At first I was very hesitant to the idea of someone coming on board in the videos. I was skeptical that it would ruin the flow of things and how sort of "raw" Evan's videos are, but after seeing Drew come on, and see how smart and how he is able to do pretty much everything. I can say 100% Evan did a great job in selecting the right person. Drew is awesome.

I really miss the installation footage, would be stocked to see you and Drew work on the methanol Supra!

its a different feeling when you open youtube and its evan video at the top of my feedback 🙌🏽🙌🏽🙌🏽

Finally a VW I actually like! Incredible build Evan, knocked it out the park as always!

Drew is the man! So happy you found someone w so much knowledge to help you around!

Drew build at some point please! I would love to see his ideal car.

As a former gti owner i am in love whit the build and that sound keep it going

Love the build. And the exhaust is looking amazing. (Shout out to Drew spec. ) Today’s advice hit me a little different. Thank you Evan Shanks. Your positivity creativity and amazing energy always resonates and elevates in every episode

Yo, I need to know what Drew did before he started helping around the Shank Shack, man's got skills

Evan you did so good on this gti, it’s definitely one of the cleanest I’ve seen in a while and at first I was hesitant in the wheels but seeing out the shop in the sun you did amazing work on this thing!! KEEP UP THE GOOD WORK BROTHA

Im glad I came across this channel, seeing how much work you put Into your build and the words of advice and how genuine you seem. Such great content!

As a GTI owner I absolutely love the exhaust

Great video timing and love the advice at the end of the videos. Have a great day as well Evan!

First time viewing this channel.. I was curious about the way the VW exhaust system sounds... It is totally SICK!.. You actually nailed it... Became a Subscriber as of today's video! Great looking VW!

Love the daily advice man. The people around you matter.

LOVE it!! pulling off your drive looked like a scene from Forza. 4th best car on the channel - black scooby, amg merc, yellow evo, then this!! Top work champ.

Puts the exhaust sounds in the beginning 🥲😡

I literally was watching a old video a reloaded your page and boom perfect for my break love jt

Another great exhaust for the GTI is taking out the resonator and keeping the stock muffler! With the upgraded downpipe. A lot less drone than taking out the muffler

@Evan Shanks, That song that was playing during the welding clip went HARD

Love it. Hoping you have a new hood strut coming. Seen that vice grip

Imagine even and drew make their own exhaust company for vw lol

Love the build so far. 🔥

Not normally a fan of the sound of a gti but I enjoy this one

Drew killed it on the exhaust sounds great!

dangggg shit sounds perfect

Huge VAG fan bro, it’s nice for u to show other than jdm cars, been whatching ur videos since u had the red subaru

Can't say enough.. Drew is a 🐐!!!!!! what a legend!!!🔥🔥🔥

Love how it sounds

Drew is the beast men super humble 🤙🏼

I've seen a lot of GTI's in my city and they always sound so annoying loud but I love the way yours sounds! I'm so glad someone found out how to make it sound nice without being way too loud. Keep up the great work!

Sounds amazing!

The best GTI I have seen ever, sounds great👌

You know I miss the old sti blog vids from back then. That was one of the classics

Evan's checking off the GTI build checklist 😂

Opening KZfaq to a new Evan shanks video during lunch is the definition of bliss

Even has the pops 🔥

Sounds really good for sure

Love the color honestly!😍

Gti looks and sounds so much better, stoked you did this build, I’d say the turbo civic vs the gti would be a good match to see.

