Integrated Engineering Stage 2 Power Kit + AWE Tuning Track Exhaust for Volkswagen 2.5L 5cyl

[@scirockalot8v]

best sounding 2.5 ever.

[@ElectricLarry__]

It definitely is

[@patricknelson]

RS3 and TT RS also have a 2.5L 5cyl engine which sound pretty good too 😊

[@rars0n]

@@patricknelson It's the same engine.

[@patricknelson]

@@rars0n Yep, they share the same drivetrain too.

[@NFSZay]

You think so?

[@CatonsvilleCentralRwy]

Huge fan of VW's 2.0T here, but I can only imagine if VW had gone for an upgraded turbo version of the 2.5l for the golf R....would have been pretty sick.

[@MotoMedicine904]

Woody Ridenour more like they should've done a 3.2 VR6 Turbo for the Golf R

[@oplex7687]

They do it’s called a ttrs 😢

[@daevid21]

That’s called a TTRS or a Audi Rs3 they are monsters

[@rileyhance9770]

vw does make one. its called the audi rs3

[@elitexsniper4131]

Audi rights wont allow them to use it in the golf r they have tried more than once for a request

[@chiil034]

I have this same car - however, stock with lowered Eibach springs. Still fun to drive. Love my I5 5-speed.

[@oswaldohernandez6241]

chiil how are the springs? And what size wheel you using? Im interested in lowering my mk6 jetta 2.5 but I want something that wont scrape or give out in a short time,

[@jboesz6569]

This video persuaded me to put a similar setup on my wagon. Neuspeed intake first, AWE Touring exhaust second, & finally the IE stage 2 power kit last week. No regrets & exactly what it needed.

[@sandcrackerz]

How’s reliability? I have the same setup and am considering adding the stage 2 IE to my 09 rabbit

[@jboesz6569]

@@sandcrackerz It hasn’t been a problem with a 85 mile commute & 130k on the odo.

Sounds sick af. VW commited a crime when they didn't add a turbo to this engine

[@initialyeet3951]

@@maxsjoberg788no? Volvo and Audi’s turbo 5s sound just as good if not better than the NA VW I5 because they are smoother and less raspy.

Dam that sounds like my uncles Audi 5000 . I had no idea VW's with 2.5s are 5 cyl, i may have to get one, i love that sound.

Sounds so good man 👍🏽.

Exquisite!

[@Anon_Fox]

Are you on the 2.5 vw group on facebook? this thing is crazy!

[@NikPreusser]

Elevated Existence yep, I was on there. I sold the car back in February though.

[@117jel]

Wish my mk6 2.5 was manual. sounds great!

[@zachariahz9832]

How happy are you with the tune? Was the difference very noticeable?

[@FoxyRainbowz]

Why do i want my passat to sound like this now?

[@gillisization]

I have the exact same setup haha!

[@dvddobson]

thanks mate

[@MellowAintYello]

Is there another website for cheaper exhausts? $700 is pricey for me

[@Banana_Suit_Up]

Just go custom from a reliable shop. I had the suitcase removed but left the res and cat.

[@Pepepepepepenacho]

This thing sounds awesome. Do you have a turbo in it and which one if so? Thank you!

[@guidedprismg.e.w.p5673]

Did you notice decreased reliability from the tune and headers? I'm interested in getting the Stage 2 IE tune, but as its my daily I dont want to to have many issues

[@NikPreusser]

GuidedPrism [G.E.W.P] no, not at all. Still kickin and running perfectly after 50k miles on the tune.

[@natedetailscars]

Are you revving it all the way out with your IE tune?

[@ElectricLarry__]

That SOB sounds like the BMW m5 v10

[@CarsAndCoffeeKings]

Sounds just like my 2.5L Beetle

[@Therealdealoneill97]

no it does not. this is way better do not lie . sound similar to my jetta but there are many differences. I'm not knockin urs either

Question, is that the air ride blowing off like that? lol cause in my mind I'm like " this shit sounds like it has a tubro, but I know it don't."

[@bobos245]

Jonathan Labonte Intake induction noise.

[@imad0786]

What was the whistle knows a supercharged or turbo?

[@Quokkauncle]

did you ever take this to a track day?

[@NikPreusser]

No, I never did. It probably would not have faired well. It was on stock brakes/pads. With upgraded brakes and a rear sway bar it would’ve been okay though.

[@Quokkauncle]

@@NikPreusser oh ok Thanks for your input. Definitely gonna go for bigger brakes and struts with sway bars for sure. It does seem pretty nimble, handling wise, as it has the same rear suspension as the GLI.

[@deecord]

did you forget the usp pipe in the description? also did the ie power upgrade change the exhaust tone at all?

[@NikPreusser]

I did not. I don't have an aftermarket header/downpipe/cat on the car. All of the exhaust is factory with the exception of the cat-back. The power kit did make a pretty noticeable difference though.

[@deecord]

damn dude thought it was catless, sounds like mine. Still has the stock cats?

[@NikPreusser]

+Deec0rd yep, still has the stock cats. Factory exhaust from the block to the cat-back.

[@deecord]

Damnnnn man, thats nice. With just my AWE track I didn't get any of the crackling while coasting till the testpipe came in.

[@haydenfigs]

Have the exact same model wagon -and I was wondering where you got the exhaust I can’t seem to find anyone that sells the 2.5 wagon exhausts in that year or did you just buy a standard golf exhaust?

[@NikPreusser]

Hayden Fig no, the Sportwagen needs a longer exhaust. If you call AWE tuning, they have specific Sportwagen exhausts; that’s who I bought mine from.

[@Notorious_NRD]

As a fellow wagon owner. What do you have up front for headers and the downpipe? Is it stock or did you change it. I have the same exhaust on mine with obx header and downpipe combo

[@mk3euro]

Hello this was oem manual or you make a swap.

[@nicholasarguelles8173]

What kind of power does this make?

[@joelroca7814]

Do you do a stage 2 clutch with the stage 2 IE?

[@NikPreusser]

I didn’t need to, the stock clutch can handle the power of the IE stage 2 tune.

[@weissman1994]

I wish my mk6 was a manual! Would you recommend the touring exhaust by AWE for the auto transmission? I am contemplating it

[@owenlaue4497]

Is there a real noticable difference with the stage two kit from ie? Ive been looking into getting it for my car, just want to make sure before i spend the money

[@NikPreusser]

Definitely. Don't expect to walk a GTI, but it definitely makes the car more enjoyable to drive. I actually drive a stage 2 Audi S3 right now and miss my Stage 2 wagon from time to time. It's a different kind of fun.

[@dvddobson]

Very nice. I picked up a 09 2.5 l but I have the base auto 6spd tranny. Can't seem to find an ecu tune so I can run that manifold....any ideas

[@NikPreusser]

Sadly no, the automatic transmission is not very mod-friendly for the 2.5L.

[@dubzga]

What do the Porsche oil tank cap and expansion tank caps do?

[@NikPreusser]

They were only there for looks.

[@timharvey7028]

What kind of power to the wheels?

[@daevid21]

So really all I need is an intake Manifold full exhaust, stage 2 tune and a clutch/flywheel and I can also make over 209whp?

[@NikPreusser]

David Stevenson unlikely. I don’t think there are any naturally aspirated 2.5s making over 200whp with just those modifications. The low compression that makes these motors so reliable also really limits their power output. Most cars with the setup you’re mentioning make around 185-195whp. I believe the most powerful “bolt-on” 2.5L n/a made around 225whp, but it was running custom exhaust headers, ITBs, and E85.

[@daevid21]

Is your sport wagon not an NA 2.5? Don’t you make like 219?

[@NikPreusser]

David Stevenson it is, but 219bhp. Probably only 185-190hp at the wheels.

[@stockprerunner]

does it have a lot of drone on the highway??

[@NikPreusser]

Colby it had quite a bit of drone. It wasn’t unbearable, but got annoying on really long drives (2+ hours).

[@stockprerunner]

Nik Preusser oh okay. i’m looking in mabye getting a golf later in the future so wanted to know how bad it really is. how’s the fuel economy with all the mods on it?

[@NikPreusser]

Colby same, if not better. I could get 40mpg highway on a regular basis. City was around 28.

[@stockprerunner]

Nik Preusser damn that’s really good. definitely going to look into a golf now.. that fuel economy is way better than my 2.4i volvo s40.. it gets like 17...

@@NikPreusser how in the hell were you managing to get 40 mpg on the highway and 28 in the city? the best i've managed to get yet (and that was only driving on the highway) was 23 mpg, usually i get around 21, and the worst i got (driving in montreal) was 16 mpg
