Tigger73's 162TSI Sportline

[tigger73]

Quad tips on a Tiguan looks awesome. Got to keep telling myself that I don't need it.

Curious to know how it sounds with the resonator deleted. I think my missus would be less than impressed if I did this, but damn it looks good.

Funnily enough it sounds like a Stage2 Golf R with a res delete

It’s a bit deeper note because of the 3” DP.

I haven’t driven it with the back seats up and boot cover in place yet (brought the old exhaust home from the shop in the back). However wife went out this afternoon and said she didn’t notice anything- so passed the wife test at least and that’s with the valves open.

Still to get to wiring up the valve controllers to see if I can get them to operate.

Just in case you're wondering what it all sounds like here's a cold start clip with a couple of revs at the end:

Damn it tigger... now I really need to get this done to finish my Wolfie off.
The stock muffler is driving me nuts on cold starts since all the stage 3 mods.

Thanks for the vid and pics, very helpful.

PS are all valves open?

[tigger73]

Yes my valves are open and it still isn’t that loud. I could live with it that way for sure, however I think my wife would like the valve controller in there and working so cold starts are quieter and now she is aware of it that she doesn’t get looks driving down the street.

If you have the radio going you really can’t hear it but if you switch it off then it’s noticeable but not intrusive.

In terms of bang for buck I’d rate this as good return for $ spent. All up cost me $350 including the exhaust and fitting.

Best $350 spent by the sounds of it!

I just need to get the valve actuators working so that I can close the valves to keep my wife happy when she drives it. Then I'll call it job done.

No filter was clogged up at 37,000km.

Did you get any alerts? I wonder if mine is in the same state - hence the random violent Haldex kick (which you've seen in the video of the 12.9s pass at the drag strip)

I've had this happen a couple of times but was told it was the transmission sorting itself out. Hasn't happened since.... but I also haven't launched it much either.
