Some states it is illegal. Check with your local state laws, however I could say that if you are keeping your stock muffler and resonator, chances of you getting cited for a modified exhaust are very slim. You go adding a blow off valve and aggressive sounding exhaust you will only draw attention to yourself. Again, do your research do not depend on anything you read or are told by someone behind a keyboard, as they are not going to defend you in court.
I loved the step by step video. Also I was always hesitant to do this change because I don't want to have a loud car or being stopped for having a loud car. I want the performance and not loud noise. The sellers should advertise it that way " performance and no loud noise"
Watching this video makes it so much easier to understand. I have the same car and I’m slowly building it to my own vision! I’ll probably reach out to you when I’m ready to install. Thanks for the info.
Just a heads up. The O2 spacer helps but it almost never eliminates the risk of getting a CEL. Just installed mine 4 days ago. Same exact setup, and after about 200 so miles the CEL came on. No worries, it won’t damage the engine just need to get a stage 1 or 2 tune. Clear the CEL for good
A great video and very informational. I will be installing this on my 2015 Passat TSI in a week or so. My car currently have CTS CAI, and Burger Motorsports 93 stage 2 tune. Can't wait to have an unrestricted downpipe system installed. She will absolutely rip. Again, great video man! Thumbs up! :)
@@mxdaddy I have an Rline beetle. Your video directed me to a well quality DP that I can add on stock tune until I go stage 2. That way, I’ll already have DP. And also gave insight on what I might run into while doing install myself. Thanks !
Just saw that you got your spacer off eBay but when I click the link in the description it takes me to a link that says it’s unavailable. Could you please help me find one that would work just as well please and that is available
I really appreciate your clear explanation... I have an Octavia 2.0 TDI 81KW Non DPF... Im looking to fabricate a downpipe can you please suggest to me the Diameter of downpipe to be used?.. Mine is stock
I have already done the full clod air intake. The next step is the the down pipe and catalyst converter. I am trying to increase my take off acceleration.
Look into a JB4 tuner from Burger Motorsports. All plug and play and is a great addition. I would say the best addition I have done. I will be adding an install video soon.
Do you know how different would the fitting be for a 2019 passat 2.0T? I can’t find downpipes designed for my car so it looks like I’ll need to get a previous version and maybe have my shop fabricate some parts
Hey man quick question, so I have apr stage 1 on my car and it’s the same car, so I’ve had the dp for about a month now, and I got a cel once I got it but I put a cel eliminator and it took it off for a good month but recently the light came back on and ever since I got the dp my airflow doesn’t seem normal, I know I need a tune for it but in my state stage 2 isn’t available, has your cel popped up or how is yours holding up? Also any ideas of what I could do? Thanks and I love the car!
very thorough video friend. as far as the underside of the vehicle, can this install be achieved on a 2017 jetta tsi? or would the exhaust piping itself be routed differently? Thanks
There is probably two inches. I would fit the pipes as best you can, drive the vehicle and recheck your work. I have another video showing the pipes came apart after driving. Check it out, there is some extra helpful information.
From what I understand 91 octane should be used if you are using the downpipe. I have added a JB4 tuner from Burger Motorsports and it requires 91+ octane.
The JB4 is a self tuner but not mapped directly to the ECM. It is a plug and play device and works pretty awesome. I have not done a video on the install yet but it is very easy and took less than an hour. I have a warranty on the car that I do not want to lose.
No, only a stage 2 tune will do that. I believe there is an O2 delete that gets rid of the CEL. I have just learned to live with it. I do a diagnostic check from time to time, just to make sure there is nothing else triggering the CEL. I can handle the pesky light to keep my warranty.
is it illegal to have this mod??? need answers

yes but its not like youll get pulled over immediately,, mainly have to worry about emiisions/inspections.

About to go out mine on by myself! Wasn’t too confident on my own but seeing you made that change! I appreciate it!
Glad I could help
Great vid! and setup. I'm actually in the process of doing the exact same exhaust set up, leaving stock resonator and muffler on. Love it!

What’s the CTS CAI? Want more things for my car
@@Foreignwrists it’s the cold air intake
Thee best to have done this yet I’ve seen. Thank you for the full detailed video. 🙌🏾 10.
thanks for the compliment
Thank you! This has given me the green light to place the order! You should be an ambassador!
Glad I could help!
Edit- never mind saw your comments about getting the code and living with it
Great video!!! Getting mine soon for my gli 2016 facelift
Thank you for making this video
Is going to help a lot 🔥

Still looking for one guys anyone that know of an available spacer please let me know
Ricer sound. Good way of putting it. Great video!

