3” Turbo back exhaust cheap?

[ChrisVRS1]

Hi guys, im looking to have my 2.0 tfsi mapped from Stage 1 to Stage 2. Im going to buy a cold air intake, hpfp and a 3” turbo back exhaust with sports cat (resonated). Can someone advise me on a cheap exhaust? Milltek is beyond expensive. 

 

Cheers

Pipewerx and Blueflame are alternatives which are cheaper than Miltec. You won't need a HPFP unless going for stage 2+, which may cause you clutch issues and you'd need a better intercooler - not worth the additional cost for a minor gain over stage 2 in my opinion, having done it!

Thanks for that. So what do u recommend for Stage 2? Just the exhaust and intake? Il have a look at the exhausts today

[Timmyboy]

If I were doing it again, I'd just do a decent cold air intake, 3 inch downpipe and a decent map like Shark or Revo. That would get around 260bhp on the TFSI. I got 276bhp at stage 2+ on mine, but waaaay not worth the hassle and cost of hpfp and intercooler. My clutch struggled at stage 2 unfortunately.

When u say downpipe.. does the rest (cat etc) remain standard? I remapped to Stage 1 and i think its really quick. Not sure what bhp i have atm tho.

[Timmyboy]

The downpipe is the first section from the turbo which includes the cat. If replacing this section for a 3" diameter it will come with a sports cat fitted - or you could buy a de-cat downpipe but you'd need to swap it out for your MOT each year. 

The rest of the exhaust system is up to you as the only restriction in airflow is the downpipe section I believe. Leaving standard gives you more of a sleeper, but mine did sound lovely with a full system. 

Jut remembered my downpipe was a 'Piper'.

im stage 2 r tech mapped 265 bhp 325ftlbs with a 2.5 inch custom made exhaust decat to 1 back box at the back sounds nice on boost cost 450 quid aswell

That looks great altho a pain in the ass come MOT i bet having to change it? When u say sound great on boost.. is it loud? Can u hear ur car coming from miles away? Lol. I quite like all the pops and bang you hear from the likes of st focus, leon cupra etc. Does this make any?
