SOUND COMPARISON | Rev9 Catback vs CTS Turbo Downpipe Rev9 Catback | Which Sounds Better?
Any idea what the new belt size is with the CTS pulley?? I bought a stock one and didn’t think about the size!
Still waiting on the seal and beaver rebuild.... Since this is a Russian designed engine can it even be imported right now due to sanctions?
Great video but why the helmet haha
Mk6 GTI already has major heatsoak issues, im not sure the look of rally lights is going to help your turbo temperatures very much blocking a huge amount of air heading into the intercooler and radiator
cool vid!
Looks clean. Congrats on the new job and sponsor!
As of July, shows for $159.00, on sale, not $115.00 (which I as a bargain)...
Amazing how German engineering can take something so simple and combined with a crop duster
Pero corre?
Looking at elsa like this makes me think she can be a fun trial car not fully off road of course handling capabilities. However some black mud flaps, rook rack with tire in roof basket, some meatier tires or even all terrain if possible, fender flares.
So theoretically would these coil overs fit on a 2.5 mk6?
what kind of load does it carry
Those wheels are the ones that look better in a corrado classic
How are these taillights holding up? Any issues with condensation or the sealing? I’ve gotten some advise to silicone seal them, wondering what you guys think
They're holding up well so far! Not a bad idea to still seal them but we've had no issues!
I wish I could bounce limiter dsg won’t let me🥲
Nvm i have found out that you can if you turn off Traction
I have to do that too to free rev.
Thank you for your video. Would you be able to show us what went wrong in the broken latch?
Where is the electrical connector physically?
I think I twisted it this way. lollllllllllll helpful!
No, not yet!
Maybe ya, with the new fog lamps it will prob look better matching the paint color
Why were you on your tip-toes when you could have just pulled the hatch down? My lock broke tonight. That's why I'm here. Thank you!
The big fogs bug me more personally but knowing VA (i am a resident) you probably need them due to deer in your area
Is the rear diffuser stock?
"Active" aero means it is able to be controlled/position or shape altered at will. Electric Pneumatic Hydraulic actuators etc. This isn't active, it's just flexing a bit from the airflow.
That black stuff on the sump plug is ferrous metal. Oil filters filter to ~40 micron: Similar to a fine human hair Thus whatever is on the sump plug is smaller than 40 microns. Wear is mainly caused by particles between 2~22 microns... which is exactly what a magnet picks up. A lot of engines generate a lot more metal than you have on your sump plug. A magnetic sump plug is a great way to keep an eye on wear: If there's a lot of metal you have a problem. If there isn't much metal the engine is healthy. A magnetic sump plug will pick up ~50% of circulating metal. Ferrous metal is one of the major contaminants in oil so removing so much of it from circulation is a good idea. :-)
Thanks for the link … i did not know i wanted to hear it , until I saw the link. A great plan …. powerful.
How did you get the sequential to work. Mine don't even light up? Awesome car and videos.
Thank you! Unfortunately, I didn't have to troubleshoot the lights. They just worked. I'm sure the other plethora of videos on these same lights will have someone who knows the answer!
Bout to do it
Send it.
that's the gayest thing i've seen this week
Which engine oil do you use?
I usually use Motul, but recently switched over to Valvoline! Both have been great so far!
what mud guards are those?
Rokblokz. You want em?f I just took them off.
@@TheParkingLotMechanic Yes!!
I'll have to find a fitment chart actually, I have a B7 Passat
Thanks! This had my boot fixed in under 30 mins. I didn't pull my cover all the way off either fwiw.
Thanks for posting this. I’ve had my GTI for over ten years and this was the first time I had to change a rear brake light. Getting the bulb housing loose to replace bulb was a challenge.
Can you install the led light bar in the grille the same way? Or do we need to change the grille to the one with light bar?
Mcjuggernuggets working on a car
Reporting for duty 🫡
The motor on the latch doesn’t seem to make a noise when I press the button in the key fob. Can i just pull the hatch door to open it ??
The car slowly but quickly became a bit rice imo
Just wait until I add a massive front lip! 🤯
REALLY wanna add some rally lights to my 2012’ white Golf R 2 door……love the way yours looks, who makes the mounts and switch plate?!?! Couldn’t catch what you said cause I’m hearing impaired.
Made things about 9000 times harder not pulling the battery lol.
I like to do that to myself.
Im considering the dv+ from gfb for my 2020 290 cupra. You’re gti with the spacer sounds nice though bro so enjoy 🤙🏻
Is the rev9 on its own to loud to daily drive? Debating whether i should just do a muffler delete to get more sound or just order a rev9
The Rev9 with just the res is not too loud. The downpipe really woke it up. I daily drove it without the downpipe for a while and had no complaints.
Its quiet actually, just save money and delete your resonator … you need a downpipe so the car can be loud
People don’t follow what this guy did. Stay in your car and drive up very slowly. You will feel when your car hits the end of the ramps.
My IE intake did the same thing.
Max verstappen letsgooo
How's that URO manifold running 6 months in? Any estimate on the mileage you've put it through so far? I've been pretty curious how the different brands (URO, Bremmen, 1A Auto, etc) run vs OEM.
It’s not even holding it or touching the battery at that.
I am well aware and it's been fixed XD
Maybe you should fix your mind instead of the car.
Is it just me or Do you guys also don't trust someone?That is sponsored by the product that they're reviewing...
How hard would it be to shine a light on the engine bay so we can see what guy are doing? How hard would it be to not have music playing over what you are saying? How hard would it be to have a camera close up of what you are actually doing?
Really man? Your life depends is depending on a 2-ton trolly jack which depends on a tiny ball-bearing plug holding the hydraulic pressure. You probably spent more time setting up the go-pro than the safety equipment. Throw a wheel under the car at least. Did any of your other friends say "hey dude, is this safe"?
Me to bro 🤟
