What did you get in the mail or bring home for your MKVII today?

This sounds like the equivalent of fixing a check engine light with electrical tape lol

True. But the noise persisted even after new rubber was tossed on, it just wasn't as obvious. I'd love to put some deadening down in the wheel wells, but on the GSW getting that trim off is a pain. The window trim clips are the weird hook/stretch kind that you have to push over the frame.

Though with the Damper installed most of the noise is focused on the front of the vehicle now.

ayy, good luck with install, let us know your thoughts. best option for 300$ imo.

I'm fully prepared to hate it. My problem is I don't want something overly loud, but a bit more deep and aggressive. That's why i really didn't want to get a $1k system. Figured $330 was worth trying. Read all your and @Ridebjj's recent feedback. Looks like he had good success putting in the $100 Borla ProXS muffler, will probably try that first if I need to.

Yes. I'm pretty happy with the final result of rev9 + vibrant res + borla. I don't even notice the sound when on the freeway. Previously, the drone when under light load in 6th would annoy me often.

Total price was about $500 in parts and $100ish in labor, iirc. Not bad.

My downpipe already had a res, I'm pretty sure it's the Vibrant UQ one (came that way from MAP). So curious to see how it sounds as is. Guess I'll know tomorrow.

That's really fast. Hell a letter mailed from across town is taking 3 days to get to me since the post office has gone downhill.

That's phenomenal actually. You got that in 3 or 4 days and it probably had to go through customs also.

Catback. Catted downpipe is in the works. I will probably get the first one once it’s ready. View attachment 188667

Bag of miscellaneous hardware for multiple retrofits I have in progress. Pictured is the mount (retainer, per VW) for the DCC control module, and the all important felt strip that held up my order for 2 weeks. I eventually called and asked when my order be ready for pickup. I was told it was this discontinued felt strip causing the delay but they were still trying to source it. They offered to refund me the $1.54 which would mean my order was ready for pickup. I agreed but couldn't get to the dealership until this morning... And my felt strip arrived yesterday, what a relief

Couldn't find any GTI PP rear brakes used anymore, so I decided to just buy new from Germany. I ordered on Wednesday and got it delivered on Saturday.

Next up is to buy Macan front brakes. The sad part is I don't have wheels that will fit over the brakes so I need new wheels too.

It has a Honda K-series in the engine bay.