@@mxdaddy can’t wait to see it
You sold me on it. Just bought one for my 2015.
Thanks, and to achieve the different sound, which silencer should I buy?
After a hundred or two hundred miles it’ll sound way better
So how would an exhaust work? Would i not use all the piping from the down pipe kit? Someone please help me
Is the v clamp supposed to be all the way tight
The spacer link isn’t available anymore it says.. also is there a universal size for spacers/o2 sensors? Or should I buy a specific one?
Thanks for the upload... Subscribed 🍺
Thanks for the sub!
So where does the o2 sensor by the turbo go???
Do you know how different would the fitting be for a 2019 passat 2.0T? I can’t find downpipes designed for my car so it looks like I’ll need to get a previous version and maybe have my shop fabricate some parts
Thanks I been looking for upgrades for my 2019 Passat
happy upgrading!
Is there 1 or 2 o2 sensors?
What is the diameter of the right angle spacer, cause I’m looking to also trick my Passat 2.0 when I do my down pipe
Hey what happened to the gasket that's supposed to be installed? Where does that go?
Hey man quick question, so I have apr stage 1 on my car and it’s the same car, so I’ve had the dp for about a month now, and I got a cel once I got it but I put a cel eliminator and it took it off for a good month but recently the light came back on and ever since I got the dp my airflow doesn’t seem normal, I know I need a tune for it but in my state stage 2 isn’t available, has your cel popped up or how is yours holding up? Also any ideas of what I could do? Thanks and I love the car!
End up getting a cel after a while?
How does it drive without the tune ?
Rev video?
whats the vband size? does anyone know?
could you post more outside exhaust videos, like revving?
Here you go!

Is that on that a transverse 1.8t or a longitudinal one?
very thorough video friend. as far as the underside of the vehicle, can this install be achieved on a 2017 jetta tsi? or would the exhaust piping itself be routed differently? Thanks
I would contact CTS for a complete guide on the vehicles this pipe fits.
does the downpipe come out fairly straight? Considering doing this mod myself but id only have the car up on stands as i dont have a lift. thanks!
Hey man where did you get the right angle spacer?
Hello
When you where assembling the pipes how many inches did you let it over lap?
There is probably two inches. I would fit the pipes as best you can, drive the vehicle and recheck your work. I have another video showing the pipes came apart after driving. Check it out, there is some extra helpful information.
Did you have to use premium gas after the install of the 3” down pipe catted?. And did you ended up tuning
From what I understand 91 octane should be used if you are using the downpipe. I have added a JB4 tuner from Burger Motorsports and it requires 91+ octane.
@@mxdaddy oh ok. Nobody wants to tune it. And i rather have it dialed in
The JB4 is a self tuner but not mapped directly to the ECM. It is a plug and play device and works pretty awesome. I have not done a video on the install yet but it is very easy and took less than an hour. I have a warranty on the car that I do not want to lose.
@@mxdaddy me neither lol. So that tuner will get rid of the check engine light
No, only a stage 2 tune will do that. I believe there is an O2 delete that gets rid of the CEL. I have just learned to live with it. I do a diagnostic check from time to time, just to make sure there is nothing else triggering the CEL. I can handle the pesky light to keep my warranty.
Would this work on a 2016 jetta 1.4 tsi
I am not sure if it does. I would contact CTS for the models it does fit. Look onto Moddedeuros.com too.
was this on the stock exhaust setup?
Yes, no modifications from the back of this downpipe
O2 sensor spacer link to ebay part is no longer available. Anyone have any luck finding O2 spacer on eBay?
Do you work on Passat gt 2108…?
I am not sure if it does. I would contact CTS for the models it does fit. Look onto Moddedeuros.com too.
If anyone wants this part at discount I have a used one I want to get rid of. It’s the exact same one
Are you selling your stock downpipe with the catalic converters
I am not...Holding on to that baby. Seems to be like gold since all the druggys are stealing them
@@mxdaddy Are you going to get it tuned?
Keep it for when you need to pass inspection/emissions testing.
So u automatically get a check engine light 😭
yes
Did you had your software before doing this upgrade
I did not flash tune my car. I installed a JB4 tuner from Burger Motorsports. I will be doing a video on the install soon.
