    Helix Soundbox Upgrade Information Post!

    I tried to adjust the subwoofer gain on the DSP and broke the knob.. by trying not to strip the head i pushed too hard and it busted open .. Now i’m praying audiotec-fischer is willing to repair or send me a replacement potentiometer. :cry: There is zero output from the sub now.

    The New APR Intake System is Here!

    will there be a mk 7/gen 3 intake that resembles the evo 4 intake or is this the only one we can expect to be released? if not, is it possible to retrofit the evo 4 intake into a gen 3 by using a different pipe? i know the pipe that connects the box to the turbo inlet is different on evo 4..

    Downpipe with stock catback

    So I am able to hear it on video. There’s a distinct sound difference between feathering the throttle and the idle. During idle, I hear a sputtery metallic leak sound. Normal? Only really happens on cold start.

    Downpipe with stock catback

    I noticed it immediately after installing the downpipe in December. Could it be? Wouldn’t I I have other symptoms? I only have a code for the cat-efficiency since I haven’t tuned yet.

    Downpipe with stock catback

    No evidence of leaks; I notice I can also make the sound go away on cold startup if I give it a little throttle and bring the revs to about 11-1200, but the sputtery-air sound returns if I let it return to idle. I’ll try to get a recording of it tomorrow.

    Downpipe with stock catback

    Ever since I installed the APR catted downpipe to my GTI I’ve noticed a tinny, high pitched, metallic, air-puffy like sound that comes from front-mid section of the exhaust when accelerating next to walls or other cars. I’ve got it welded in so not a leak and I’m almost certain it’s not hitting...

    Apr Downpipe

    I feel like I’m beating a dead horse, but Im going crazy and we’re all cooped up at home due to SARS-COV2 so I wanted to ask about a noise I hear. I installed an APR downpipe in December. First test drive, I notice what sounded like a minor exhaust leak when accelerating. Almost like a penny...

    Taktaktaktak Sound Under Heavy Throttle

    2017 S Manual— this exact thing happened to me 2 or 3 times. You describe it perfectly. Happens when trying to accelerate a bit hard on boost. Haven’t heard it in a long time, but now i do hear a constant ticking sound when accelerating moderately next to a wall. Ticking stops when I back off...
