Hi guys took delivery of my mk5 gti a week ago and really enjoying it so far plus the dsg makes life so much easier with the hectic traffic in Auckland. I just want to know more or less what a bolt on dp made up from a local exhaust shop will cost and who would you recommend . I won't be doing the cat back that will stay stock.

Thanks  :)

Don't know who to recommend as such, but would it not be cheaper to buy a ready made one either from tradeMe, overseas or from members on here such as GLIDN?

Are you looking at going to a stage 2 tune?

You need a Stage 2 tune as well or you will throw a CEL.

Check my build thread for a bit of info on what I used.

Thanks for the reply guys. I don't want to do sw at all. On my last three VAG cars I never picked up cel error at all by just doing the dp. I basically want get rid of that horrible oem system free up a few ponies and dsg fart through the gears. If i even get to 60km/h in this traffic I'm hauling lol.

You could just do the precat delete then. That'll get you a little bit of what you're after and it's free

you want to get rid of the dsg fart ?

???    :o    :laugh:

I would prefer to do the full dp up until the centre where it connects the the oem cat back system. I don't want to get rid of the dsg fart but to make more audible for some fun while driving.

al info I can find says once you replace the DP the CEL will pop up, unless you either mess around with O2 spacers or tune it

I have a downpipe ready to be fitted in case anyone wants a downpipe for their mk5/6

Thanks

One could also fit a minicat (cat fooler) to avoid cel light as a safe measure without doing sw.

If this is still around in a few months time I will contact you. How many paper monies is the dp going for?

Parts don't hang around man.
This I'm actually selling on behalf. Due to the owner being in some financial troubles. So trying to help the kid out.

What downpipe is it Hennie and does it require a stage 2 tune otherwise you get a CEL?

To add my two cents.

1. Yes you can add a DP without a tune. But you will need a spacer for the 2nd o2 sensor. This does not avoid a CEL in all cases.
2. If the DP has a highflow cat, this willl still likely throw a CEL due to extra airflow.
3. These engines have 2 o2 sensors (pre and post cat). Not all VAG engines have this, hence why the OP may have been fine with other cars.
4. Without a Stage 2 tune the car wont be optimised for the extra airflow and therefore the benefits of the DP wont be anywhere near what it would be with a stage 2 tune.

Well said JPK.

It's a CTS branded downpipe.
Yes as per JPK's information. Ideally to allow the car to run optimally and efficiently Stage 2 software will be required additional to downpipe being installed.

Anyone that wants the DP? Please send me a PM.
