What did you get in the mail or bring home for your MKVII today?

034 motorsport inlet tube. What a pile of shit. When comparing measurements, it's almost an inch too long toward the filter, and when trimmed down, the turbo side is about an inch too short to mate up at a reasonable angle.

I don't have a side by side with the APR, but they're entirely different shapes. Highly doubt BMP or 034 will be of any help.

Your first mistake was buying an 034 product.

Hey, I have a few other of their parts and they're fine. But I know, I know.

Maybe the GruppeM sits in a weird spot, but the APR pipe can be clocked and it lines up literally perfectly. Shame on me for thinking simplifying the setup would... simplify the setup

I have them as well, no issues whatsoever. However, they're coming out soon because new coilovers will replace them.

Get her on track/to an autocross. Then convince her that she'll pick up like 30 seconds on new suspension, and that's why you got them for her. So you guys can have couples' bonding racing.

Lol they sure as he'll aren't for her. Her wagon is on H&R springs and that's plenty for her. She only cares about passing speed on the freeway to work.

Wagons and idk, my wife didn't care about cars that much at all until she got into autocross, now she's hooked and coming along on a ~5 hour drive for gokarting in CT

you just gotta help her find her fun

the engine mount side almost had no real nvh that I noticed, so I'd expect the same from the tranny side. The powerflex hybrid puck however......that is just now starting to lessen a bit

Oh my sweet summer child......

You could barely tell I had a SMF when I only had a stage 2 engine mount, after doing the trans side in stage 2 there's no hiding it now.

Nah man, this is what you do. You put your big boy pants on and use a very stern voice and tell her "Look woman, just be thankful that I'm not spending this money on hookers and drugs!" Trust me, works every time.

Hey, a decade ago it would be going up my nose and to bottle service. So it's justified. You're right.
