This is the newly released 245 (DLBA engine code) HJS 3" high flow downpipe for the 2017/2018 Octavia VRS 245 and Golf GTI 245 Performance Pack This is the only downpipe that can be fitted to a standard car, or one tuned with a tuning box (JB4 for example) that wont thrrow up an emissions engine management light, it's been specifically designed to meet the strict Euro 6C emissions standard these cars run and has dual high flow, high quality HJS catalysts. Bought in August for 1550 Euros from Germany (invoice included) for my 2018 Octavia VRS 245, it's been removed from my car today having covered just 2500 miles so is as good as new, with warranty remaining and a good saving off the cheapest 1495 Euro (plus shipping) retail price it's availble for online currently. https://www.turboperformance.shop/abgastechnik/downpipes-kats/hjs-downpipes/skoda/octavia/octavia-iii-rs/45621/hjs-downpipe-skoda-octavia-iii-rs-2.0-tfsi-245-ps-oe-76mm-90811160-mit-ece Includes reducer and clamps to fit to standard cat back system. With this downpipe, a JB4 tuning box (Map6) and panel filter my VRS245 made 331bhp & 368 ft/lb at Ecotune in Glasgow, seriously impressive numbers for an otherwise standard car that remains warranty friendly (when removed). £950 posted UK, or welcome to collect around Glasgow.

How you liking the JB4? What settings are you using? You on the newest firmware? (last week) Try these MAP6 settings, this is what I was running prior to fitting the downpipe and the car loved it, great timing advance, great AFR FOL - 60 Fuel - 99ron Boost safety - 25 1500 - 0 2000 - 2 2500 - 2.6 3000 - 3 3500 - 4 4000 - 5 4500 - 6 5000 - 6.5 5500 - 6 6000 - 5.5 6500 - 5 7000 - 5

Got ya. They manufacture the cat, Milltek build the downpipe around it. Should be good, hopefully not too loud though! Be interested to see what you make of it.

Good luck with it, I hope you get what you’re after, it’s a lot of money to spend and if I was doing it again I’d skip the intake and the cat back part of the exhaust. The stock intake is fine with a panel filter replacement and not as loud, as is the standard exhaust cat back. Can you clarify though? You said same downpipe as me, as in the HJS 245 specific one but then go on to mention the Milltek 3” with sport cat? Which is it? The only reason I went with the HJS is that it can be run on a standard or boxed car with no CEL due to having dual, very high quality, cats (100cell + 200cell). Due to being remapped you wouldn’t need that, a one cat downpipe would be fine (as the remap maps out the downpipe CEL’s from the ECU) and would flow marginally better too whilst being less expensive. My downpipe was £1450 on its own!! funny money but I keep the car warranty friendly as it can just be removed if needed along with the JB4, which is what I wanted.

I just removed and sold my Scorpion Resonated system after a week. Far too boomy inside the car, sounded great outside though. Back to standard cat back for me and couldn’t be happier (wife and kids too!) so hope you have a better experience with the Milltek. Your intercooler will be good for warmer ambient temps next year but at this time of year won’t make much difference. I wasn’t getting any timing pull with intake temps hitting 115f when I last ran mine. So with the same downpipe and an intake and remap I’d expect similar numbers to me, maybe a tad more as the remap should be, in theory, better than the box. I’ll say 335bhp and 500nm. Make sure they do a before and after on the day, you’ll really see the true gains then. I hope you don’t have the same experience as me with the exhaust though!!

Erm.. what downpipe, intake and intercooler are you planning fitting and where’s doing the remap?

Its not though. Everything else steering, dcc, engine sound stays in sport, it’s only the gearbox that drops back to drive. All you need to do is pull the shifter down to get it back to sport again once warmed up, no need to press any buttons. As said, it’s so you ain’t revving the tits off a cold engine.

Of course it will.... while still returning 59.8 mpg....

Tyre wear, I'd removed my "summer" wheels/tyres last week and had a look, I've about 5-6mm left on the fronts (PS4-S) after about 7k or so. E-diff is good, traction nannies need turning off as much as you can with the button (ESP Sport is the least invasive setting) or the car just cuts power when launching. At the end of the day, it is a FWD car, launching off the line is never going to be super quick but the 245 does a good job of it at these sport of power levels. I had considered dropping in an IS38 or even a hybrid from Littco but came to the conclusion there's not really any point, In my opinion at least, these cars sweet spot is right around the 300-340 bhp mark. Get a downpipe, remap/jb4 and maybe some intake mods and just enjoy it for what it is. Oh, and better brakes.

Puts the power down really well to be honest with you, the VAQ works well, ESP in sport and feather in the power, clearly you can’t just floor it like you can in an AWD but mid 5 seconds is pretty respectable for a FWD.

I got 5.66secs without really trying too hard. I reckon in the right conditions, with a bit of practice, low 5's would be achievable. My car is running around 330bhp though.

99!