Still enjoy the videos, but as a long time subscriber and viewer i really mis the actual install footage. Thats one of the things that made your channel really stand out from the mainstream. Keep up the good work and take my comment however you want it 😜

Evan complaining about straight piped cars*flash back to the jzz30 and all his dailys and projects before being straight pipes * 😂😂😂

Sheeeesh that thing sounds perfect

Love the quotes bro💯🤙🤙🔥🔥

Man it would be so sick to meet Evan been a fan for a while also love the builds man keep up the great work

GTI is turning out amazing! I hope I get picked! I used to have a 2016 GTI!! What brand shirt do you use for your merch?? I got one from you recently and it fits PERFECTLY! Tight around the arms and a little loose everywhere else!

sounds amazing ! Drew has so much talent! DruWrks Customs

makes me like the mk7s more 🤤

Goodmorning Evan

Love your build bro

The idol sounds like a cat purring

Sounds and looks Amazing Loving it. ...

I love drew and his laugh

So sick man

Tommy fyeah is punching his computer at “full custom”

watching Evan shanks Instead of working cause it’s Evan shanks

Custom drew spec axle back exhaust nice

Those wheels look insane

We love you drew!

Those wheels are insane

makes me miss mine:( mk7 k04, dw injectors, custom titanium exhaust, and slew of other things. they are such fun cars!

Id like to see more of the SLASH style merch...specifically slash trucker caps

4 inch tips are exactly what I have on my gti, def looks a lot better than 3’s

God that gti is so clean

Exactly the way we like them in south africa,GTI's sound like that here down south. Wow wish I could here it in person

Keep it up fam

Okay sounding, but to much tractor for me! What i did to my custom turbo back GTI Clubsport MK7 was bought Brittish Non Res Cobra Sport Catback. Then later bought the Californian Invidia Highflow downpipe with race/sport cat. That combo is the best iv ever heard if you like a bassey sound that still dosent drone much. The only one that may be better or on same level sound quality wise in my op, is a guy using CTS Turbo dp (no cat) with IPE catback (guessing non res). Those two are the best souding exhaust i ever heard for the GTI/R. And if you must have a system from same brand, get HG Motorsports EGO-X from Germany. Also crazy good sounding but just downpipe cost more than my full custom turbo back system! Check how the GTI Clubsport sounds on the driving video on my channel! 👍

Oooh baby she sounds good

Downpipe & De Res is the perfect setup.

That sounds goood. Now I miss my GTI more 😭

super long time viewer never miss a video! i have never entered in any giveaway you have done though. im a mk4 gti owner and this car and this build even the color is my dream car. i had to go on 5 3 and get some stuff would be a life changer to win good luck to everyone who entered and good luck to me! love u evan keep working :)

Yep

The wheels are dope

Im not even joking when i say this but this is my favourite golf...not overdone or anything, just perfect

Every youtuber needs a Drew, lol. He does it all

i love you evan

Those wheels are beautiful

Cleanest gti I’ve ever seen

Omg this makes me miss my Stage 2 GTI DSG

Hey Evan I think a classic VW fan boy look would be bbs wheels.

I love your videos!

Not gonna lie thats a clean gti, sounds good. The crackles just to much for me but sounds good

That’s nice

Thank you Evan for finally playing some decent music in your videos!

This VW building is going Awesome. I want you to Race the Evo 3 !

finally a good sounding gti!!!!!!!

I’m early I joined this vid in 2 min after upload great Evan I like it when u go ham

So is the sound only like that because of the turbo? Or would it be the same sound if I did this as well for my is20 mk7? Thanks love your videos Evan!

I just picked up an Audi A3 with this engine platform and need a DrewSpec exhaust now. Take my money

Man, I really like Drew!

Evan What about if you are always alone? I dont have friends, and im always feeling alone. Some times i just go to a night drive and stop near the ocean to lay down and watch the stars while i dream about my future, but always lonely... GTI is my favorite car, congrats it looks awesome bro .... Big hug and thanks for the video!

Bro I Wait for the burnouts 😂

I wish I could just buy that golf… wow 🤩

Notification gang bring back the sti hatch ❤️

its purring like a cat

The downshift 😍😍

U made the first vw chopper.👍 🤣🤣

Good judgement putting the mini mufflers on

Yoo turn the wheel all the way to the right and to the left when the car is on and it should reset those lights. Common thing after you unplug the battery.
