I just bought a MK7 and installed a DP within 8 hours of receiving the car. Makes a huge difference
I did mine a couple days after 👊🏽
Did you tune the car
@@briansantos4637 yes originally with unitronic and now I’m currently sneekytuned
Bought the Cobra Sport catback for my GTI Clubsport coz they said catback gives more sound. Will get downpipe now at spring, so going full Turbo-Back! Listen to it on my channel! 👍
where are you from? im thinking about a downpipe and a tune but unsure with carb and all
Nice video bro. I have a similar setup to you, Uni stage 2, CTS downpipe, uni intercooler, dogbone mounts, turbo inlet, uni carbon fibre intake. and most importantly it's black! Am installing the AWE touring catback tomorrow. Am considering a turbo muffler delete too. Am leaving DV stock. The only mod I regret is the intake as it was expensive as it only adds some nice sound and no power. I had my engine carbon cleaned last week (walnut blasted) - feels new again.
I agree with the downpipe advice, I only recently got a catless downpipe installed (no other exhaust mods) and the downpipe complents the sound as is.
That fall killed me 😂
Where’s my MK7.5 GANG???
Right here... 392HP Black Sleeper
To put in my two-penny worth, the best modification you can really, really benefit from your GTI or any damn car is a nice set of tires. DO NOT CHEAP ON TIRES. I live in California so I'm always sporting a set of summer performance tires (Continental ExtremeContact Sports). In addition lighter wheels instead of flashy ones is recommended as well.
I'm on Stage 2 with a ton load of modifications but again, tires, tires, tires.
Just wanna let you know, I just found your channel, i have a 2020 MK7.5 GTI PP with a JB4 Map 6, Carbon Fiber APR cold air intake & MBRP Catback exhaust. But besides that I’m stock, I just bought the paddle shifters & the sequential turn signals from your Amazon link, I saw some sequentials on ECStuning but honestly I wanted to go a cheaper route so I’m looking forward to seeing how they turn out! I’ve watched at least half of your vids already, love your channel!!!
I would really love to run a flash tuned stage 2 car. I'm FBO with JB4, we have it running pretty aggressive with an ethanol mix and it runs very strong.
You're back. Nice
When ordering off AliExpress is quantity 1 or 2 for the Headlights/Taillights respectively
Helpful vid 👍🏻
Keeps me laughing as always. Thanks bro.
Steering wheel wrap makes a good difference
where my mk7 GLI peeps piggy back on this LOL
Everything right after the 6:00 mark was hilarious
I just got a 21 Tsi and its a pain finding any videos on it or mods online…. Should’ve gotten the R lmao..
subtle flex at 0:27 secs
Meow meow less lol
Had my mk 7.5 for about a year and just found out you could roll the windows up with the fob. Thanks bro 😂
i have a 2020 gti.. how do you roll the windows up from the keyfob
@@santiagogranados4096 you have to code it with obd11
Are you passing NYS inspections with the downpipe?
You're hilarious bro, lol keep it up!
Yo Lucas, your videos are always helpful. I plan on tuning my car, I got a 2020 mk7.5 & I was thinking about going COBB. You have any advice about warranty or any dealerships that are tuner friendly? Im also located in NY.
I and other people go to Huntington VW in Jericho LI
How can I get a jb4 in california
They won't ship here or do I gotta find a guy
try BMPtuning or black forest industries
AWE can still throw a CEL, and you need to be aware that the reason people don't recommend using a DP without a tune is because there is a chance it can put your car into limp mode.
Hold up... link? My awe never gave a cel but the maperformance dp did and I still need a tune
@@GOODSATIVA www.shopdap.com/blog/post/mk7-gti-downpipes.html
@@GOODSATIVA There are companies that go to great lengths to get as close to stock in terms of their construction while also flowing better, and they can probably deliver a pipe that doesn't throw a CEL 99% of the time. But at what cost? AWE and Remus both want close to $2000 for their downpipes alone...it seems foolish to spend that much and not actually make sure the ECU it's utilizing it.
It might be due to installation error, but I have seen a few posts on the forums claiming they would occasionally get a CEL with downpipes that claimed to guarantee no CEL.
Don't get me wrong though I think a DP that is designed in a similar fashion to the OEM pipe is better than catless or having the cat down by the midpipe.
Do just the awe non res track edition throw cel codes? Because a rep said the exhaust wouldn’t
@@elijahwest99 the exhaust won't give you a check engine light I ran mine for 4 months with no light. It's the downpipe that will give you a check engine light
The only question that I have is, where did you get your GTI mask?

