My build on mine is slim in comparison to what you have done on yours . But like others have said it an inspiring build , and given me good ideas on my direction now. Thank you for your pursuit of this dream, and thanks for sharing the vids. Keep ‘em coming
That looks a lot faster than your stage 1 video hell yeah man. Don't give up on the golf if you haven't already. I would love to you slap a turbo on this.
I actually sold it and am looking for a cleaner, lower mile one just like it. I have just bought an S4 I'm going to have some fun with in the mean time though
o shit, fellow AR boi. I'm supposed to get my IE SRI tomorrow so i'm watching videos of 07k's in the meantime. Sounds killer, I want to do a more aggressive exhaust but my neighbors would hate my existence
What's up my fellow Arkansan, since recording this video I've swapped out the mk5 header that the 2010s get and put the oem resonator on top of this and it's still quite obnoxious. I think three flow through resonators of any decent size should be a nice compromise.
Hell yee about time! Quick question about the rev9 catback, since gti and the 2.5 uses the same body, is it a bolt on or do i gotta do modifications to the catback to fit on? Thanks brudda 🙏🏿💯
Only mod would be connecting oem testpipe, catted or not, to the gti catback, where there’s a good amount of space between. Just connect it with a 2.5” ID pipe that’s long enough.
When you tuned this stage two did ie give you the option to add crackles or is it just built into their stage 2? I recently got stage 1 and want more/better crackles. Also at what rpm do they kick in? I was pretty disappointed seeing that stage 1 only crackles under 2 grand.
I had no option, IE’s crackles they throw in aren’t consensual and that can be a good thing or a bad thing 🤷♂️ I’ll send you some different exhaust setups that allow crackles n what not if you add me on Snapchat-@sirgarrettjames, or dm me on instagram- @base_mk6. You’ll have to have a pretty open exhaust to take full advantage of the crackles. Stage 1 crackled for me just as much if not more than stage 2, it varies from day to day with weather, elevation, and fuel being some factors. I wouldn’t advise full straight pipe but that’ll be your go to option if you want the most pops. My buddy whom went catless and left only the oem resonator has plenty of subtle pops but they aren’t very prominent up high in the rev range, where I’ll hear pops at any point with my golf.
IE’s crackle tune is hilarious lol. I just put the stage 2 crackle on mine and honestly had to take it off after a couple days becuase it’s still my daily lmaoo. Right now I have full turbo back exhaust, intake, GFB Diverter +. I’m trying to decide what to do next. I’m thinking IC but what would you recommend to help me wake the car up a bit more on IE stage 2?
Hahaha, can't lie that I do crave one, but shooting for the SPA turbo manifold instead. Wouldn't make sense to drop so that much on a header just to shortly boost it. Whatever happens I'll be sure to post some vids, I need to post a video or two of the car's current progress, as I've got some recent goodies.
I have a 2014 model 2.5 mk6 which is an auto and after some time in traffic it shakes the cabin when increasing its rpm slowly from 2to3 gear , and after sometime it shows the 🔧 at the section where writes PRND After i turn the car off and on again it removes the 🔧 I have checked it for tranmission issues with computer and it doesnt show any error on the tranmission It shows only this P0106 and P2096 Do you think this two are related to the transmission? And in your opinion what should i do?
I’m not sure what I’d do, sometimes swapping trans fluid is a good idea, other people discourage it, but make sure you have plenty of fluid. Make sure your plugs, coils, and fuel filter are up to date, might need a valve body replacement or a six speed swap if you fancy that.
Do you have any socials that I could get from you? I have a few questions I’d like to know about your set up before I do something similar on my car. Thanks!
mk7.5 style for mk6, they seem to be discontinued, might try contacting OSRAM, www.osram.com/ecat/LEDriving%20XENARC%20for%20VW%20Golf%20VI-LED%20headlights-Car%20lighting-Automotive/com/en/GPS01_3276156/ZMP_4055174/

I put on a flow through muffler with the resonator that’s already on it and it sounded great. I just am young and want to soak in the short time I can excuse myself for a loud exhaust lol. I afterwards wanted more loud so I ran it with just the flow through magna flow and it was still too quiet for me. Though it sounded great I just decided to send it and just run the single resonator. Though it may not be practical or sound the best, it is the most fun sounding to me, truly a fun little car.
@@Garrett_James I don't blame you haha I installed a wotbox on my golf for the sole purpose of 2 stepping never even used it for launch control haha keep it up though enjoy your car man
@@MA-it3ps Yeah I gotcha, with the 1.8ts you can tune them to be like 265hp 280tq but you gotta upgrade them alot to do that, consider a audi tt mk1 quattro, they have 225hp stock and they can be tuned to make almost 300hp tq. I have 1 right now and it's pretty fun stock.
@@Garrett_James ight thx.. u think if I keep the stock cat nd just put on the rev 9 w the mufflers off nd cut off the resonator it’ll still pop and crackle?
Maybe 🤷♂️. Won’t be loud at all, probably will have to end up with a high flow cat if you want to hear the crackles and burbles. Mine wouldn’t hardly do a thing with the stock tune keep in mind.
Sounds absolutely gorgeous, can’t wait to see a more upgrades in the future
I need to post more often
@@Garrett_James I feel that, things take time though it’s normal
that manifold gives the engine bay such a better look
Couldn’t agree more
Sounds great bro

Appreciate the love! Only getting started
I..... This is beautiful. The 2.5 sounds amazing..
gotta love it
I miss owning a 5 cyl
I hope the day never comes where I don’t own one. Luckily if I ever separate with it, they aren’t too hard to find
@@Garrett_James planning to keep for life?
Can’t say that I will but you never know, with as much money as I’ve dumped into it, I’m leaning towards wanting to though
@@Garrett_James that 5 cylinder is the same engine as the rabbit 2.5? by the way beautiful car
@@Garrett_James this engine you swap at Mk6 or original motor
THat fukkin launch jesus christ
keep up the content bro, these vids are my motivation for my 2.5 🐐
Just sold my identical MK6 golf 2.5L that I built for over 5 years. Getting rid of it was the biggest mistake of my life! Miss it like crazy!
Love the build man! Keep it up!
@@WH331Z I hate to imagine getting rid of it. It’s for sure a blast. And thanks!

