There are approved (at least here in Germany) LED bulbs made by Osram and Phillips that shouldn't give you any headaches.

Another great video 🙌 very informative and interesting

Thank you!

Is the dyno done with RON 99? Mine is remapped on RON 98, good 205/17 tires and bilstein B14. Deleted the sound actuator and added sound dampening in de boot. No optical mods. Philips sells LED H4 that are TüV approved in germany for the UP. The only mod I would like is lowering seat position and a sports seat.

[@RicsCars]

Yeah RON 99. Some better seats would make a huge difference unfortunately they’re not a cheap upgrade

[@adrobbo84]

What make and size of tyres did you put on your gti? Thanks

[@RicsCars]

Michelin pilot sport 5, 205 40 r17. There are a few other great tryers in that size too

Question, if you find your road+ noisy and say the full res is the one you would pick rather. Then why do this mod at all? Is there a performance gain? Or only the look of the big end tip?

[@RicsCars]

I really liked the Road + exhaust it was just a little too noisy when cruising down the motorway. I would recommend the resonated version as it will still be a improvement over the original with not so much drone compared with the Road +. I doubt there would be much difference in performance and yeah the big tail pipe does look pretty cool too. It really depends what your looking for from an exhaust. hope this answers your question.
