Hello,

It probably doesn't matter all too much but I'm about to get the APR Stage 2 tune and I'm deciding on which downpipe to get.

CTS Catless- $599 http://www.urotuning.com/CTS-Turbo-MK7-Golf-R-8V-Audi-S3-Downpipe-p/cts-exh-dp-0015.htm

Milltek Catless - $549 http://www.uspmotorsports.com/Volks...lltek-2.0T-MQB-Quattro-Downpipe-Off-Road.html

APR- Doesn't have theirs yet

Unitronic - Doesn't have theirs yet either

Billy Boat- Has one for the GTI but not the R

Any one have experience with longevity and ease of install as well? Also want to make sure that it lines up with the OEM exhaust. Thanks in advance.

Then I just need to figure out where to get them shipped so my wife doesn't kill me.

I'm pretty sure APR has one out now. While I was talking to the dealer about going Stage 1, he asked if I'd be interested in their APR downpipe and free upgrade to Stage 2 software.

Not sure what APR charges, but it's probably $750 at least.

I received my downpipe yesterday(Milltek) and I already have my intake installed but I'm waiting to go Stge 2 until they have their DSG tune so that I have more peace of mind.

There will be gains even on stock software, however you will get a CEL with the APR dp, and DPs in general. AWE has a free CELL DP.
Nige at BCS has one that doesn't throw CEL either. Something about primary and secondary connections and lambdas and whatnot.

I've got the tbe system in the works, will be a couple of weeks before it hits the new world, but I'll start a thread once it's done

At least in my old Subaru, it wasn't safe to run an aftermarket DP on the stock tune. It changes the airflow through the turbo (obv) and will cause the car to run lean which can be dangerous and cause lots of problems.

Glad to hear you went with BCS; their powervalve tech has peaked my interest.
