Hey guys,
Currently running a stage 1 map on my mk6 gti, its got an induction kit and has had a cat delete. My question is, when i get my down-pipe fitted next week, will i get pops and bangs or will i have to get a specific tune to allow it?
FYI- the car is a manual so no dsg farts.
Interested to hear other peoples experiences etc.

Good luck it stays good - I just took the turbo off mine and stripped down to clean, it wasnt too bad, actuator arm was free but the actuator felt a bit crappy so ordered a new one.
