What did you do to your mk7 today?

[STANDARD H]

Same here on Track w/ stock DP. It's a great combo.

For anybody going full AWE TBE at the same time though, I'd recommend Touring. Then if you want even more aggressive, buy the Track conversion for $158. It's not like AWE doesn't warn you. lol Per their site:

The AWE Tuning[emoji768] Track Edition Exhaust is for those who want to turn it up to 11. The Mk7 GTI Track Edition Exhaust takes all of the handcrafted engineering of the Touring Edition Exhaust, and replaces the resonator with a straight pipe section for a more aggressive tone (and a more aggressive price to boot).
Please note: this is a loud system and buyers should be aware.

Ah. Interesting. Need to watch those YouTube vids then. Thanks!

Listen to this video at 2:52 and 3:54 for the in-cabin NVH I speak of. It's not terrible by any means, but could be tough on your passengers.

Personally, I actually think it sounds better inside the cabin than it does outside! To me, it's a little too "rice-y" outside [emoji15]

I'd love to meet up sometime so we could do a stock vs awe comparison. I'm in the Baltimore Metro area and go to hunt valley horsepower on occasion.




To keep the thread on track...
I recently filled up with 93 after filling with 87 for the last couple of tanks. There's not a huge difference between the two, however, throttle is sharper and the torque seems to hit a bit heavier. It could just be the sudden dip in temperatures we have that made that difference too.

Just found it interesting. I'll likely be continuing with 93 as well or at the very least every other tank full so that it is closer to 90-91 Octane.

Darn. I was just in Linthicum Heights this morning for the install. Back in Slower Delaware now.

Installed the BFI stage 1 transmission mount and ran my foglight wiring for my retrofit on a 17 Sport.

+2. Just the APR downpipe alone left me thinking it sounded somewhat ricey. Feel like the exhaust increases that without the performance increase. Would rather put that 800 into an IC or save it for an IS38 [emoji48]

You got it. Really like Ed and staff. Good work, reasonable rates.

Right on man. I love my exhaust but the combo doesn't appear to be my jam.

The drone of the downpipe at time gets to me. I'm back and forth on adding an exhaust sound to it.

I don't have professional recording equipment. Here's the best I could do with a Mexican smartphone to give you a sound clip of my AWE Track turboback. Enjoy!

Bought invidia q300 exhaust with burnt tips! Can't wait for it to come

Factory splash guards. $110 but I had a 25 dollar off coupon. Hopefully they help keep it a bit cleaner. They are very subtle.
