How did I miss your thread?
Noooo shame on me! I like this already.
When is the straight six going in?

[LeemansJ]

Hmmmm do not tempt me.
I am trying to keep this stock, LoL.

Are these bolt-ons ? They do seem like it to be honest.
The cooler would be nice behind that mask that I installed, hehe

Yes sir specially developed for the 1.6 tdi
You need an ECU tune to be able to run the turbo etc.

It's a stage 3 tuningkit will get you around 175bhp and 365Nm torque.

So. Some more news.

Ordered these from Rota Wheels UK, that hooked me up with an awesome deal



in Flat Black 9,5x18 5x100 Et38

Will try to run them with some 225.40.18s, and see where we go from there.

Also ordered these





Oh my dear fenders, we are gonna have a great time, LoL

Cheers

Totally love this and your Golf!
Mad respect, man. Following both for sure.

Thank you sir. Be sure to follow my Audi RS4PRA project as well

oh yeah didnt even think about the smaller motor size, cant wait to see the downpipe you guys make.

Yeah, I cant wait either

Love the details you do on your builds, would like to see it lower, but that's my taste, not yours. Cheers!

Yeah, I would too, not sure the suspension can go any lower than that.
I will try to go after the wheel installation, hehe

Thank you

To be honest, I did think about it, a quick youtube research though on straight pipes on the 1,6TDi soon made me change my mind. It does not sound good by any means. The displacement surely does not help it sound good, does it. However, I dont like the idea of the dpf up front, and I do want to do something about it, sooner or later. Again, I have not found something bolt-on so custom will be the way again.

So much for that warrantly of the new car, LoL

[hinrichs]

surprised you didnt just straight pipe it being a tdi, looks so much better with the dual tips out back now

[mgpdoc]

So today I had a day off, from work, and thought, why not.
Why not upgrade my exhaust system I mean. LoL.

Put the car on the ramp





So the OEM A1 1.6 TDi system, has no middle resonator as you can see.
At first I was to change only the backbox, but then, I thought, F*ck it, I will go cat-back exhaust. OEM piping size is about 50mm (about 2inch).

I thought we should go 63mm (2,5inch) but then I said again, F*ck it, let's go 76mm (3inch), cause who knows what engine this chassis might end up carrying in the future, LoL.

So then, that was decided, transition from OEM one to the new one, under the driver's seat, and then, in the future, do the front section as well.
While we cut the piping there, I thought, let's do a sound test just for fun.
And then, was the time I lost my smile, LoL.

I mean, seriously, ZERO DIFFERENCE, whatsoever, from oem condition.
Yeah, no sound gains if you dont remove the front section I guess. I mean I am new to TDi world, but seriously, WTF ?

Nevermind I thought, I would continue with the fabrication of the exhaust, make it proper, and look nice, and in the future, exhaust will be completed sometime I guess.

First we had to make the transition from one to another



With some love, it happened, and then tig-welded



I would also use one v-band connection to remove the backbox when and if needed for cleaning etc etc



My Russian welder took in charge



Fittings made



Backbox almost ready





V-Band will go there nicely



Placement on car



In situ



Artsy shot



This was while test-fitting the pipes



And some final shots with everything in place

First from underneath









And then from the back









I love how it came out, and it is exactly what I was going for

Hope you liked it too

Cheers everyone

That's how I always feel about my threads too

But I'm just as guilty as everyone else because I read but hardly ever post.

I really love your car though and read it every time there's an update

I myself do that sometimes too. Read but forget to post, especially when tired from work.
But I try to change that

Cheers, and thanks

Mike

Yeah I do not know what they were thinking either, maybe some leftover hubs from the old days, maybe the same Polo platform, I dont know.

Either way it is better for me, more options out there, for sure. Only thing is that i could change wheels among my other two cars, but oh well.

Cheers