I just got my 2020 gti from the dealer and want to do some mods and am wondering if I’ll void warranty’s or get in trouble
Get in trouble? It's your car lol
dont change anything in the ecu and ur good
if you are worried about anything like that, don't modify it. Very simple.
does the obd 11 turn on the boost gauge on the dash screen? cause some gti’s have it and mine doesn’t and i want to unlock it!!
mine just came with my car
how do i roll my windows down with the key fob? I tried it and does not work.
you gotta code it with OBDeleven or VAGCOM
Hey man, I just got a 2020 GTI S off the lot. How can we connect and talk? I was kinda sold how APR had their stage 2 for my research they discontinued it. There are plenty other companies doing downpipes but want to discuss doing tunes and keeping warranty. Since you have experience let's talk. Please
Maperformance has downpipes intakes and they do tunes. The dp sounds crazy makes my car pop off shots wo a tune
Is that car a mk7 PP?
Yo man, I just got my mk7 gti a month ago, I bought a cts turbo intake and I’m gonna be putting that on soon, but my question is do I have to be tuned to get a downpipe? Do u recommend being tuned first before getting a downpipe? Or does it not matter? Thanks!
Anyone know how to roll the windows up with the key fob? Is this a coding thing? New GTI owner here. 😅 edit: Never mind! OBDeleven
Look at you being all self sufficient.
OspreyBravo18 It’s a wonderful thing. 😂 Jumped the gun there
if you hold down on the lock bottom on the key fob, they should all wind up. same if you hold down the unlock button, they’ll wind down!
zainab Bee Don’t you need OBDeleven to code that in first though?
@@dylanellis6264 yeah i just did it to mine yesterday, obdeleven is 100% worth the money
When i did the window thing with obd11 it only puts down the driver window not all of them. Any ideas?
in your infotainment settings there's a convenience window setting to change to all windows
@@LucasHuang oh that gets added to it once you flash it?
I think so. never checked it before but i have it now
DatGameCollector it’s always in the menu. You can check the box but it won’t do anything.
what downpipe did you have with the muffler delete? bc i need a downpipe and i have a muffler delete
CircuitWerkz v2
How many mm DP?
Notifications squad
If I gut the cats on my stock downpipe do you think it’s okay to run stage 2
lol no don't do that. just get a used dp for like $200
Just take off the whole exhaust if your gettoh like that
Where did you get that hat?
at a local meet where LiquiMoly was a sponsor
Thinking about getting a mk7 GTI or R if I can find one with a dsg
yeah man should be damn near impossible
I don't have a check engine light on my 2015 GTI after adding those mods.
I have a CTS Turbo Catted Downpipe,
A BORLA Catback Exhaust,
Stage 2 Unitronic Tune,
And an Injen Cold Air Intake.
Guess I'm one in a million lol
Your Stage 2 turns off the monitor that would trigger the CEL
@@LucasHuang Oh, that explains it. Always wondered why mine never had that issue.
I just think it’s cool seeing an Asian guy not owning a Honda or Acura 🤣
900 bucks too exp for a downpipe? Damn here in Germany you're paying like 1600 EUR +
it better be made of gold
$900? My college wallet could never. I paid $200 for my catless downpipe haha. If I had the money sure....maybe...
@@usahd7745 if you go catless and get caught you get srs problems here. For example with German customs because you're emitting more than you're paying for. And that can be v exp
That's because in their country they can literally use empty pipes if they want to. They can also just use any downpipe they want without having to make sure it's certified and legal. You probably don't know anything about cars if this surprised you.
@@drogenfeld I know what cats are, just threw in a comment. But thanks for that unnecessary comment douche bag
😎
Floyd Bennett what’s your Instagram
unitronic duuduu tunes
Vw warranty sucks ass so might as well tune the car
Buy Mk 7 R and you won’t need bandaids

I am going to tell your right now that an OTS tune is risky in the sense that there is no guarantee your car is a perfect specimen. Also do not tune your car if you cannot service it yourself as it will result in more frequent service intervals for things like spark plugs and the shops around here charge 200 or something for a 20 min spark plugs job that you will need to do every 10k or you will feel a massive drop in power.
If you can service the car then I suggest you get a high flow drop in filter for your airbox which is already extremely good, and then get a downpipe along with an exhaust if you can swing it. And then for a tune you can pick up a COBB AP and search in your area for someone who can go over your car and then do a pro tune.
I am speaking from experience on the tune portion, modding is mostly research and my experience with my MK6.
You can check out the other videos on my channel that would cover all of these topics
