Catless or Catted Downpipe for VW MK7 GTI/R?

Looking to get some nicer sound coming out the back end of my mk7.5 GTI. I don't plan on getting a tune until the warranty is done, and the car is at 10,000KM. Would you suggest just getting a CBE or just a downpipe to start? just specifically for sound. Also, would a DP increase the chance of an engine / turbo problem arising? Don't wanna blow my turbo and then get f*cked on warranty cause of a DP.

So do you need a tune for a catted downpipes. For ny emissions testing

I got a catted for my camaro. The catted is a little quieter which for me isn’t bad cause I already have a muffler delete and a careless downpipe for le would be a bit obnoxiously loud. With the catted downpipe I won’t get in cabin fuel smell and pass emissions. All of these factors made me go with catted there was no point in going Catless for me as you would only gain an extra 2 hp at most with a catless and those extra 2 hp aren’t worth considering you’ll smell like gasoline every time you drive your car and having emission inspection problems

Hold up, do you still get a check engine with a catted downpipe ? Or do you not for some reason?

Been modding cars for years (mainly 4 cylinder turbos) and like others have already said in this thread the difference between a catted APR (for example sake) down pipe and a catless APR down pipe when it comes to horsepower is literally 2 or if your lucky 3 HP gain, it’s not noticeable. So in summary it’s not worth the toxic fumes and plus I personally like the exhaust tone better as well...oh and I like passing inspection every year with no issues too.

Went with a catless dp on my mk6 cause Florida has no regulations

Would you know if I can pass emissions with an APR down pipe if I live in Illinois, Specifically in Chicago.

If u remove the cats will it make the car deeper or more raspier? I have a Mercedes c250 2011 v6 2.5

If I have a aftermarket catted downpipe, let's say Unitronic, will I pass the inspection? I'm in NYC by the way. Or do you know any brand catted pipe that will pass the NYC inspection with a tune, thank you !

I know for my 335 just having a cat less downpipe would let me tune much more than the stock one. Is this true for the gti or is it a less restrictive pipe than the 335?

To whom it may concern;
1. If you remove your cats, you have a good chance of giving yourself cancer. Get a high flow cat. Something to think about if you plan on having kids. How would you feel if you lost a parent? Those that have need not reply, you get it.
2. or B. depending on whether you are numerical or alphabetical, loud four cylinders don't sound all that good. If you need to make noise to be noticed for some reason, get a V8 or above.
Also, if you Know your car smells like shit, that means you don't give a shit about other people which makes you an ass hole.
Haters... Begin now.

So catless or Not 😬 ?

Thank you i was going to buy a civic that was catless watched this vid i dont think im ganna do it anymore

Catless DP= more drone
Catted DP= not much drone if any.

Thank you needed this video 🙌🏾

No emissions inspections here in Florida bro I love it!

This is for any one need info I got a 2027 gti with a borla exhaust what's a good catted down pipe that will fit the exhaust? Was going to get one on cobb but it fits there exhaust system only i believe .

Anyone know the spoiler extension on the car on the right of the thumb nail?

Thanks, Very helpful! What catted down pipe would you recommend to get the biggest "BANG" for the buck?

I have a catless dp rn and I can’t stand the fumes and dizziness anymore I’m putting my stock cat back on until I can get a high flow one

Catless downpipe doesn't restrict any exhaust gases at all, but the gases smell like shit. Hmmm it makes sense, you are smelling the cancerous shit you are putting on the air. I would go catted because it won't sound like a broken pipe.

Amazing brother. I love this!

I’m trying to get a downpipe but I don’t wanna tune bc of my warranty :( could I still run it ? And not hurt anything? Thanks Ik this is a old video but i finally got my gti :)

Catless.

Do they stink?

No brainer, catless is for selfish people who don't mind subjecting others to their toxic fumes.

I've got a Mk6 GTI. It came with a hi flow cat and it sounded great but I couldn't pass emissions for some reason so I went stock and I felt the difference immediately. It's been a year! But today I'm going to have my High flow cat reinstalled

Fuck it I'm going catless

Midtown tunnel in the beginning!

Cat downpipe sounds way healthier and sounds like more power vs catless sounds like shit

In the thumbnail, on the red gti, what rims are those??

ok.. so im going catless :)

Do i need to stage 2 or tune if im going catless downpipe? Atm i have oem dp with awe track edition. Idk if i should go catted or catless? And what kinds of downpipe should match my awe track edition exhaust.

i went catless.... and i already wanna book a time to put a high flow catt in. I like driving with my windows down on nice days.

Wow, click bait. You've said and proven nothing.

"The sound of the people" 👌

The fumes are the best part. What kind of car guy doesn’t like that sweet petrol incense

can you do a muffler delete & resonator delete & also get a downpipe is that bad for your engine?

Thanks I got 2010 cc definitely helped with my decision

downpipes ads for 30-50 hp

When I did my down pipe and intake my boost raised a little

what wing does the grey golf (right) have installed in the watermark?

Do I need a tune when I get a catless downpipe ?

So should I tune first and then do catted down pipe? What are my chances of CEL with catted?

I’m thinking of getting a cts downpipe idk tho any opinions on it?
