So this is my first official video on youtube. I decided to finally post some of the edited footage I have on my MK7. Just a solid POV drive through a few local areas, with parking garages and overpasses. I have a bunch more content hopefully to be posted within the coming weeks.

So what do you think of the pop/bang tune? Does it get annoying after a while? Does it only pop in sport mode? It sounds cool but I'm on the fence.

@bimchers6643 4 жыл бұрын

@IceIceGoalie It’s honestly great. From inside the car it’s not that loud but it’s really loud on the outside. I wouldn’t say it gets annoying because I don’t always drive with it on since it only works in sport or individual with the engine set to sport. I recommend it!!

Stock clutch I assume? haha 370's should be an easy kill with a Stage 2 VII unless the Z has some bolt ons and a tune as well. It sounded pretty stock, so I'm assuming that one went against was stock. Also, should have been 1 gear lower or brake boosted. Stage 2 VII's take off like a banshee if you're sitting at 4000-5200rpm and brake boosting to 20-25lbs. Give it a shot (after you get an upgraded clutch) ;)

I wouldn't be able to stand all of the backfiring if this was a daily driver. I installed a catback with no resonator on 11' STi hatch and yea it sounded great but on the highway damn it was a loud drone.

@bimchers6643 2 жыл бұрын

I agree, I have the ability to shut it off whenever I want. I also got a valved full catback so I can make it sound like stock whenever my head hurts.

Do you experience any clunking sounds when pressing/releasing clutch (like the car wouldnt have very good soundproofing )or any shifting sounds ?

@bimchers6643 2 жыл бұрын

Yeah at times I can hear almost a tough sponge like sound with the clutch especially on start up. I guess it’s normal for this car after reading about it in the forums. Also yes, the sound proofing is way too good because my car is extremely loud with the new exhaust but from the inside it sounds stock.

Hey just saw a comment about your clutch i drive a manual mk7 gti aswell and thats what scares me about going stage 2 is losing my clutch😂 so as long as i dont drive too aggressively you think itll be fine?

@bimchers6643 2 жыл бұрын

Haha! 100% I’ve been fine because gtis have a torque limiter on the manuals so you don’t destroy your clutch. Go for it, you’ll never look back.

Hi, please can you tell me what mods have you done to have this sound ? I mean, it depends only by downpipe and exhaust ? Could I know brand and model of what have you installed ? Thanks

It only has a catted downpipe from CTS. Other than that, a tune, BOV Short throw shifter and springs.

@Kris Yeah, in this video all I had was the CTS high flow catted downpipe into the stock exhaust. It could be the tune from apr that is more aggressive. My new video I installed a x-force catback and the pops are even more ridiculous.

@bimchers6643 4 жыл бұрын

@TGSN _ • still on stock clutch. No slippage except in 4th and up when you try to floor it at 1-3.5k rpm. I’m on the 93 high torque file and if you are just cautious with how much throttle you give it in the higher gears you should be fine.

If you were buying again would you go dsg or mt

@bimchers6643 2 жыл бұрын

Honestly if it was my daily and I had a “weekend car” such as a manual e46 m3 or an f80 m3 I would pick dsg on the gti for daily commutes. I live in Illinois so the traffic is pretty bad. Since it’s my only car manual all day!!! But you can’t go wrong with getting a manual even if it is your daily. It’s so much better to feel “connected” to your car. You will enjoy it much more.
