What are those rims and tires you got on?

[@yerpster]

build dreams what wheel converters you using. got a set of bmw bbs sitting that i think would look cool on the 2.5

[@Garrett_James]

Appreciate it! They’re just bmw hubcaps I poked into some jnc005 reps. Need to get some real bbs, on the look out currently.

[@crispy-k]

0:30 if you listen closely, this sounds close to a v10 a weird note to it or just with less power xD Which is kinda funny considering it's a 5 cylinder. Sounds good, not fan of loud and slow cars but i guess this is ok, and the sound is good.

[@Garrett_James]

Appreciate it! I completely understand as I have plenty of days where my exhaust gets the best of me and I get a little annoyed. It’s much quicker now than it was in the video and will be boosted this summer to make up for all of this noise.

[@pitsa9838]

I think that’s the point bud

[@zr9757]

​ @Garrett James I've always said since I was a little boy.....if your straight piped 07k is so loud at 3k rpm that you can't even hear the turbo spool and you still got 4.5k more to go, you're having a fun time. Only thing I wish was if this engine could actually cold start one time without sounding like it won't make it down the block, but that's probably skill issue. It's fine after a sensor figures out it's awake. It's literally just "The Infamous e46 Cold Start Problem", but on a VW. Also, what was the 0-60mph on yours? or 5/10-60mph. Mine's an 08 mk5, I got it in at 5 seconds flat from a good launch and then stopped there because sometimes it too much for me. I could tune it to be quicker, but it beats 95% of things on the road anyways. If this engine could actually have an internal engine failure (so many stories with this car on why it's indestructible) , then I've got BIG plans for it, but for now, it's going to be my 200,000 miles 5 second car.

[@spencer6974]

what exhaust system is that? I’m tryna run dual exhaust tips on mine but idk if a GTI delete out will work with the stock 2.5 hangers

[@Garrett_James]

Worked perfectly fine with my 2.5. Rev9 catback

[@spencer6974]

thanks bro that’s the same one I was looking at 🙏🏻

[@spencer6974]

yo so I got the rev 9 catback for mine and I love it but i’ve been trying to find a rear valence that fits for the dual pipes and nothing seems to work even a gti oem one

[@Garrett_James]

Fr? Did you try one? What keeps it from fitting?

[@JorgeOrtiz-gr3zc]

My doesn’t fart like that but sounds exactly the same in first second and third 2.5

[@theodorelucas9354]

I got an MK5 rabbit, and I have to ask, when you went catless, did you see a noticeable power difference?

[@Garrett_James]

Didn’t really... sound difference is all. But if you look online, usp quotes a “solid gain of 10-15 whp and 10-15 ft/lbs of torque”

I’m fully straight piped atm howd you achieve this noise straight piped is to raspy IMO you think throwing on a vibrant res and a performance muffler would clean it up?

[@Garrett_James]

I would throw on a resonator or two. I have just one small bottleneck one

chmabered muffler for high pitch scream

I’ve ran a muffler on top of this and it sounded heavenly

[@ninadolfgarcia2005]

What tune you running? If on stock, sounds mean ,maybe a res to drone it down . Still badass lil 5cyl

Thank you 🙏, I’m running iE’s stage 1 for now. Am hoping to go stage 2 and 02q swap this summer. Someday when I’m bored I’ll get myself to slap on another resonator.

@@Garrett_James is o2q swap the 6 speed transmission? Can the stock 5 speed not handle any power

[@Garrett_James]

I bet it’s a blast. Just got my ie manifold and am putting it on tonight

[@Garrett_James]

The ratios in the 02q are far better than the tin can 5 speed. A lot of people have had problems with high mileage and the 5 speed and from what I’ve heard, the 5 speeds thrown in these cars are throw away transmissions. I’ve got a 02q being shipped to me right now which I’m excited about.

Assuming this is manual... Manual or DSG/Auto? Either one. AWESOME BUILD MAN

02q six speed swapped from the 0a4 five speed, thanks for the love!

Rev9 with catless test pipe

[@kalebb8551]

what’s the set up on the engine? and what stage tune is it? also i’m not sure if you said before but what’s the exhaust set up? i want my car to sound exactly like this

[@Garrett_James]

In this video it's just stage 1 from Integrated Engineering, and with that; lightweight crankpulley, ecs short shifter, injen short ram intake, catless testpipe to rev9 catback (full straightpipe to small bottleneck resonator). Since then I've six speed swapped and adopted stage 2

[@gottawatch1932]

Bro not kidding , not bias , (maybe a little) I own this car, 2012 2.5 MK6- But this is the best sounding exhaust clip I’ve ever heard and n KZbin. I’ve done the Ingen CAI, and the Awe Tuning Catback exhaust. How do I go to this sound? Please let me know what I need to do.

[@Garrett_James]

Hahaha appreciate it greatly! This is when I had a mk5 2.5 header (since then I’ve swapped in the mk6 more tubular header, my car being 2010 go the mk5 header for whatever reason), 2.5” catless testpipe to rev9 2.5” catback. It’s quite loud.

[@alidasser4053]

explain exactly what you did to the exhaust i need this asap

What wheels are those

[@00061]

What type of exhaust system is that

[@Garrett_James]

Rev9

[@polandadam98]

I like it but it's just a big too raspy I prefer the sound of audi and volvo 5 cyl

🤤🤤🤤

[@Garrett_James]

No you

[@lincolnmarshall376]

I’ve got a 2.5 and was wondering if the Rev9 can be bolted on or needs to be welded?

[@Garrett_James]

Bolted on, you a 2.5” inside diameter exhaust clamp and cut accordingly, the pipes will sleeve to one another, with the oem size being slightly small diameter.

[@lincolnmarshall376]

⁠@@Garrett_James Do you remember how long of a pipe you need to fit, and where you got it from?

[@Garrett_James]

@lincolnmarshall376 oreilys. 2.5” inside diameter. 18” sections.

[@lincolnmarshall376]

⁠@@Garrett_JamesDid you get two 18” sections?

Does it vibrate super hard or no?

[@Garrett_James]

I have poly engine, trans and subframe mounts so yes, but they’ve worn in to where it’s not so bad. Vibration is still there though.

Ok. Sooooo I have a Mk6 golf. I want it to be completely straight piped and have the iE tune. How could I get the best crackle and pops and everything? If you’d know Dude your golf is the reason why I’m keeping my Mk6 because holy good god it sounds 🥵 straight piped

[@maydayy65]

Also what exit for the exhaust did you do? It looks like a GTI style exit ( or it is )

[@maydayy65]

One more thing. ( I have a lot of questions 😂😭 ) I don’t know if you have the stage 1 or stage 2 iE tune. But we’re you able to hear the difference in pops and crackles? I’m not going to go with stage 2 right away and I wanna keep the engine stock for now. With the flash tool hooked up to the computer were you able to change how aggressive the sound was?

[@Garrett_James]

You can’t change the sound and the pops and crackles just come with. Not sure if there’s a difference to the crackles between stage 1 and 2. I have been stage 1 with a catless test pipe which allows the pops to be brought out. I’ve got stage 2 coming this week so we’ll see

[@Garrett_James]

@@maydayy65 to get back to you, I never experience an increase in crackles. If anything it pops like crazy up in the power band with stage 2. Lower rpms it doesn’t pop so much.
