My Tiguan APR tuned Stage 1

Do you have a video of your Muffler Delete? I can do a video, it has slight more base, if I floor it I get a pop between 1st and 2nd gear

Here is the video i took.
Mine has a lot deeper note and pops on upshift and downshift for the first 3 gears when under load.

I get an advert which I cant get rid of !!! I cant see it, I will try later, did the exhaust delete make much difference?

Will try to host it elsewhere for you later.
You have to close the advert (button down the bottom) to show the video i believe.

Muffler delete only made any real difference to the audio side of things.
It did remove about 8kg of mufffler though so that helps in performnance a little bit.

Just to throw another 2-bobs worth in:
When i had my tune done, i guess i was mildly disappointed. I put it down to that same phenomenon as when everyone tells you how great a movie is: "You've gotta see this movie, it's the best, funniest, scariest, heart warmingest movie EVER MADE!!!!!" Then you go see it & it was ok, pretty good, but would have been heaps better if you didn't have that preconception.
Anyways, power is up by a third, torque is UP by more. The way i enjoy driving with the APR tune is to roll the power on using a progressive approach on the accelerator, rather than just flooring it. Keep the rev's over say 2300 & roll 'em on from there...

Hmm sounds strange. Perhaps your car has other mechanical issues, because APR is the best tune money can buy, should normally give you HUGE power gains. I'd take your car into Volkswagen. APR tune is also undetectable so you don't have to worry about VW finding out your car is flashed. Let them run some logs on your car.

I was led to believe that the tune eased in as the car "learnt" the new settings over a 100kays or so rather than right from the tune itself.

Does sound like something is amiss. specially for $1500

Misbehaving, that's all I can see.

WTF is all this crap about? If you want to have a pissing contest go elsewhere.

They can piss where they want.