Doh! Fair enough

Might have missed something but dont you only need 1? The listing states 2 are included? If so, I'll buy the extra one for £7.50 from someone and we're all on to a winner

German configurator now live with the "new" MY19 petrol VRS (245ps) http://cc-cloud.skoda-auto.com/deu/deu/de-de Specced up the equivalent of my own 2018 VRS 245 and all the options I have, along with what was included with the UK VRS 245, just adding in the digital dash and the price is over 40,000 Euros!

My mates house got broken into and his wife’s brand new Polo 1.2 stolen, so no, I think they’ll take whatever they can.

Worth noting too, you can actually disable the keyless functionality if you so wish. For example, when you are parked at home overnight and your keys might be vulnerable to relay attack, you simply lock the car by pressing lock on the key fob, then touch the sensor on the door handle once, the indicators will flash twice. Keyless entry is now disabled and you must press the unlock button on the key fob the next time you want to enter the car. Makes a relay theft impossible for that period, you need the key in order to press the button. Try it, it works.

So you need to press the key fob to enter the car with this fitted? So removed the keyless functionality entirely. I’ll stick to a faraday pouch for my keys I think.

Works fine on my IOS12 iPhone X, that said, I much prefer Google maps and the sattelite view is brilliant! Reinstall the app?

Not exactly redeeming yourself here, 120mph on a motorway commute, that's just silly. I'll leave it at that. Be safe

Just like a remap, the JB4 will greatly increase the torque available at a given RPM, which will allow you to drive in a manner that will improve your economy if you so wish. I can easily achieve 45mpg+ on a motorway journey, but I rarely do. My average around Glasgow is mid/high 20's but that can get to mid/high 30's over a long run out of the city, that said.. to be honest, I dont pay a huge amount of attention to MPG. Why tune a car to 300+ bhp and drive it like a Prius...? I like to get up to speed quickly, drop gears, use high rpm and so on, makes for a much more engaging drive, if someone really is returning an average of 42 over thousands of miles then it sounds to my like they're mostly stuck on a motorway or drive it like the're in the wrong car. I have no points, in fact, I've only had 3 points in 20 years and that was for running a red light (which never actually happened but that's a different story) You can drive quick without driving dangerously I have to say, the chap from Belgium, tuner111... Have any of you actually driven the Nurburgring Nordschleife? I have, just 30 or so laps, but I can tell you right now that for being his 4th lap, that was really good lap, smooth, flowing, good positioning on the track and most importantly safe. There's a lot of Ego on this thread, there's certainly no place for it on the Nurburgring Nordschleife and if you've never driven it, before commenting on others, go yourself, do a few "flat out" racing style laps and come back show us how you got on. I suspect you wouldn't be driving home in your own car with that sort of mentality though.

Thanks for that! I like the cheaper ones better too, match the front! Cheers! Re: IS38... that might never materialise, I think I might have found the sweet spot for this car right where it is to be honest, much more might overwhelm the chassis/VAQ. We'll see haha

I can get over 40 on a run with relative ease but in all honesty I dont really pay too much attention to MPG. Compared to some of the car's I've had in the past it's extremely economical if I require it to be! The good thing about the JB4 is you can move the power band around somewhat to suit your driving style, as a personal preference I've gone for a pretty linear torque curve which makes for a better driving car on the road (in my opinion), not much point having peak torque where, when you're really pressing on, shifting up a gear dumps you back to 4kish and you've got a peak torque in the 2k's. Revo and APR (I've had both on previous cars) do tend to map aggressively like this though as it gives a bigger the shove back in the seat (and often wheelspin in 1st/3nd or even 3rd on a FWD), great on an AWD, not so sure on a FWD. The EA888-3 does run quite hot, the thin factory spec oil doesn't help much, I now run Millers Nanodrive CFS 5w40 NT+ and am seeing about 5 degrees lower average oil temps, that said, if I do end up going IS38 I'll probably look into an auxillary oil cooler kit. I'm impressed It's making what Revo call Stage 2 power and Revo themselves only list a downpipe and intake as required hardware for their own stage 2 calibration, intercooler is on there as recommended, so not sure I'd agree on stage 1.5 (whatever that is), but it's quick, I'll say that much. Regards the intercooler, I dont expect to gain much as it currently stands from the intercooler, the car was only really seeing high IAT's in the dyno cell due to being at the back away from the fans and being hot in there from car's that were in there immediately before me, even then there was no timing correction due to exessive IAT's but it's borderline at 115 so on a hot day at the track or a sustained high speed run I've no headroom, the intercooler is more belt and braces for the future, especially as I say, if I do go IS38. Yeah it's an addiction alright haha! Rear matching sill covers sound good! Got a link?

Mostly Tesco Momentum 99 but V-Power if I’m not close to a Tesco. I did ad a little NF octane booster for the Dyno, for det protection more than anything else as the Dyno cell was red hot due to the number of cars running that day. I do the same on track days. So that probably adds an octane number or two. I was seeing IAT’s of 115f during the final pull, so got this bad boy to fit next week
