Ever since I have been driving the #vw #golfr mk8 which we rebuilt on the channel I have been a bit underwhelmed. Although the car handled and stopped brilliantly it definitely lacked some drama and sound from the engine and exhaust. In this video we are going to fix that by fitting an exhaust made by @RPMPerformances and also then upgrading the eco tune courtesy of @volkswagenracinguk which will undoubtably transform the driving characteristics of the MK8 Golf R.

I got Raclingline's Stage 1 tune on my 245 Tiguan Allspace (basically the Gti engine) as part of their Beta testing back in November. It now chucks out 339PS and 500Nm and using a rather shonky Android App timed 0-60 in 4.67 & 1/4 mile in a smidge over 13. Chris and the team in Milton Keynes are proper gents, can't wait to get my suspension lowered next and a chance to get the latest tune which see it good for 350PS

You could make a thousand enhancements to the car, some of them perhaps insignificant in their performance gains. Yet, as the owner, deep down you know that the ultimate change lies in swapping the engine for an Audi 5-cylinder TFSI. We all put up a tough front, but in the end, we all give in.

I recently had the Racingline Stage 1 (low torque version) added to my MK8 R, however the turbo turbine blades cracked and destroyed the turbo. Car is only 2 months old from new. Sad times. Luckily Racingline paid for the replacement (as VW wouldn't cover it under warranty due to the tune) and installation. Not sure if it were a faulty part from factory, or it was the tune. Really hesitant to get remapped again.

Too loud and farty for my taste, but each to their own. I prefer the sleeper type of hatch, I don't want everyone turning their heads at me every time I drive past and thinking 'oh god look at that twat'. My car has the standard exhaust, just a sports cat which gives it a slight increase in volume but hardly anything. It still makes 455bhp/634nm.

@Grover91 8 ай бұрын

My thoughts exactly. It doesn't help that modern 4 pots simply sound horrible whatever you do to them.

@geminierica4077 8 ай бұрын

Agreed, cars should sound as loud as they have to for the performance, but not just because you change the catback (which has no difference on the power of an mk8r) to artificially make it louder.. downpipe makes a difference yeah the exhaust doesn't for performance. Upgraded downpipe for the performance with stock exhaust will get some nice sound without being obnoxious.

I swapped my 600cell cat for a sports cat (200cell) on my M140i, and it passed the first MOT, just about scraped through the 2nd, and failed misersably on the 3rd and 4th. They don't last long !!
