Thanks. I guess my next question is, what’s that?
Oh, and while I have you...what’s “WOT”?
Wide open throttle

For LC & NLS Watch this. Should explain it.

WOT is wide open throttle or flooring it.

The price is in the guarantee I guess. Lol
MAP doesn't guarantee anything despite using a GESI cat. Not saying it will throw a CEL, I just don't know anyone that's proven that it doesn't...yet.
I mainly went for AWE since I have their SwitchPath exhaust.
If you have the money just get the AWE.
AWE's dp is the only one that I can think of that uses the HJS euro cat that's widely available. I think Emmanuel might sell the BullX dp with that option.
Keep in mind the CEL free warranty is one year only, but I don't think it will be a problem
AMS uses the GESI option in their UHO size and I haven't heard of anyone mention a CEL, despite the cat's location further downstream (like APR). APR and another Canadian company's (who's name I can't seem to remember because I'm an old fart) uses the GESI HO size and both will trigger the CEL eventually.
MAP uses the HO size (you can request to change to the UHO size for $50 more) but I haven't seen any reports of CEL issues with it, probably because it sits in the stock location.
I ordered the MAP dp with GESI and resonator during the Black Friday sale, but as was noted, it's gonna take ~6 weeks to fabricate.
AWE can charge whatever they want for their product and people will blindly pay for it (Their DP is same as APR plus, they want the overhead encase they do replace anything). IMO their products are all priced 30% above what they should be, at their current prices they aren't even competitive in the marketplace.
MAP has reviews on their pipes of having no CEL's with the gesi ones on their gti pipe reviews. I don't believe anyone on this forum tho has used it or reviewed it on here so we don't have much feedback. APR uses same cat and doesn't offer the guarantee as well.

ALSO don't forget the MAP pipe is a 3>2.5 reducer so you need to cut that off to mate to a 3" catback as their pipe is designed to fit the OEM system at this point in time. That being said they do have a stellar reputation in the respective communities they service.
GESI is 300 cell & HJS is 400 cell IIRC, that could be the difference maker plus american vs European company.
The AWE is 200 Cell High Flow EURO 6 compliant HJS Catalyst. I bought mine used, I can probably sell it now for more than i paid for it.
that being said, inspectors are supposed to visual inspect the emissions system, so even without CEL could still fail the visual, but unlikely in most places. Though I read a thread about state implementation of crazy camera systems in MA inspection bays, might want to look into it OP....

I have no idea what you mean, but as you're from Rhode Island I'll guess you know what you're talking about here so...um, sure, ok!
I'd be interested to know where you got the information for the secondary o2 sensor being used specifically for fueling calculations? This would be the first vehicle I've ever toyed with that used the downstream o2 sensor for anything other than what I have mentioned.
Unless VW has done something new with the MK7, the primary (upstream) o2 sensor is the lambda sensor, meaning it's a 5-wire wideband sensor. The secondary (downstream) o2 sensor is a 4-wire o2 sensor. It cannot provide feedback to the ECM beyond catalytic converter efficiency thresholds.
Basically, the rear o2 sniffs the mixture and says to replace the catalytic converter because it's not reducing emissions effectively, triggering the MIL. This is why we remove it from the stream. Not really a hack job, if you're running a catless exhaust.
Yeah, I have. It's not a problem...yet.
As it is now, the cameras (five HD units connected to some Big Brother monitoring central location) are there to make sure inspectors don't overlook raised or lowered suspensions (1" modification in either direction is all that's allowed, I believe), tint over 35%, or, in general, sweetheart a sticker to someone. I've heard no reports of someone failing an inspection due to a visual check of the emissions systems: That said, I certainly won't take this to a VW specialist.
Mass does in fact video record (and monitor) inspections. that being said, a hi flow cat will pass (or at least can, because mine has two years now) visual inspection. I have a CTS catted DP with a 42DD spacer and have not had to remove to pass the OBD readiness tests.
This info is a from a very reputable tuner with a lot of experience on VWs. He did say that secondary O2 use for fueling is specific to the MK7 and on previous generations of Golfs the secondary O2 sensor was the same as it is on most cars (just a butt sniffer).
