Re: Any HP increase from the Techtonics exhaust? (Meats00GLX)
You can definetly feel a difference up top. Probably work 5 or so hp.

I'm just trying to decide on the best thing to do with my tax return. And that would be: struts, exhaust, or chip. Someone posted a DIY CAI install so that's why I'm no longer considering getting a AEM.

True, the sound is tempting...

Oh well if you put it like that, Get the chip. My friend has a 95 VR6 and bought the cat back TT exhaust 4 months ago and is just now getting his GIAC chip next week. He wishes he would have done them in reverse.

quote:[HR][/HR]if you do the supercharger in your sig. you will definitely gain from a 2.5" exhaust and it comes with it's own filter element.
if you don't i would chip it.
there is so much body roll from the vr6, much more than the 1.8t or 2.0 i would definitely do shocks and springs.
if you only want the sound of the exhaust you can cut out your suit case muffler.[HR][/HR]
The SC is only for the 2.0 engine. I've got springs, but I'm thinking of waiting for shocks until spring, when there's no snow on the ground. Now, what was that last part about a suit case?

It's the resonator (or mid-muffler) that is behind the cat, but before your muffler. You can get a TDI mid pipe which comes w/o the suitcase. I just took mine to a shop, had them cut it out and weld in a piece of pipe. (cost $20) With the stock muffler, the VR6 sounds rougher/meaner/more obnoxious... almost like a motorcycle or something. Not deep enough for me though... I'm still trying to decide what I want to do with it.

my bad! i was thinking of the new z engineering super charger, i did not pay attention well enough, i guess it's wishful thinking about FI...
look under your car, the stock exhaust has a big resonator called a "suitcase" sometimes...

Re: Any HP increase from the Techtonics exhaust? (Bundaho)
ok now i'm TT experienced,
i've posted this a few times but,
the TT 2.5" ss exhaust gave me the BEST seat of the pants power gains of all the exhaust i've tried.
i drove it back to back with the milltek 2.5" exhaust on my car and the TT had more power, and i personally love the sound.
i've had on my car the neuspeed, neuspeed rmoved resonator, the 2.75" milltek, the 2.5" milltek. the tt with hidden tips
(loud drone), and now the TT with custom straight through dtm tip (drones gone) and 4 motion valence...

i am finally satisfied! for now.
