I have a 2003 gls 1.8t beetle with the APR stage 1 tune. I like how it's quiet and quick, but at the same time I want to do resonator delete and replace the muffler with a flow master fx one
a cutout would be a great option! I recently posted a video of a cutout on the Beetle. Good way to get good, loud sound when it’s open, and then go back to the way it was when it’s closed!
Man I just got an 04 beetle 1.8t turbo convertible, I used to own a Saab 2.0t and Volvo 850r that was making 350 on a 19t on e85 at 22psi I was hoping to see more of your project, I’m planning on doing a k04 or maybe a an 18g Mitsu turbo, I’m miss my boots coming on like a freight train my Volvo used to spin 3rd when rolling onto it, the instant torque of the small k03 is nice but I wish it had the top end
Correct me if im wrong but if the manifolds has an inch and a half outlet to connect to turbo is having a 3in gonna make any difference ?? I was so disappointed when i saw my new "upgraded" k04 flange size..
at highway speeds there was definitely a little drone, but it was nothing too bad. We no longer have the car, but while we did it was a daily driver and we had no complaints
Was this a straight bolt on from the Jetta kit? I seen where you commented that the exhaust tip would not fit, would it require cutting the bumper a little to make the exhaust tip fit? Hopefully you see this, I know the video is a little old according to RUclips standards lol
yes, the kit we got was for the golf/jetta. If you cut a slot in the bumper for the tip it would exit without an issue. We ended up having a tip similar to the stock on fabbed up, so that it would exit at a slight angle and not risk melting the back bumper
obviously ran the classic P0420 code for the catalytic converter being pitched in the trash. You could remedy this by using a spark plug non-fouler as a spacer, or what we’re doing, getting the car tuned (video coming soon!)
they actually came on the car when we purchased it! one of was broken off when we got it and we haven’t been able to find a replacement set yet, not sure where they came from but I really like the look of them!
we got ours on Amazon, but they’re on eBay and a bunch of other sites too. The exhausts are for the golf/jetta 1.8t but everything other than the exhaust tip fits on the beetle
Nice setup! Definitely a refined sound for that price point. Nice bug!

Gotta 1999 beetle, currently got a loose exhaust so might as well take it to a shop and replace it with a 3” catless
Looking for amazon link ?

How was the drone in the cabin when driving it? I wanna get a similar setup on my daily and don’t have the money for a $600 exhaust

Where's the link to the exhaust?
Any issues with Check engine lights? O2 sensors plug in? Thanks I like the sound

How can I tell if I have a tdi, or gls or glx ect.

Is that a Color Concept model? I used to have a black one!
we don’t believe so. it has the Take 5 wheels but the interior doesn’t match that of a color concept
where’d you get the mud flaps? couldn’t find any for my 2004 turbo beetle

Rock blocks sells a universal set that are trim to fit.
I literally had just saved the exhaust a few days ago, and now it is taken down on almost every website 😭
we got ours on Amazon, but they’re on eBay and a bunch of other sites too. The exhausts are for the golf/jetta 1.8t but everything other than the exhaust tip fits on the beetle
Where do I get the kit? Please send the link
@@cartermaneki what's the name of it?