And you definitely can, stage 2 with supporting mods plus some, catless to small resonator
I have a 2010 Jetta 2.5 pretty good engine
For sure.
how did you tune out the check engine light after adding the test pipe
He didn’t you fit the O2 sensors INTO the test pipes hope this helps
clean
Appreciate it
🔥
What tune u did to cut like that and the pops omg 🔥💀
Stage 2 ie
So is your VW just the 2.5 5cyl because I just recently got one and am trying to making one similar to yours
Yes just the plain old base 2.5
Description says 02q that’s the manual right?
Yessir I swapped it from the 0a4 5 speed that was geared worse
How much horsepower is it making , sounds so sick! 🤤
A tad more than 220 crank
Nice
How did you get the manifold in there? I have the MK6 Jetta but has PS Line and pump in the way.
This is electric steering.... Yours has power steering.... You would have to find someone to relocate the power steering pump along with the tubing.

@@Garrett_James Awesome! Just added you.
Those headlights looks bad ass. Where did you get them?
Ordered them on eBay back in 2021, I don’t think they’re available anymore but I think osram still makes theirs, mk7.5 style for mk6
What headlights are those? They’re sick

How did you get the exhaust to crackle and pop?
Integrated engineering ecu tune, catless testpipe, free flowing catback
@@Garrett_James what tune was it stage one or two?
Both have crackles, stage 2 in this vid
how did you make the test pipe
Bumper conversion to gti would be clean
I went through 2 golf R bumpers. Whacked a ground hog and totally destroyed one of them whole the other one was ruined in a fender bender.
What exhaust you running at the start when you pulling out of the garage? And is it the same throughout the whole video?
Same exhaust throughout video. Catless testpipe to rev9 catback. One small resonator is all there is, all 2.5” piping.
@@Garrett_James do you have a video of the rev9 exhaust with cats?
I do not but I have the Snapchat of a kid who has ran that set up if you have Snapchat.
Yo bro still have the video of the kid that was running the rev 9 with a cat?
I always be coming back to this video to see the sheer beauty of the car. Any chance you got an insta?
@zerosevenk
Thanks big time!
How do u get the bangs, I got a unitronic stage 1 2.5 Jetta with an exhaust but I can’t get any bangs
Integrated engineering tune. Typically have to go catless to get the most pops n bangs
I wish they sold these in the EU
thinking about getting a 2.5 jetta sports wagon is the 2.5 still reliable after tunning?
Certainly
So clean bro I gotta rev9 catback and i’m about to get the stage 2 tune too. Is that a gti bumper with the fogs and are those mk7 gti led headlights?
It was stock bumper just with stock fogs tinted yellow, just replaced it all with a golf R bumper, and yes, they’re mk7.5 replica headlights.
do you loose any torque with the manifold on?
On paper I did, doesn’t feel like that much of a loss though. Worth it with the six speed swap
Have some questions about the build where can I reach you
Instagram @zerosevenk
Yo can my automatic 2.5l sound like that? Your car sounds great man 🔥
Yes
yes and you should also get the TCU tune for it
Definitely get a tcu tune, or better yet invest in a 6 speed swap before even considering tuning… swapped mine and can definitely say it was my most worthy investment into the car, adding reliability and better performance all at once.
Bro nice build were did you get your rack
Facebook marketplace
Is it a rev9 2.0 system ?
I’m not sure. Its the one that has a small bottle neck resonator in
hey man where the tail lights from?
I masked off the clear reflector part of the taillight and tinted them.
After deleting your cat how smelly is your exhaust ?
Could just be used to it but doesn’t compare to other catless vehicles I’ve had. Not too bad
What improvements were made for stage 2
You need the Integrated engineering long runner intake manifold with the iE stage 2 tune.
where did you get your front bumper?
It’s stock
Is a O2q a 6-speed trans?
I was thinking it was a 5-speed trans
I swapped it
Where can I get one of these motors?
Where do you live? In America they’re quite common and pretty cheap.
do you have a catch can system aswell
I don’t, at some point I plan to run a custom setup
whats your wheel and tire set up look amazing!

Love my 09 jetta. Like the sound but its too loud for my taste for a daily driver
Though still loud, it’s a tad more mild if you keep your foot out of it.
Where are the headlights from?
Got them from ebay but looks like they've been discontinued or something, can't find them anywhere online.
Might be worth a shot.

Where did you get that black ve badge?
Painted it
I got the same one bro same color mines 2011
Hey could you possibly send me the link for the roof rack?
I bought it off of facebook marketplace, guy had it on a Honda Accord. Most are universal, mostly just sized according to vehicle type.
it sounds good but its just a tad bit too raspy for me the pops are a bit more raspy then they are with cats
