Exhaust Downpipe Upgrade and Installation ~ Stage 2 Golf R

Поделиться
HTML-код
  • Опубликовано: 12 дек 2019
  • In this DIY video we are installing an upgraded downpipe on a 2019 MK7.5 Golf R. This downpipe upgrade is part of a full stage 2 build including a charge cooler, turbo inlet pipe, and Stage 2 software. Installing an upgraded downpipe on a turbocharged car will allow better flowing exhaust gas, and change the sound of the exhaust. This high performance downpipe also includes a high flow catalytic converter and is a vital part of the stage 2 MK7.5 Golf R build. Stay tuned for the rest of the stage 2 Golf R build! #humblemechanic #golfR

    I like the added feature of the timer on the lower left-hand corner of your recording screen. It helps us understand how much time actually does lapse while you do your installations and stuff. Of course it takes most of us two or three times longer than it takes you to do stuff because you’re so good at it!

    I had to stack some washers and use a longer bolt where the downpipe bracket bolts to that bracket/red rubber hanger. Mine was so far off. I removed and adjusted just to check but with the pipe on the turbo and bolted to the block it was still way off. It was really the only part of the install that I struggled with. Seemed like the two pins that go into the rubber hanger boots wanted to pop out otherwise.

    I have the exact same car in blue, soundaktor off, same IE stage 1 ECU/TCU tunes, but I deleted the center resonator. It's makes the equivalent difference as turning the soundaktor back on, but it's "real". It's still very quiet in all modes, not to loud but just enough. My mk1 Golf with dual 45 Webers on an AFH 16V Polo motor makes plenty of noise.

    That is a pain to do in the driveway. Was able to on my GLI and Bug turbo, but on the S3 I couldn't get it high enough and had to cut the pipe to get it out.
    Next? TTS front calipers? RS3 front control arms? (more solid bushings)? 034 front camber plates and other goodies?
