Watch out if you end up doing a down pipe as well. I did only a catted DP from MAPerformance and kept stock catback/res and was really surprised with how much louder it was than stock. Would highly suggest MAP for DP if/when you start looking. very nice quality pipe and easy install. Larger tips look so much better..
Did the same to my GTI except I went stainless mandrel bent and Tig welded. The drone in the cabin is a bit much around 3200 rpm, going to change out the factory resonator for a Vibrant super quiet with a Vibrant street performance muffler which will make the sound just right when I do my catless down pipe. I've heard this combo on another GTI and it sounds hella sick.
AJ Cip hmmm well I was able to pick it up, so I’m thinking it was at least 20 lbs. but I actually never thought about it, it does give it a little weight reduced! ^_^
First time I heard muff delete being illegal lol I had it done a few months in after getting the GTI. It’s a common thing a lot of people do here in Texas along with res delete
@@tripx6727 all depends where you go. Can be $30-100 but you get what you pay for in some places. You’ll have ugly welds and not even a straight Y pipe. If I could do it again I’d just save the money and get a downpipe instead
Biggest mistake was letting him MIG weld it. There are ways to to the exhaust without cutting the muffler, like a downpipe or replacing the exhaust from the clamp back.
Aye fellow Texan here DFW area. I dont live in Texas no more either but it's still registered there haha. Also glad I came across your video cause I've been meaning to get them mud flaps and now I know what they look like on the gti.
I gotta admit, I never want to do any exhaust stuff with my GTI because it's just so obvious when you're being a hoon. I don't want the attention when I'm flying around town, cops are already looking for a reason to pull people over for bullshit tickets.
Hi, i just did the same for my car... The situation it´s now i fell some of backpressure at low speeds, the revs takes a lot to decrease from 2000 to 1000 in the traffic... did you feel something like that? Thanks for the answer.
Hi. I’m in the DFW area too and I’m looking to get my muffler deleted soon on my mk7. Not meaning to sound rude but how much did it cost? Get back to me whenever. Thanks!!
I did the adapter on my MK7 GLI (same EA888 motor) and no loss of performance whatsoever. The ECU is not metered so venting to the atmosphere in this way (although split) has no ill effect.
ah yes... if your car is leased doing big mods are pretty much not worth it, unless you plan to buy it after your lease, but! most of my videos are mods that can be easily undone (besides this one) that you can do on a lease car! You should check out my BOV adapter video, its very easy to do, and easy to take out. Or just get the res delete. ^_^
Yo if you’re gonna post a video showing off your muffler delete you should answer some of the kind folks who ask you questions about the process and details. Just seems stupid to post something and then not help anyone with their questions. I know it’s like 3 years ago but still stupid
You should consider getting a downpipe and tune, will really wake your car up. Anyway, nice to see a asian girl into mk7 gti and performances, you don't get a lot of those these days. Greeting, another mk7 gti owner here from MN.
@@Xixu.co.6 At least they could have done a better job.. Fill the pipe with sand, and it won't bend like that. you now, that's how you actually mandrel bent stainless steel, so the diameter is exactly the same, and it doesn't collapse.. but you wouldn't know, would ya.
Lars S3 For what purpose? It's a 2.5" pipe splitting into what looks like two 2.5" pipes. The bends being slightly distorted isn't going to affect anything. They're not even bad, this is how 99% of oem exhausts are built.
@@Xixu.co.6 And that is why oem exhaust are shite, the flow in oem exhaust are shite, compared to same size exhaust but done properly.. There is a reason to why, you do it the right way! kink are shit, compared to mandrel, flow wise. Look at this. and learn a thing or two. ru-vid.com/video/%D0%B2%D0%B8%D0%B4%D0%B5%D0%BE-MzncueeQJ_M.html
