I'm going to start buying parts from you guys based solely on the existence of these DIY how-to videos and the fact that I want to support the creation of more of them. Really well made, great quality. Thanks!
+Kevin Hannon Thank you so much for the support. I really appreciate it. The support from the community allows us to continue to dedicate the resources to make videos just like this one. Once again I cannot thank you enough for considering us for your purchases. Thanks Paul
Thanks very much! Friend and I did the downpipe and full exhaust on his 2016 Golf R this week on my Quickjack TL7000. Super tight getting everything out of the tunnel, but it was doable. Most of the issue is with the brackets on the side of the downpipe getting hung up. As noted earlier though, the triple square is a 10mm, not an 8mm. Watching the video you see that the triple square looks about the same as the 10mm bolts next to it, but inverted. Overall great video, and the length was spot on. And you really do want to find a ball hex for the one cover over the passenger side half shaft. The issue being that a socket style 8mm hex is going to get hung up between the downpipe and the body, so you can't actually access the top hex bolt.
Thank you Paul for this video! I installed a DP on my 2015 Golf R and your video was a tremendous help. Though you made removing the stock cat heat shield a lot easier than it really was, the job would've taken me much longer. It took about 4 hours, but feel that I could do it much quick next time.
Hey there, great video it is very helpful. I just want to know whether do I need to worry about the gasket? Or is there a gasket needed for the downpipe?
Did this yday installed scorpion down pipe, disconnected steering rack and dropped subframe had plenty space to remove oem dp and install scorpion dp was easy you will need a friend to help with installing subframe back
Hi Paul, I noticed that a lot of aftermarket downpipes (save for a few) don’t have brackets to secure the pipe/catalyst to the block. I’m sure the engineers had a reason for it, but do you think that omitting this support brace is safe? I’d think that without it, there would be more stress on the turbo flange since it’s the only connected piece before the flex joint.
Andrew Trentacoste I have a cts that’s catless that I am waiting to install that doesn’t have that mount point, I think since the catless one is much lighter than stock it doesn’t really need it
Great video Paul! If you were to install another what would you quote for the time required to do the install? Just trying to get a rough idea for when I have mine installed in a couple weeks. Cheers
Nicely done, great video. Are any of these downpipes emissions legal? Did you need to do a software upgrade? Finally is there a way to put a list of components, referral pop ups in the title section of the video. It's a pain to go back and rewatch the video and jump back and forth. THANKS Again
+John Maffa Yes you would want to swap to Stage 2 software to accommodate the downpipe. In regards to the parts.

very helpfull video, i have an s3 8v and i am about to change my dp as well, in order to tight up the driveshaft do i have just to tight it up or with certain torque??thanks
Did you replace the gasket at the turbo clamp? I heard it's not a bad idea to do it. Any torque specs recommendations for the dogbone bolts and turbo clamp?
I really appreciate the tutorial...however if after the install you could run the vehicle to show any fault codes...and the new engine noise with the down pipe...that would be even better!!!
+ooo “Fox” ooo Yes this would be pretty much identical on an Audi S3 same part and everything. deutscheautoparts.com/make-model-year/volkswagen/r-models/golf-r-mk7/engine/2-0-turbo/performance/exhaust/revo-downpipe-mk7-golf-r-audi-s3.html
Put the nuts on the sleeve clamp on the bottom. When they're all rusted six or so years from now, you'll want to be able to access them with an impact wrench.
Does anyone know the part number to the TTY 12 point bolts for the driveshaft? Also, whats the torque spec? I'm gonna be doing a downpipe on my wife's 8v S3 in a few weeks and I'm rounding up all the necessary parts. Thank you.
Berns Tanteckchi no that would add way too much work. I just put in a cts catted downpipe on my mk7 R today with hand tools and two jack stands. If you take your time you’ll have no issues
Hey guys! Quick question; would it be possible to do the install without loosening all the engine and drivetrain etc. like skipping to taking the downpipe in and out? Obviously it would be more difficult to place everything, but is it possible? I thought I had seen a few videos of people doing without! I am installing an armytrix downpipe soon to add to my armytrix catback (golf r 2016).
It's a LOT harder on a right hand drive car because the steering column comes out of the firewall where the "cat" is. I wish I saw the video about a month ago before we did mine.
Any idea if the right hand drive cars can be done on jack stands? looking on doing mine over the weekend. U use a similar method to the vid? have heard some guys drop the subframe to make it easier
+John-Henry Corbett . It can't be done on car stands, pipe won't come out under the car, not enough room ( unless you cut it). We did mine at a workshop on a hoist. Cross member came out and steering rack was in the way. I think one drive shaft was removed too. At least 5 hours labour, mechanic said. So yeah it's a big job, unless my mechanic was useless and did it the hard way. BTW what pipe have you got?
evoCezar thanks for the heads up, will have to organize to get it to a workshop next week then. Might get the car on the stands the weekend just to have a look. Currently have a Milltek decat DP with the stock cat-back system. Have to get the stock pipe back on for a service. the workshop fitted mine in under 2 hours but they moved shop and it is a bit of a mission getting the car there now.
Is that what it is. I am in Aus losing my shit. Just just jams up. I keep coming back and watching this video and other US videos and they just wiggle it out. Trust me there is no wiggle! I been trying to wiggle it out for 8 hours now. I got jack stands. I chopped the pipe still not easy.
Q: hi , i want to know every part in the vw cars especially the engine and what every part used for ??? it is very important for me ??? please if you know it >> answer me .. thanks
Any discount codes I could use. I'd love a sponsor for a 2017 Volkswagen Golf GTI PP DSG (Eurodyne Maestro custom tune, Stage 1 DSG tune, Michelin Pilot Super Sports, Stock intake and air box mod, Dog bone mount insert)

+Deutsche Auto Parts I second Kevin H's comments, do you plan on stocking APR parts as well?

