[@Voss2120]

Volkswagen owners are truly special auto enthusiasts. There just something about a good VW that you just love.

[@dacasman]

+Voss2120 I can't tell if this is an insult or not lol

[@roshanmanilal5315]

Damn right! Culture of automobile starts with a vw especially with young men.My first car was a jetta 2 . I owned a lot of different brand of vehicles due to car sale business ,but my heart and soul always belongs with vw even if it breaks down.

[@boostaddict_]

Roshan Manilal Agreed. I've grown up around VWs and now I'm looking for my first car. Cool things keep popping up but I keep going back to MK2s. One of these days one will pop up for the right price at the right time.

[@nellsschnoor4055]

Especially that bright CEL lol

[@lollol-xp4mc]

Im def not a vw enthusiast but i am a vr6 enthusiast. Ive bought a few vr6 beaters over the past 10 years

[@kadeneck5486]

I bought a vr6 Jetta because of this video and regret nothing

[@Hackbarthja]

kaden Eck wow! Right on!

[@matts1234]

I did too, 15k miles later I still don’t regret it

[@dyllman98]

Just bought one after I watched this video to lmao

One month of ownership so far and I also regret nothing! I love my VR6!

[@jketphanh22]

@@dyllman98 let me know in the long run how it is ! And how many miles you got , I have a tuned g37 coupe but these vr6 sound amazing .. like an 2000 s4 without the turbo

[@deedas]

I hear this every day on my own GLI but I still go on youtube and listen to others every now and then. There is something special about a VR6

[@VachOrd]

one of the best sounding natural aspirated 6 cylinder ever made..there is something about VR6 that push VW lovers stick with it.I m myself VR6 guy own the same car Jetta GLI VR6 24v and its number 1 for me even after 13 years old ...slow or fast i dont care and you know why ??? every single person who know how VR6 does sound will recognize it in fucking mile - That's VR6 !!!!

[@TinyHazeHD]

i agree, i own a vr6 24v 98 golf and it sounds amazing and its surprisingly fast too

[@ieatass4591]

Random question but how has it held up for you guys? I'm looking to get a mkiv Jetta but it's a little on the higher mileage side (135000 miles). Anything to watch out for in particular?

[@TinyHazeHD]

+PumPumCheezPizza69 its definitely a high maintenance car, but totally worth it, mines done 159,000km (have no idea what that is in miles), ive only had to do belts and services so far

[@TinyHazeHD]

+PumPumCheezPizza69 one thing to watch for is they are known for transmission problems

[@Lucky-lm1oh]

I got mine with 86k on the clock and she's about to hit 104k probably tomorrow. the only thing I have had to do the car other than oil changes and plugs is a fuel pump.

[@TheJkuzz]

After years of going back and watching this video i finally bought the same exhaust. Let me tell you, the expense is worth it. These arent the fastest cars in the world but they’re hell of a lot of fun to drive. The exhaust makes it 10x better. If anyone is considered an exhaust for this motor. 15746 from magnaflow is the way to go no doubt. Incredible

[@shouclak]

True! I have the same catback and the sound is incredible. I'm thinking about removing the resonator like in the video. Should I ? :D

[@Shadowjustin9]

Lol I have a 3" straight piped 24v vr6 gti. I love the exhaust note so much that I watch videos about it when I'm not driving it. Owning one of these is fun as hell.

[@marktech101]

man. I have a 24v vr6 gti also, resonator removed but still have mufflers. I do the same thing. Something about the VR6, it's one of the best sounding engines ever.

[@Shadowjustin9]

marktech101 Nice, I have the opposite. No muffers (just tips) but resonated. Agreed man. I've been straight piped for a few months already and still can't get over it

[@kriisgeez]

Exile Productions that's not straight piped

[@ironbloodedmyth1204]

I read you man, just got my 2.5 Magnaflow Custom Exhaust done a couple days ago and the sound is so good i love driving it sounds so beast especially on the Freeway.

Lol

Back in 2023 just to say this is still the best exhaust video on KZbin.

[@BRB914]

I’ve been watching this video for the past 4 years. Never gets old. Car sounds delicious. The tunnel is the best part!

