APR Stage 1+ Mk5 GTI - Cobra Sport Resonated Catback Exhaust Sound

[@GlanceHD]

That loud air sound blowing thru exhaust means ur downpipe gtta go aftermarket its creatin too much back pressure cant make turbo last longer

[@Drpepperkiller10]

How smooth has the DSG been?

[@austinh77]

Much better after the DSG tune. Downshifts aren’t as lazy as stock and the clutch can hold the extra power of stage 1 better. I had some slipping after going stage 1 without the DSG tune.

[@Drpepperkiller10]

@@austinh77 Interesting! How was the DSG before any modifications? I ask because it is not the buttery smooth feeling from a newer gen. Very lazy downshifts that don't grab well and has a tad of shudder when letting off from stops.

@@austinh77 A DSG tech said it's fine. idk.

[@austinh77]

@@Drpepperkiller10 With the car completely stock the DSG was still shuddery and had lazy downshifts like you describe. Pretty normal for the Mk5s since it's the first generation DSG. I've driven a Mk6 GTI once and while it's basically the same platform, the DSG was noticeably smoother than the Mk5.

@@austinh77 huh! interesting. did the tune smooth out the upshifts too?
