Re: Custom Scirocco R Build
- I am still deciding between Armytrix and Milltek Exhaust and don't know if Armytrix is worth the difference
I have just a miltek non resonated catback on my 2.0 TSI and I would say it's not super loud in low revs but comes alive after 2.5-3k revs. It's quiet when you want it to be and loud when u want it as well, it's a good mix
If you are going to use your car for daily use I say get the miltek. If it's only for weekends I would get something louder and a downpipe

As soon as I get my car, because I didn't want to get it out of the garage till my new spoiler comes, I will post a video and will post my review of the Armytrix exhaust. I, of course, started the car already and I can tell you that the exhaust is loud, almost too loud if you ask me(your neighbors will not be happy when you cold start) but that's why you have a remote to open and close the valves.

I think it was 2750 EUR including the down pipe.

The color of the wrap seems a little bit different outside in daylight

UPDATES
I've mounted the Powerflex Anti-lift kit and the lower engine mount. Can't get over the vibrations I get from the engine now. Also when I move the wheel from left to right without moving there are cracks coming from underneath the car which are for sure from the Anti-lift kit because nothing has been change besides this. Will have a look this week under the car to check if anything else is making the noise. Anyway, the lower engine mount will come off for sure, it is impossible to drive the car knowing that at 1000-1100 RPM the car feels like breaking apart.

I have a set on my Mercedes too. Can't go without them, a little bit on the stiff side but the car feels a lot much nicer. Definitely the change I would make first on any of my cars.

Re: Custom Scirocco R Build
Nope, it is really poor quality. It is made of fiberglass but it came with cracks and needed a lot of work to make it the way it was meant to be. I was given a 150 eur refund. I laminated it in carbon fiber and then did some work to fit the car. I would not recommend unless you want to go through I went to get it in perfect condition.hherbyy wrote:Is the Aliexpress special Cup spoiler any good? did it need modifying too much? is it good quality? looking to get a cup spoiler but nobody is selling Gen anywhere and this looks so cool
