Downpipe/Exhaust 2.0 TSi

[Large Fruit]

If you bothered to have a look on VWVortex you would see plenty of Stage 3s on Golfs and S3s, why does it have to be on a Tiguan?

You need to settle down a bit chum and realise that some people know better than you do and just because they say what you don't want to hear doesn't mean it's not true.

Easy tiger, apologies if i sounded brash, it's the interwebs that makes everyone sound hostile. I was just saying 210kw to toughly 240kw sounds like a lot of power increase to me. You obviously feel 30kw is 'not much gain'?

Re the stage 3 i wanted to hear from Tiguan owners who have done it. It read like you were saying there were stage 3 Tiguan's out there (we are on a tiguan forum!) so i was keen to find out where. I don't see anything wrong with asking?

What price do you have on a jig manufactured stainless steel mandrel Tiguan 3" downpipe with 200 cell metal cat that you are comparing to ours?

Oh, P.S. we have not released any prices yet.

Just trying to understand your post.....

Im not sure how much a down pipe is but my buddy just had one made for a 180sx (stainless 3" dump for $310)

A 180sx wouldn't have twin oxygen sensors and have to bend around a 4Mo system though..........
You can't really compare parts for a jap import to parts for a Vdub as there is an awful lot more tech involved in a Vdub part.

The APR pipe also allows you to load Stage 2 software (if you have the intake fitted) and covers some of the cost of R&D into the upgrades.

Wouldn't any 3" downpipe allow you to load the APR stage 2 software? Making the assumption they get similar air flow....

I don't know.
I assume not since they wouldn't be able to justify the product claims if you are using parts that they have not tested.

I also do not know if the downpipe is 3" all the way through so there are a number of variables that need to be accounted for.

Maybe Guy can shed some light on this for us.

Looks like a sinlge 3" to me...