U tease ! Was looking forward to the sound of pipe !
Gotta love the upside down magnetic bolt tray! :-)
Install can be done on jack stands, I installed a USP downpipe on my 16R that way.
Did you have to pry the transmission out of the way like he did?
About how high off the ground did you have to jack it up?
Thank you Paul for this video! I installed a DP on my 2015 Golf R and your video was a tremendous help. Though you made removing the stock cat heat shield a lot easier than it really was, the job would've taken me much longer. It took about 4 hours, but feel that I could do it much quick next time.
just ordered a cts catless dp , intercooler, and Unitronic stage 2, can't wait
Another EXTREMELY helpful DIY video.
If only my golf r was this clean😮
Hey there, great video it is very helpful. I just want to know whether do I need to worry about the gasket? Or is there a gasket needed for the downpipe?
FYI the triple square is a 10mm not an 8. Found out the hard way.
Wow, so professional!
Did this yday installed scorpion down pipe, disconnected steering rack and dropped subframe had plenty space to remove oem dp and install scorpion dp was easy you will need a friend to help with installing subframe back
Great vid. Given me the confidence to have a go at this myself. Cheers
Downpipe install is near impossible on ramps, I know that for sure.
Great instruction video, thanks. This mod will be significantly easier on a GTI...
+GTI_CHHA Yes we already did a GTI downpipe DIY which can be found here
ua-cam.com/video/hTiQ1PEs2eM/v-deo.html
Why easier on a GTI?
@@trapeenot don't have to disconnect the driveshaft since its not awd
Great video as always
Thanks Glad you like.
Did this on a lift 6 months ago. Where was this video then? Took me hours to remove the DP due to drive shaft.
I'm very interested to know if it will come out on jack stands. I thought that I heard it works if you rotate it correctly
+Meat Amigo I removed mine on jack stands, you should be g2g
As did I.

Cmon where's the sound clip 😩
Oh dear lord! Fuck thatttttt. You make it look easy.. I would has to buy a new car !
Hey Paul, do you guys sell that small tool attachment that you used on the Oxygen sensor? It looked alot easier than a normal wrench.
I really appreciate the tutorial...however if after the install you could run the vehicle to show any fault codes...and the new engine noise with the down pipe...that would be even better!!!
can you do it with the audi s3 2015+? I would like to see it on the S3

What about inspection in NJ will I pass with apr down pipe
Good job. Not so quick and simple as people think.
+Brutus Motorsports Nope this is not a simple install
Hi, DAP great video here, just wondering if the bolts to the drive shaft are reusable or they are just one timer once taken off?
I believe they are stretch bolt and should be replaced
Put the nuts on the sleeve clamp on the bottom. When they're all rusted six or so years from now, you'll want to be able to access them with an impact wrench.
what is the tightening torque for the transmission?
By any chance is there a tool list that I can find? Just want to make sure I have the right tools before I do this.
Does anyone know the part number to the TTY 12 point bolts for the driveshaft? Also, whats the torque spec? I'm gonna be doing a downpipe on my wife's 8v S3 in a few weeks and I'm rounding up all the necessary parts. Thank you.
does changing the downpipe require a new tune on the ecu?
Why loosen the drive shaft? It didn't move anywhere.
Soundclip after would be great.
Will this downpipe give any fault lights?
+magnus lund without flashing to stage 2 yes.
What is the size of the v band and is it female or male on the down pipe???
is possible on jack stands. it is a major pain though
+'MURICA! F* YEAH Thanks for that.
alternatively, will lowering the subframe be a simpler option? meaning less parts to remove and return.
Berns Tanteckchi no that would add way too much work. I just put in a cts catted downpipe on my mk7 R today with hand tools and two jack stands. If you take your time you’ll have no issues
Should have showed us the exhaust
is that doable without a lift? Doesn't look like it.
Is there a difference between RHD and LHD models? or will it fit on any MK7 Golf R? thanks.
RHD would likely be different but we dont know as we only offer parts in the US
so no cat on revo you be ok to pass inspection in nj
Where can i get some oxygen sensors for the engine light after the mod?
Spacers for the sensors i should say
A stage 2 tune, which you should be getting if you do a DP will likely fix the CEL, I would not recommend running a stock tune with a dp
Interesting..... My Aussie spec Golf r only has 1 cat
is any video for s3 8v??
This would be the same on that car
Fyi it can be done on jack stands. Check the VW forums and youtube vids.
its possible but much more difficult
How long of a job is this, roughly ?
+MaRtymAr0818 going to talk about on askdap 86
makes me curious if it's even possible for someone without a lift to change out an O2 sensor
just did it lol
Wow I wanted to hear the difference in sound. Maybe next time lets hear some sound clips.
Hey guys! Quick question; would it be possible to do the install without loosening all the engine and drivetrain etc. like skipping to taking the downpipe in and out?

Unless your willing to chop things up, you should follow his steps to install the downpipe.
I wound recommend attempting this, just follow the install and it will likely go easier
This dude reminds me of Martin Starr

No sounds clip!!!!!?!?!?!?!?!?!?!?!?!
@6:03 aaaannnd you’re dead.
Damn this seems more trouble than what it’s worth
Than what its worth?! Dude, come on. Get dirty and do it. Its worth it
Definently worth the extra 100hp, the intercooler is the install that really seems bad
Just finished doing my intercooler on jack stand at home, not really hard, just a lot of steps and stuff to keep track of
What a pain in the dick!!!
does changing the downpipe on a TTS MK3 quattro require a car lift mandatory?
