16x7 jeep rims with 215/70R16 tires. Thank you!!

General Grabber A/T 215/70R16

I think the muffler inlet was 2.75" but it's been awhile so I am not positive!

I wish there was a laugh react..... 🤣

Thanks! Someone paid us to remove it and it was delivered to its new home the other day!! They plan to restore it!

It makes us sad how much probably gets tossed... 😞

Lmao!

Yeah if it has this code and is doing that I would expect the same thing to be the issue. Not a complete transmission replacement.

@@wrenchingcouple2034 thanks bro! Appreciate the video

Last one would be eficient😅

Thrush on a diesel is blastphemy. Big tractor stack out the hood only.

Sorry to hear that! So far I have had zero engine codes or lack of performance. Been 45,000 miles since it was cut off and truck now has 170,000 miles. If anything might have lost some fuel mileage but that also could be from getting on it more often. Thanks for the comment!

⁠@@wrenchingcouple2034 I put a flow master on my 2017 with no valve or resonator. It’s a single cab. My fuel mileage went from average 21 22 mpg to average of 16mpg 😂 I guess not having back pressure done that.

The code for me was pointing to the transmission temp sensor. I did a little digging into a wiring schematic and confirmed with the local dealership as to which harness had the physical temp sensor attached to it. Luckily the one that has it is the easier to replace harness. Hope this helps!

I have a 2017 Silverado. I would assume if you are having similar issues this could be it, but not 100% sure. Thanks!

@@wrenchingcouple2034 I think we have the same transmission lol. 8 speed POS

We are located in southern WI, so far the APR coils are holding up. However the car does randomly have misfire issues. We have been thinking its fuel related since its always right after filling up. The APR tune and coils definitely give the car some extra power and the wife loves it!

@@wrenchingcouple2034 have the valves checked for carbon build up! Notorious for that on these engines! You miggt have to have them walnut blasted, or chemically cleaned. I ended up putting a catch can on mine. Just a heads up. Good luck!

Since eliminating the valve, muffler, and resonator I have had zero issues. I only keep the trucl in v8 mode with my Range device. Ive heard that if it goes into v4 mode with the valve out, you can get a decent drone from the exhaust sometimes.

Bought the wheels and tires through Discount Tire. Then had them powdercoated to the color she was looking for!

@@wrenchingcouple2034 gotcha thank you. Car looks amazing the exact look I’m going for 🤙

We ordered some lights and will be looking into a roof rack! Hopefully we will make it to some trails this year once the weather warms up, wo see what the car may or may not be capable of.

@@wrenchingcouple2034 fingers crossed sure it be OK have you watched the beetle on tfl on RUclips did OK in fair.

No we haven't, we will have to look it up. Thanks!

@@wrenchingcouple2034 it's a good video bit old now and with a older beetle than yours but it fun to watch 👍

Thanks for the subscribe! Lifted VW are cool, so I'm sure your car looks awesome as well!

I have the 3 cats. I cut it off like a foot after the third cat and straight piped it

was just about to ask the same question, going to delete the huge resonator and the muffler right before the exhaust tip, just like yours , it sounds perfect, doesn’t seem too loud

Hey what products did ya use for the delete?

There is three cats so there is one off each exhaust manifold and one after they meet. If you delete that I think you will not meet emissions. The muffler is just in front of the axle and the resonator is after the muffler. It is just behind the axle

Reach out to vwhighlife@gmail.com they will get you all the info you need. They have a kit for 2018 beetles.

Thank you!

Vwliftkits.com should have a kit for your beetle. Plus if you message them, they will be super helpful as to what tires and wheels will work with the lift!

In my opinion and I am no expert, I would say that the temp isnt fluctuating and it's just the reading back to the truck. I drove it for awhile while I diagnosed it and waited for parts and didnt see any trace of physical damage when I opened the transmission. My only concern is what affect the temp has on shift points. Maybe the temp read back has 0 affect on shiftingor anything transmission related other than being a warning. . That is something I didn't know so I just choose to fix the problem.

Wrong temperature causes it not to shift right.

Someday we will take it off road. The plan is to take it down to the badlands when we get a free weekend!

Thank you! As far as I know there isn't part number. You kind of just find the ones the fit what you need. We went with a 5x112 to 5x5 wheel adapter that was 1/2" thick. I have seen some that are 2 inches thick. They can make custom ones too. You can search "usadapters" on ebay or here is their website: www.uswheeladapters.com/5-lug-wheel-adapters/ Thanks and good luck on the bug!

Ill add that to my list of to do!
