Best MK6 GTI Intake, Downpipe and Exhaust CTS Turbo Intake ARM Motorsports Downpipe and REV9 exhaust

[@nicholaskanagie8092]

That whistle may actually be a bad diverter valve. I upgraded to a gfb dv+ and it fixed my issue. 15min install.

[@BriGuy503]

Ya that's all it ended up being. Bought the gfb dv+ and fixed it

[@fluflammer1]

Really? I got this intake and got a Dv+ I still hear the whistle/ screech and it sounds bad it cost me like $120 I think

[@Rooki3pete]

Crazy!! I literally just order both the DP and same exact exhaust, and came across your video sounds good

[@BriGuy503]

Sweet! You'll love this setup

[@Rooki3pete]

@@BriGuy503 hey I got a question I finally received all my exhaust and DP now I went with the arms 2.5 DP with the. Rev9 no muffler exhaust my question is how do you connect the both?

[@Rooki3pete]

Correction 3” arms DP

[@jesussalgado7210]

This sounds really good! I just ordered the same cat back exhaust can’t wait to get it installed.

[@BriGuy503]

Nice! I love it!

[@kilagambino]

I have the same exact setup bro I love it. Same exhaust same intake and downpipe. Now you need the pops and bang tune

[@BriGuy503]

Yea gonna get a tune after I install charge pipes and front mount intercooler. Then I should have pretty much all bolt ons installed and won't have to pay for another tune. Love this set up!

[@estebanmadera3860]

i have the exact same set up as you! love everything about it

[@BriGuy503]

Hells ya!

[@danjim7056]

Dang man, GTI and yxz? Clearly you are a man of class. I have both of these as well.

[@BriGuy503]

Good taste lol

[@psiturbo]

I wonder if the ECM is tuned for catless downpipe. IMO the Cobb tune is weak, you should try iE.

[@BriGuy503]

At the time it was Cobb stage 1. Currently Stage 2 full bolt on with Stratified tune. Love it and it's been great for the last year

[@gaberivera2012]

Nice set up working on the exhaust on my 2012 GLI I have an intake and ARM down pipe as well. Just trying to find right setup after the down pipe

[@shivonerampersad2305]

I think that whistle comes from the dv, I had the same whistle when I upgraded my intake and did a unitronic dv relocation with a new dv and the whistle went away.

[@BriGuy503]

Yea thats what I've read. I have a new dv just haven't installed it yet. If it does fix my whistle I'll let everyone know in a video. Hope it does lol

Good job 👍🏼 on the video 📸 I have a mk6 as well I have a resonator and muffler delete with stock down pipe. Plan to get a pops and crackle tune

Hello there nice video..Question the Rev9 it's 2.5 or 3 inch.?? Thanks

[@BriGuy503]

Thank you! The exhaust is 2.5

[@JacksonGTI]

I’m debating the 2.5 inch rev 9 or the 3 inch rev9 exhaust

[@kiss718able]

Question.. being a catless Downpipe did it throw up any codes? As I was told it would hence catted is the way

[@BriGuy503]

It does. But u can run a spacer on the o2 censor to trick it. Or turn it off with a tune, like I did. My tuner turned off any lights I had.

[@kiss718able]

And your tune is from stratified correct? And if I did do a catted downpipe what do u think would be the result?? Sorry for the questioning. I’m subscribed and following in your foot steps.. Also if u tune off the codes will it be able to still pass emissions?

[@BriGuy503]

@@kiss718able Ya stratified tune. It might be best to go with a catted dp if you're worried about emissions. I think it would be the safe choice. Depending on your state it could make it difficult to pass emissions.

[@blakebauer5023]

Ok so i have had the rev9 exhaust and found this video and it made me bite the bullet on a arm downpipe just curious did you use o2 sensor spacers, and if so which sensor/sensors.

[@BriGuy503]

I didn't have to use a spacer for mine. Mine is tuned and had the check engine light disable for that o2 fault. Some people do end up having to use the space though. I'd install it and see what happens. Then install one if u need to.

How do u mate the 3 inch dp to the 2.5 exhaust? I’m running a rev9 and looking to buy the arm catless too

[@BriGuy503]

The downpipe comes with a reducer from 3" to 2.5" www.armmotorsports.com/collections/vw/products/mk6-gti-downpipe?sca_ref=950522.YlboXYrbmB

[@cameronpuljak6586]

Did you feel a slight power increase after everything was put on?

[@BriGuy503]

Ya for sure. Especially after getting a tune. That tied everything together and woke the car up

[@nbn103]

question on how the car ran till pro tuned? i have a unitronic intake with arm downpipe and rev9 catback . Cobb says it will need a pro tune because of intake! but will the car run with OTS map as i dont have any tuners near me

[@BriGuy503]

Car runs fine. The protune definitely opens it up night and day power. I ran the ots tune for a few months before I got tuned and it ran fine

[@nbn103]

Will the car run okay without a tune is my next question?

[@BriGuy503]

Yea i ran mine without a tune for about a month. Ran perfectly fine

[@nbn103]

Cool. Good to know. It's my kids car and he is chomping at the bit to get exhaust down while I gather money for the IE stage 2 set up

[@richiecurto9786]

Question on the install: how did the Downpipe mate up to the cat? Was there any custom modifications required? I really like the sound of this setup and I’m going to buy it!

[@BriGuy503]

Everything fit great. I didn't have to modify anything.

[@thomasmk6]

@@BriGuy503 im pretty sure the whistle is a boost leak

Yea turned out to be a bad diverter valve. Replaced it with a go fast bits dv+ and problem solved

@miguelecheverry6700 I don't know the gains but it was night and day difference. Well worth it. Tune cost like $120. But u also have to have the Cobb access port to be tuned. That was like $550. I think you can get a combo deal from Stratified for both for like $600

Can you do a down pipe with no tune? New with VW?

[@BriGuy503]

Yea but it will throw codes. Better to have a tune.

[@kaleblewis241]

Hey @Briguy503 I’ve got the exact same model gti as you! I’m doing the exact same mods as you, (I have as of Rn) a catless downpipe and catback exhaust, my check engine light is on, as I’ve ran the catless downpipe for about 4 months now, but I was just wondering would it bad if I ran an intake on top of the setup I’ve got at the moment? It’s getting tuned around Christmas time.

[@BriGuy503]

I think it would be fine

[@richiecurto9786]

Your check engine light is on because your downpipe is catless
