What exhaust system & remap to go for?

[mkviken]

I went for the Remus exhaust system and couldn't be happier.

Produces a lovely sound and some proven hp gains.

Remap wise I've gone for the Racingline OEM+ map, purchased last year taking advantage of the Black Friday offer. Yet to be installed as I want to upgrade the clutch first. Might go for a twincooler as well. 

How much was the Racingline remap?

Do they need to see the car or is it remote like the bluefin?

Thanks

Where did you get your Remus from, I've just had a browse and they sound/look good. Can't find many places that sell them?

Also i noticed they do different set ups with regards to silencers, have you got a back box and no centre box?

I purchased both the Racingline map and exhaust both from Ben @ Reimans Godstone.

Remus offer several different tips, which are simply bolted on. I've got the regular rolled stainless steel tips, but plan to purchase the carbon fibre one later this year. The Remus exhaust is a cat back and included a replacement front silencer which I swapped out for a straight pipe. I plan to put the silencer back on when and if I eventually opt for a downpipe and stage 2 map.

I purchased the Racingline OEM+ map from Ben @ Riemans Godstone in the black Friday sale last year, need to dig out the invoice but it was around £450 from memory.

I went with Racingline as Ben is only 2 minutes down the road from my office. I've also had the map tweaked for switchable 'pops and crackles'. My original map and can be easily re-installed for when my car goes back to VW for a service. Normally I wouldn't bother going back to the main dealer for a service (prefer to use a specialist) but I got two free services when I bought the car.

But you haven't had the map installed yet? So you wouldn't know of what the dealer might see when the car goes into VW as 'stock'?

It is a shame that the Racing Line stuff isn't approved like Ford/Mountune upgrades.

Go and speak with Awesome GTI if you're in Manchester.  They're APR but have all the gear and a great workshop for fitting.

Apr maids are about £700 which is mental


Does a map get rid of the throttle pedal lag on the mk7?

OP is in Southampton!

Depending how far South you are, Regal in Southampton are my local guys for VW stuff. They can map with APR and fit pretty much any hardware you want. Dont think they do Revo though, might need to pop up to London for SCC or AMD as you mentioned.

Thanks, I'm half hour from Soton so they sound ideal, do you get all your servicing done there too?

Akrapovic is the only exhaust I'd consider. Cost a few quid though.

Unicorn Developmens get a few shouts on various forums. Considerably cheaper than APR and Revo too.

I will do once my warranty runs out (if I keep the car that long though)

Decent guys and have loads of time to chat through stuff if you want. They will dyno before and after the map to show you the results.
