    I had the xforce. Upgraded to the Bluetooth controller. Trust me. Worth every penny. You set it an forget it. You don't have to open the app everytime you get into your car. It makes a big difference and you fine tune it to your liking. Plus, you can connect it to your obd2 and let it be controlled by parameters you set. For example, if you go over a certain rpm, speed, or throttle input, it'll open wider to a preset amount that you set. I had mine set at 24% open and 100% open if I went over 3400rpms, 90%throttle input, or over 90mph. It was the perfect setup for me

    I love this setup. Had this exact combo for about a year now and its honestly amazing. Convenient for when you're near a cop and sounds amazing during spirited driving. Especially with a tune, it makes the car slightly louder since the engine is working a little harder. Drone is rare. Had the same fitment problem but only spent 25 bucks to get it cut and welded together. Worth the money!

    Great video, really helpful. I bought a stage 2 golf R that came with an xforce downpipe + stock exhuast combo and its very loud. Id love the option to have quieter cold starts and less drone at low RPM though. Those Xforce cat backs are pretty expensive here in aus but this video has made me strongly consider it.

    Great video especially bringing to light the fitment of different aftermarket parts. Not sure if I want to mess up MY ultimate sound with my Neuspeed catback. I do like the valves though. Keep up the good vids.

    • @LucasHuang

      I was surprised with aftermarket fitments too! I thought they'd be within limits of OEM but good to know now.
      Thanks for supporting!

    Always wanted the xforce but I didn't want to spend the extra $500 so I went with MBRP which isn't super loud and has a deeper tone, but once I got a catted downpipe with it, it was loud, sounded more like a tractor, and drone was unbearable. But after I got the Vibrant 17950 Resonator welded on to my catback, love the way it sounds and to me its the best sound. Not loud but loud when you floor it, little to no drone, and deep tone. A route I can recommend going if someone doesnt want to spend the money on a xforce but wants a catback and plans on getting a dp.

    • @LucasHuang
      @LucasHuang  11 месяцев назад +2

      Sounds like it's working out for you!
      Big reason I didn't want to go with any catback is having to either deal with it if i didn't like it or go back and add more mufflers and a bunch of trial and error

      @johnmota4921 10 месяцев назад +2

    I would like to have the xforce valve open and close. But I have issues with any valve openers. In the long run they will get stuck and you will never get to fix it unless you buy a new one.

  • @maxtissen2506
    @maxtissen2506 4 месяца назад

    Is the valves open sound with a tune included or is it just the downpipe and exhaust?

  • @der_schwartz_gti
    @der_schwartz_gti 5 месяцев назад

    Did the CTS downpipe left you with a CEL? (If yes, you think a 200 cell dp would give it too) I was thinking of using this combo and was wondering if the difference in diameter was a big problem

    I had this exact setup but it was a cheap cutout valve and unfortunately it leaked sound and air when closed. This meant that when it was open it was all good no problem straight piped, but when you closed it just didn’t close properly at all

    great video, i have an XForce exhaust on my mk7 R. This is not a plug for my channel but if you are curious how it sounds on a golf R I have a few RUclips shorts uploaded on my channel. but I do agree it is a fantastic exhaust.

    • @LucasHuang
      @LucasHuang  11 месяцев назад

      All good to plug your channel; love support fellow MK7s
      & the burble sounds amazing, I'm just sad for Unitronic we don't have a toggle for burbles on or off with sport mode; it's either all on or all off, so I have to go with all off :/

    • @MattZola
      @MattZola 11 месяцев назад

      @@LucasHuang interesting because when I had the burbles done I only got them when I had the car’s transmission in sport mode. I noticed in one of your videos a highway sign that said Newark so if you want you can try Drive Auto Works on route 22. that’s where I go to get literally everything done.
