 2 days ago 🤪

I’m thinking of getting a cts downpipe idk tho any opinions on it?

Thank you needed this video 🙌🏾

i went catless.... and i already wanna book a time to put a high flow catt in. I like driving with my windows down on nice days.

Thanks, Very helpful! What catted down pipe would you recommend to get the biggest "BANG" for the buck?

I've got a Mk6 GTI. It came with a hi flow cat and it sounded great but I couldn't pass emissions for some reason so I went stock and I felt the difference immediately. It's been a year! But today I'm going to have my High flow cat reinstalled

Amazing brother. I love this!

When I did my down pipe and intake my boost raised a little

Went with a catless dp on my mk6 cause Florida has no regulations

what wing does the grey golf (right) have installed in the watermark?

In the thumbnail, on the red gti, what rims are those??

Thank you i was going to buy a civic that was catless watched this vid i dont think im ganna do it anymore

Would you know if I can pass emissions with an APR down pipe if I live in Illinois, Specifically in Chicago.

Anyone know the spoiler extension on the car on the right of the thumb nail?

Do you know if a 100cell DP has smell as a catless dp

So should I tune first and then do catted down pipe? What are my chances of CEL with catted?

This is for any one need info I got a 2027 gti with a borla exhaust what's a good catted down pipe that will fit the exhaust? Was going to get one on cobb but it fits there exhaust system only i believe .

What is the name of the spacer to help with the check engine light

CTS 3.5 inch catted has been treating me well other than the garbage build quality and it sounding like it leaks all the time.....

Do i need to stage 2 or tune if im going catless downpipe? Atm i have oem dp with awe track edition. Idk if i should go catted or catless? And what kinds of downpipe should match my awe track edition exhaust.

Looking to get some nicer sound coming out the back end of my mk7.5 GTI. I don't plan on getting a tune until the warranty is done, and the car is at 10,000KM. Would you suggest just getting a CBE or just a downpipe to start? just specifically for sound. Also, would a DP increase the chance of an engine / turbo problem arising? Don't wanna blow my turbo and then get f*cked on warranty cause of a DP.

Oh and those who think that a cat less is so much more efficient than just going sports cat need to look at dynos and other exhaust testing. A sports cat may even prove to perform better

I know for my 335 just having a cat less downpipe would let me tune much more than the stock one. Is this true for the gti or is it a less restrictive pipe than the 335?

So do you need a tune for a catted downpipes. For ny emissions testing

can you do a muffler delete & resonator delete & also get a downpipe is that bad for your engine?

Midtown tunnel in the beginning!

Do I need a tune when I get a catless downpipe ?

Thank you

Catless is easier to install in an R.. 😂

If I have a aftermarket catted downpipe, let's say Unitronic, will I pass the inspection? I'm in NYC by the way. Or do you know any brand catted pipe that will pass the NYC inspection with a tune, thank you !

I’m trying to get a downpipe but I don’t wanna tune bc of my warranty :( could I still run it ? And not hurt anything? Thanks Ik this is a old video but i finally got my gti :)

ok.. so im going catless :)

DSG shart HAHAHAH

Hold up, do you still get a check engine with a catted downpipe ? Or do you not for some reason?

The fumes are the best part. What kind of car guy doesn’t like that sweet petrol incense

I wouldn’t ever go straight pipe, strictly from an environmentalist perspective. I’d rather just buy a sports cat for the extra money and keep the air clean!!

Do they stink?

Catless.

So catless or Not 😬 ?

Catless>Catted

If u remove the cats will it make the car deeper or more raspier? I have a Mercedes c250 2011 v6 2.5

Cat downpipe sounds way healthier and sounds like more power vs catless sounds like shit

downpipes ads for 30-50 hp

Wow, click bait. You've said and proven nothing.

Fuck our environment right? Guess im just getting old -_-

No brainer, catless is for selfish people who don't mind subjecting others to their toxic fumes.

Less face more cars and less bulshit talk is cheap.