[@enuf_psi6967]

I could not stop giggling with excitement (in a very manly way of course) great video

I'm picking up a 24v jetta in a couple weeks. Your video is getting me more and more stoked for it.

[@sofakingeuro]

I sold my Jetta a few years ago and picked up a B8.5 S4 but no lying I still miss the sound of the VR6. I'm glad I have this video to come back to every once and a while!

I miss my VR6; it's in the shop right now. Can't wait till it comes back home.

Finally an actually PERFECT POV video. this is something I've been looking for for forever! Thanks buddy. And you actually drove it properly😍😘😘

Bruh this sound will forever be insane. Love the VR6 engines so much. Maybe one dayy

[@zelenchuk4900]

this is the best sounding vr6 i've heard in my life

[@luisa.martinez3028]

I drive mine the entire day with the same exhaust and sound And because I dont have enough of him I come back before sleep to get that feeling on driving it

[@TastyGravy1]

Excellent video. Making me hate my 1.8T lol

[@erikshort6140]

Same here haha

[@krisjones0926]

same! sometimes I wish I wouldve gotten a vr6 just for this amazing sound. and my 1.8t it straight from the stock cat back and tuned so it's also loud but not this loud 😂 I just love the obnoxiousness to it lol

[@GyroPyro121212]

TastyGravy1 I love the sound of the VRs, but the 1.8t can sound good too. A 1.8t with the righ exhaust has a very deep rumble. Still not as good as the VR, but pretty good compared to other 4 cylinders.

[@adrianborinsky2989]

Your 1.8T is making me hate my 2.0L

[@HTSWAGGER]

The 1.8 is quicker especially tuned

[@izachbarcalow8072]

I own a MK4 Golf GTI VR6 and I love every single thing about it, this video persuaded me to buy it, truly such an amazing engine😍😍

One of my favorite cars ive ever owned.. put this car on coilovers as well and its a whole different car would reccomend 10/10

VR6 all day! I have a 3.6 CC with Magnaflow mufflers and the suitcase deleted. It's essentially an R36 for America. The perfect sound. Now I got a 2.8 GTI as a project. It's getting magnaflow as well.

I just.....I cant stop listening, got this open on my pc at work, when i come home its on that pc and when i open my phone its playing. My god music to my ears

No other 6cyl engine can compare to this sound. I personally would have liked to have heard it with the resonator still installed but that's just me. Still sounds amazing.

Check out the other videos on my channel, there's another one that I did with the resonator in a while back.

You obviously haven't heard a GTV6...

[@AudiophileTubes]

Best car i've ever owned, and have had many! I still drive my '03 GTI VR6 I purchased new in October 2002! 19 years so far, and very reliable! 6-speed manual, leather interior, and i've been through 5 sets of tires. Garaged and yearly full synthetic oil changes. Still puts a smile on my face, and so much fun to drive! Really a 'drivers car'! Jared, I have a question: have you ever changed the manual transmission oil? I've never changed it in the 19 years i've driven, and it still shifts smoothly and crisply! VW (and the dealerships) keep telling me that changing the transmission oil is not recommended, ever! I have a hard time believing this, since this is not a sealed system (there is a tranny oil drain screw or plug)! Any comments appreciated. Thanks!

[@fuzemusic5135]

You should change it, just to be sure, i've changed mine after 200.000km and it was quite dark but not bad. Just for peace of mind I changed it

[@TheAMGamers]

I have the same exhaust and will try it with no res. This is awesome.

not? What is this motor? Why does it have such a sound

EtaBeta Performance it's actually a VR6, it is basically a inline 6 crossed with a v6. It is more inline 6 than v6 however. It's a unique setup lol

great spot for the mic bc u know when u drive ur ear is right next to the exhaust

I have an 03 vr6 just like the one in the video they sound amazing the only thing I hate is the hesitation on accelerating whether it's caused by abs esp traction control or drive by wire lag I can't figure it out???

Thinking about removing my convertor I've already deleted egr and secondary air pump. Now yours here is it just straight pipe without a muffler???

Yours here is straight pipe without muffler correct???

I thought the 24v came only in a 3.2. Or was that a 3.2 24v head on a 2.8?
