Golf mk7 / Coding out Fog lights
« Last post by EB2019 on Today at 14:50 »Hi
Is it possible to code out front fog lights with OBD11? or VCDS? Thinking about the TCR front bumper holes where the fog lights are and if its possible to retro fit.

Golf mk8 / Which Milltek Exhaust System to Install with Sports CAT?
« Last post by sdGT on Today at 01:50 »Hi all. I'll be going up to stage 2 on my GTI CS shortly, including a sports CAT downpipe. However, I can't decide which back to go for...
I can either have Milltek's OPF back exhaust, or their OPF back RACE exhaust. It's my understanding the performance is the same, it's just the noise that differs.
Litchfield told me that the race version may be too loud/not create a nice sound, along with the sports CAT downpipe, and Milltek's normal OPF back would be the better option.
Does anyone have any experience with this that can advise please? Price is very similar. Race version is around £150 less I believe, so nothing material. Cheers

Golf mk7 / Re: Axle back exhaust mk7

But if down the line you do a res delete it will drone unless you get an Helmholtz anti drone res delete, even then you will notice some at 60-70mph and it will be significantly louder than stock also but much deeper and crisper.

« Last post by Peter_booker2003 on 24 April 2024, 20:46 »Having gone down a similar route recently on my TCR I was looking for something OEM+ and after fitting a Remus I have been really happy with the noise when you a both on it and also just cruising. I loved the stock sound but wanted something louder when I was really enjoying the car.
I have just got back from a 200 mile trip down the motorway and the Remus Is no louder than the stock exhaust, and only comes alive when you are on it. A perfect mix if you ask me as a golf needs to be classless for every use.
I have been looking for an Akrapovic Exhaust for ages and have now found one so will be taking the Remus off and selling it. I wanted £700 but would take £600 if that was of interest. It is on a MK7.5 with an OPF so not sure how that would fit but I think the non-Opf downpipe is just longer so would fit the same I think? Sure someone on here will be able to confirm.

Golf mk7 / Axle back exhaust mk7
« Last post by Henners on 24 April 2024, 18:11 »Hi, first time posting. Found similar posts when searching but nothing specific..
I have a MK7 Golf GTI PP DSG 2016. I bent my exhaust pipe while doing a rather enthusiastic three point turn. Brilliant. After getting my mechanic to look at it, he says the rear muffler and pipes need replacing. I believe this is called an Axle Back exhaust modification. He phoned around and it looks like a stock GTI muffler and pipes are around the £600 mark, which isn't far off a sports exhaust. So then I got thinking I might as well go for something which sounds a bit better.
I've heard of Milltek, Remus and a few others, or there is a Clubsport S muffler. I'm looking for a sportier more entertaining exhaust note but mainly while getting on it at higher revs, as opposed to loud all the time. I also don't want droning on the motorway or to annoy the neighbours with aggressive loud cold starts early in the morning. Aside from sitting in each setup in person, can anyone recommend which might be my best option forward, while trying to keep as close as possible to the £600 mark of stock?
I plan to go Revo stage 1 at some point so it needs to be future proof for that.
From my research it seems a Clubsport S muffler box and pipes would do the job - a better noise when accelerating hard, a bit more idle burble, but not a full expensive cat back system or res delete. As I understand, an axleback replacement does not affect the flow of gases enough to require any form of ECU remap. Does this all sound about right or am I wildly off?
Thanks
