Thread: My White Shark - 09 CC V6

    My White Shark - 09 CC V6

    Gentlemen,

    I bought my sexy white CC V6 before X’mas and I am absolutely enjoying the car.

    Love the fact that it's got so much power and the smoothness of the 3.6 L engine/DSG.

    It is a stunner, like everyone else here, I just can't help looking at her for a while everyday.

    Sexy asss

    Only five pictures per post????!!!!


    Below is a list of mods I would like to do down the track. Ranked by importance to me.
    1. Exhaust. Stock exhaust is just too quiet, can’t hear it until 4k rpm. I am not looking for performance improvement by modifying exhaust, I just need beautiful sound, not too loud. (Have a sports bike that is loud enough for neighbours to complain about, and I don’t need CC to have extreme performance, my bike will keep me thrilled when I want to.)
    Option 1(Simple and cheap): I read some posts by R36 owners about removing suitcase or two rear mufflers. Does CC V6 have same exhaust as R36? According to XXX’s post, changing two rear mufflers offer better sound than removing the suitcase?
    Option 2: Aftermarket exhausts. Supersprint/Arqray etc. I don’t want to pay more than $2k for exhaust just for the sound. Is there any aftermarket exhausts that only makes lovely sound and is cheaper than $2k? As I said, don’t need hp improvement, only sound.

    2. R-line bodykit. Never saw any CC with R-line bodykit in Australia. Seem to be very popular in other countries. I do love the R kit which gives CC a more aggressive looking based on its elegance. Is there any way to purchase and install professionally locally besides Ebay? I know if not properly installed, gap would make car look cheap.

    3. Suspension. Love the adjustable suspensions but not happy with the stock suspension height. I reckon one or two inch lower would be the perfect height for CC. Wonder if aftermarket spring or coilover would invalidate the adjustable setting???

    4. Golf R/GTI steering wheel. Not a fan of the stock steering wheel. Do I need VCDS to change code for the new steering wheel?

    5. Hawk ceramic brake pads. Sick of washing the wheels every week. Gotta get this sorted. Heard Hawk is pretty good at performance while producing low dust.

    6. R-line pedals. To give the interior a bit more R look

    7. Intake? Not sure whether should spend $400 + on intake? Heard opposite opinions on aftermarket intakes.

    8. Ambient light and footwell light and interior LED swap. Is it possible to add ambient lighting to my car? Mine comes in brush aluminium finish interior. Will have to activate with VCDS though?

    9. Probably upgrade to RNS510 from RCD 510 when I have some extra cash after the above list are all ticked.

    Any suggestions/advice would be much appreciated.

    Finally, glad to join VW family and hope to see you guys in a group meet.

    Cheers,
    Enix

    3. Suspension. Aftermarket coilovers will definatley make the OEM adjustable setting redundant. Lowering spings will probably cause a fault to appear.

    4. Golf R/GTI steering wheel. Done this in my B7 Passat, really straight forward, took me 7 minutes including coding and a quick test drive.
    The coding needs to be done only if you get a flat bottom MFSW with paddle shift (to enable the paddels).

    6. R-line pedals. I got the R36 pedals, looks much better then the R-Line ones imo. Available online under $200 but I sourced them from a wreaker.

    8. Ambient light and footwell light and interior LED swap. I've installed foot well lights in the front, they are really good, really bright at night and also in parking lots. VCDS is needed to enable the lights and to activate power to the lights via the BCM.

    I'm not sure if I want to do a complete LED swap because I think might not suit the Passat. LEDs look good in sportier cars like the Golf R/GTI/GTD/Sirocco etc..

    Congratulations on this fine buy
    In terms of the exhaust, check some videos on youtube, some CC owners managed to get exhaust sound identical to a C63 AMG, which for me is the finest sound on a car... I just can't remember what exhaust brand it is, I know it is available in Australia.

    Thanks mate for the reply. I will definitely use your posts as a guidance.
    Where did you buy your steering wheels from?

    Cheers

    For the MFSW: carsystems.eu

    Also try searching eBay Europe. I got mine from a seller in Ireland, received within 1 week after paying..

    I hope that helps.

    Check out kw coil overs, some of the range is designed to work with adjustable suspension.
    Rline kit with some lowering and maybe 19" wheels would look amazing. Keen to see what you do

    That's great. Please let us know how you go, my current CC is TDI, but my next one will be a V6. I'm very interested in modified exhausts.
