R5GTT'S Cars rapid
r5gtt:
As I always say to people that an exhaust system or cat back makes a huge difference in throttle response and power and by the skin off my back it seriously has :driver: need to upgrade brakes.
Top corner bolt has snapped in when tightening back up and so did the one opposite too which took two hours to remove even with oxy.
AJP:
It's the downpipe and sport cat / decat that makes all the difference on these cars, the oem cat back section on the GTI isn't too restrictive relatively. But the Milltek you've fitted will certainly help free up a little bit more. How do you like the sound?
AJP:
Oh and regarding brakes... I've got something interesting cooking..

The dyno showed that I gained about 16bhp and 20 lb/ft before I even had the map updated to Stage 2. After the Stage 2 map I gained another 10bhp and 25lb/ft on top of that!

Definitely feeling more power @AJP it's awesome and car sound nutts :rolleye: and I don't even have a map yet :signLOL:
Now I can imagine the full Powervalve system :jumping:
I've mesaged the one selling on here about the cat back see what happens :thinking:
