Mk6 GTI Borla S-Type Exhaust - Revs, Install, Acceleration

[@johndej]

Nice looking and sounding! I'd never heard of DSG farts before so I had to look that up, but I love the term.

[@shouldigetit]

haha it is a funny term but a nice sound, thank you John!

[@Zoeonblvd]

I just joined the VW cult and looking to get great sounds! Got a 2010 Gti mk6! I just got set on the borla exhaust .

[@shouldigetit]

Welcome to the family Donald! You’re gonna love it man, make sure to upshift with your foot planted on the throttle around 5500rpm the sound is wicked.

[@mikef3300]

Just bought a 2013 Golf R and am looking at the borla exhaust for it. Like how easy the install was on the GTI. Looks great and I like that it’s not much louder when normal driving

[@shouldigetit]

Nice! Congrats on the new car. The Golf R install looks pretty straightforward as well www.borla.com/140498.pdf

[@hungrychowhound11612]

Very nice and simple. I was looking for a set up like this for my 13 gti. This seems like what I'm looking for. Thanks.

[@shouldigetit]

Boom! Well there you go. Would really appreciate you ordering through the amazon link in the description! That’s the best thank you and it doesn’t cost you a penny extra :)

[@hungrychowhound11612]

Not a problem. I do have another question for you. Ha e you tuned your car or was it still stock when you put this system on? I'm running stock that's why. My wife said as long as it's not to loud it's ok. She like the way your car sounded.

[@shouldigetit]

@@hungrychowhound11612 I do have a Cobb Accessport on my car running Stage 1 tune that's included.

[@shouldigetit]

In this video however my car did NOT have a tune. Take a look at my channel for a newer video of the Borla on my car.

[@hungrychowhound11612]

@@shouldigetit how do you like the Cobb access port. I'd like to know about it. I've looked at different upgrades, but the Cobb caught my eye. Especially because it has a way to make adjustments and you get an interface that looks like a phone. So it seems easy enough. Without having to put the car down for any reason other to change the oil. I'm looking at keeping our car stock, somewhat. It's fun to drive and versatile. Its fun to drive and looks good doing it. I got the dsg trans in it and I'm hoping to get the dsg fart I keep hearing about. For know you have me a few good pointers on what I can do and what to look for. Thanks. Right now its winter here in the Windy city do I'm going to have to wait just a bit for the weather to break, before starting all this fun stuff. I'll keep you posted on how things are going, and I'll subscribe to keep up on how things are going with you. Thanks again.

[@alpareja3144]

Nice man! I just bought my borla exhaust coming in Friday, am stage 2 stratified so I highly suggest going that route. If you don’t already have a dog bone mount and pendulum mount I highly suggest 034 motor sports. Rear sway bar (25mm or less for a daily), down pipe if you don’t have that also, mine has one catalytic converter and it would pop with the stock exhaust and no resonator. If you ever have questions lmk and welcome to the dub family!

[@shouldigetit]

Thank you for the warm welcome Alvaro, congrats on your new exhaust! Sounds like tune and downpipe are next on my list :) got the mounts and sway bar already. Got any videos of your exhaust popping?

[@alpareja3144]

Yeah dude I’ve got a video of it popping, not great quality but I love the sound. I can send you a better one once I install this exhaust this weekend!

[@shouldigetit]

@@alpareja3144 Sick! Yeah where's the video at? DM it to me on IG? @BenRevzinPhotography

[@legacy5782]

@@alpareja3144 what downpipe do you have?

[@siheard4206]

With a stage 1 remap you don't need to change any hardware, but obviously any changes will improve performance. That's on the EU Gti tho. Us version might be different at stock. A new intake, decat downpipe, etc at this early stage. But

[@shouldigetit]

Do you think it’ll do exhaust pops with a base Stage 1 map from a Cobb AP?

[@romero1337]

if you want it to be louder, a tune and full turboback exhaust setup will really open it up.

[@shouldigetit]

Definitely! Might get a high-flow catted downpipe sometime next year. Thank you for the tip and I appreciate you watching the video Romero!

[@romero1337]

@@shouldigetit No problem! I personally have a Unitronic Turboback on my MK6 GTI with Stage 2 tune and was much more satisfied with the tone.

[@chipsahoy2158]

Hey! Great video man! I was wondering if you by chance knew the size of the exhaust itself rather than just the tips? Because I was looking for a 3” exhaust and maybe 4” tips but I really want 3” inch tubing throughout. Thanks!

[@shouldigetit]

Hey thank you! The piping is 2.5” which then splits into two 2” pipes and has 4” tips.

[@johnny_casual]

is there a difference between this set and just buying the bolts muffler and tips separately and having a shop to the pipe work?

[@kenny9088]

Hello guys. I just purchased a 2011 gti with 83k miles. Should i be worried about the chain tensioner? I have no history on the car. It runs and pulls good. No check engine light, no funny noises either. Have you guys changed the tensioner ? Thanks for the help. I really love this car and am looking forward to swapping the catback. Thanks for the video, sounds amazing. Oh yeah my has a 6spd manual and boy is it fun

[@shouldigetit]

Congrats on your new car Kenny! I haven't done any work in regards to the tensioner and I'm at 65k miles. So thankfully I haven't had to deal with it but I'm not the best person to ask. If you want some ideas for other mods check out my recent video: kzbin.info/www/bejne/hqGwiXaMebesidE

Hey brother, where did you get those tail lights?

[@SniperPaladin]

What clamp did you use at the cat, or did you reuse the original

[@Joker-jk4zm]

Hey man great vid. Quick question, do you have a stock downpipe? If not did you need a reducer to fit? I'm running an apr downpipe and want to get ahead of the game.

[@shouldigetit]

Thanks! I’m running a stock downpipe still.

[@Joker-jk4zm]

@@shouldigetit ok cool. Research time :D

[@david.m5099]

​@@Joker-jk4zm did you ever find out if you need a reducer for the apr downpipe? Im looking at buying this exaust and also wanted a downpipe to install with it but im not sure which diwnpipe would work best with it

[@david.m5099]

@@Joker-jk4zm thanks haha, hopefully my exaust doesnt drone too much

[@KaizenGaijin]

You think the borla is different than the cobb? Because i want to do a cobb tune eventually but if it will affect the tuning in a negative way i rather go with the cobb catback than the borla, even though the borla does sound way better

[@shouldigetit]

Update for everyone! I just got my Cobb AP and the time has been great with the Borla exhaust. Running stage 1+ and the car feels much quicker also sounds better. Deeper upshift farts and small burbles during reviving

[@shouldigetit]

Revving**

[@adanramirez159]

Nice exhaust I might get one myself but should I leave my stock down pipe alone?

[@shouldigetit]

Yup! I still have the stock downpipe and enjoy the sound, check out my channel I made a full review of this exhaust in a newer video with more sound clips

[@zkeysmedia256]

just got my mk6 looking for an exhaust without a lot of drone noise , would you recommend this one ?

[@shouldigetit]

Definitely! Really been enjoying it for the month I've had it on so far, did a 600 mile road trip and didn't experience any drone. Congrats on your new car!

[@sopranee1]

what exhaust clamp did you use to connect the OEM pipe to the borla cat-back??

[@shouldigetit]

Sorry Jordan this was so long ago that I don’t remember! I think it may have been on there already. -Ben

[@sopranee1]

@@shouldigetit yea no problem thanks though just have the same catback and an exhaust leak and don’t know what clamp to get since it’s 2.5 inch to the oem 60mm

[@HarryDoesGamez]

Nice, this is SB. would you recommend the shop you went to? How much is labor there?

[@shouldigetit]

Yes I would recommend him! If I remember correctly Harrison it was $150 for the install.

[@MrMoist-oy3uq]

Hey I’m looking to buy an exhaust for my gti, but I do not want to risk installing it wrong even tho it’s an “easy” install. How much did the labor cost to install it?

[@shouldigetit]

Hey thanks for watching! I think it was $150. Call around shops in your local area. Should be an hour of labor.

[@matemarijan3795]

You didn't do anything to the downpipe or catalyst? sounds amazing

[@shouldigetit]

Didn't do anything at all to them, all stock! Thanks! If you buy, please use my amazon link in the description :)

[@MrWaheedulHaque]

I have a stock mk6 golf 1.4 tsi dsg, if i was to do a backbox delete and tune it would i be able to get dsg farts

[@shouldigetit]

I wouldn't recommend doing that but yes you probably could get enough back pressure from it to create the farts although they're louder from the outside of the car than inside because of the sound deadening material VW uses in the Golf and GTI.

[@MrWaheedulHaque]

@@shouldigetit which part dont u recommend the backbox delete or tune thanks

[@peteragban3606]

I’m guessing you live in california, has the exhaust given you any trouble with regulations/cops??

[@shouldigetit]

You guess correctly. No issues at all!

[@shouldigetit]

Passes smog just fine too

[@RaleighMK6]

I don’t know if you’ll see this since it’s so late but I have a simple question, how did you get your car to fart so much?

[@shouldigetit]

Hahahaha happy new year Parker! I have a whole video about that. Search for DSG fart on my channel.

[@RaleighMK6]

@@shouldigetit happy new year to you too! Thanks for the info!

[@jokez7296]

Hi I have 2012 GT TSI is it possible to change the exhaust to be like the GTI?

[@shouldigetit]

I don't believe so as your exhaust has 1 or 2 outlets on the same side correct? You may be able to have a shop custom fabricate it for you but it will need a new diffuser to fit the dual side Borla exhaust

[@xaviervelasquez6882]

Is it possible to install this on a mk5 gti? I’m trying to find a medium sound like this and not aggressive like straight or downpipe especially in California:(

[@shouldigetit]

Hey Xavier the exhaust in this video / on my car won't fit your MK5 but this one should www.borla.com/products/gti_catback_exhaust_stype_part__140248.html probably sounds fairly similar in terms of volume!

Yes!

[@shouldigetit]

Woooot woot! Thanks for watching fam! :)

[@jlafs14]

so is that a resonator or a muffler?

[@shouldigetit]

It's both in the kit

[@FrankA-973]

You don’t need. New cat back. Just get a aftermarket down pipe and the stock muffler comes alive! I just did it on my MK7 GTI. And it has a converter on it. No drone and sounds better then this Borla.

[@shouldigetit]

Isn't it really loud with an aftermarket down pipe? Also what state are you in? Tough to get past smog in CA with a downpipe.

[@FrankA-973]

Should I Get It Reviews in NJ we don’t have smog test just normal emissions testing. It will pass but u need to do a O2 sensor spacer in the down pipe. It’s a very Euro sound with the factory exhaust and DP. Get a IE downpipe it fits like factory. 45 minutes to install it. You will love it.

[@XxSofaKingDopexX]

Can you tell me ways I can get a this car, I've found one for 10k but I have no credit and im just really wanting to get my own car and these are so reliable and the one I found only has 100k miles too. Are there certain banks I need to go to that will accept no credit loans or what do I do? Just don't want to lose the opportunity on this car!

[@shouldigetit]

Do NOT get this car if you can't afford it. My first car was a 1999 Lexus ES300. Reliable is unfortunately not a common word amongst GTI owners. Mine has 65k miles and I already know the DSG service will not be cheap next year. Start building your credit by getting a credit card and putting a small monthly payment on it such as a Spotify or Netflix subscription.

[@shouldigetit]

It may sound harsh but I want to be helpful!

[@XxSofaKingDopexX]

@@shouldigetit I was thinking that and just using it for gas. Are the gti's not reliable or is the service shitty on them?

[@shouldigetit]

I wouldn’t say they’re not reliable, mines been running like an ox for almost two years now but check engine lights from random non issues can be frequent and if you do need a repair or upgrade they aren’t the cheapest.

[@waynemoyer7827]

How about doing a throttle body spacer.

Should I Get It Reviews forget that, is it a 2.0L

[@dha588]

Does it feel faster ?

[@shouldigetit]

Due to the sound and having more sensory experience yes it does feel faster according to the “butt dyno” but is it actually faster? Probably not, maybe you’d be a tiny bit faster than a stock GTI if you went side by side. Like a half car length

[@spanchbobspanchbob4742]

It's an awful quality exhaust. I had this one on my mk6. It does make huge drone sound and, very important, car feels slower and weaker with this exhaust ( no joke, I would prove it on dyno if a had one). So sorry mate, should have opt for other brands )

[@shouldigetit]

What other mods did you have? Sounds like you may have had an exhaust leak somewhere. I've had mine on for 2 months now, over 1,000 miles and have not experienced "huge drone."
