Dont use paddles unless when you doing a roll. Just put it in sport mode. Let the car shifts itself. It shifts faster and the pops between shifts will be louder
It does shift faster but I do enjoy the paddles I went from only driving manual cars to the PDK so I use the paddles as much as I can . But I do agree unless I’m rolling and my rpm is above three thousand the pops are better doing it in just sport mode.
No, from the exhaust by itself, the only performance I gained was sound and driver pleasure most times 9-10 times you won’t notice anything from Justin exhaust with without a tune, and that goes with most performance modifications but it was definitely well worth the money!
@@Gloomer767 it would be quieter if my soundaktor was still enabled but the exhaust itself doesn’t change volume , I would say they are very audible and noticeable but not over bearing
@@octane_media I’m guessing you disabled your soundaktor with obdeleven? So mine would be quieter if I put in eco/comfort since my soundaktor is still enabled? why did you remove your soundaktor?
@@Gloomer767 I turned my soundaktor off because I didn’t like the sound it produced and it would rattle occasionally so I just decided to disable it and you would be correct I did use my obd 11 tool
Hey there! I am dying trying to figure out which exhaust to get. My car is a daily and I have a family. Def want it to sound louder than stock and have that aftermarket tone but don’t want it to be too loud that it’s annoying for the neighbors or fam. Do you think it’s just right or could be too loud?
AWE does offer a “touring” version of the exhaust which is quieter and more tame than the track exhaust. In my personal opinion I like the track exhaust and it does drone a little bit on cold start and cold mornings but as my daily as well it is not at all bad !
Yea I’m aware of the touring version. Looking at millteks touring or track as well. The touring on paper seems like the play for my needs but I also don’t want to spend a lot of money and wish it was a little louder lol
@@JJHale85 With AWE they also sell a replacement mid pipe I believe for just under a couple hundred bucks if you got the touring and it was to quiet for your taste and vice versa
I’ll have to do a short on it ! It’s fairly loud but definitely no where near over bearing! I daily it with my 1 and a half year old it’s enough for her to say OO! On start up but not obnoxious.
The drone is not bad at all definitely a little bit more drone on colder mornings/days but manageable what I like about this exhaust is if it ever did get too loud you can buy a replacement center pipe from their street kit with a center muffler/resonator for a little over a hundred bucks and it will take it down !
I don’t have any personal experience with the clubsport exhaust but from others on the forums it does make it a tad bit louder but if you’re wanting more and a little more volume I think the AWE exhaust is absolutely great I love it still and I have had it for a year now !
@@octane_media ty for the input plus a cat back system will be ready to go for a tune in the future. Hmm def some things to think about not sure how it affects warranty on the car.
First thing, where did you find a women that can turn a wrench so well ? 😂 Great job, the exhaust looks like it should be on a Peterbuilt, not a VW ! Thanks, RickGTI….. 🌴

Hi curious to know if you lost any back pressure with this exhaust and if you felt any performance gains from it.
No, from the exhaust by itself, the only performance I gained was sound and driver pleasure most times 9-10 times you won’t notice anything from Justin exhaust with without a tune, and that goes with most performance modifications but it was definitely well worth the money!
Hello! Question, how long did it take roughly for it to arrive once ordered? Also loving the sounds. I bough the track edition as well.
Awesome ! And I think mine took about a week not terribly long but not 2 day shipping either.
Sound awesome, any futur mods? Intake, tune, downpipe? Anyways nice car👍
Yes there’s definitely more to come as soon as the Datsun is done we have a baby on the way so I have to pace myself 😅😂
Couple questions. 1. If you put it in eco/comfort is it a little quieter then sport? 2. Are the pops and bangs loud with the track?

yo im thinking of getting this exhaust, is it loud when under WOT? u should make an outside vid of it wot!
I’ll have to do a short on it ! It’s fairly loud but definitely no where near over bearing! I daily it with my 1 and a half year old it’s enough for her to say OO! On start up but not obnoxious.
hows the drone on this exhaust? torn between this and milltek.

Have you noticed in sports mode it pops a bit more or are they louder?
I have noticed that but only if I switch it while driving if it’s constantly in sports mode I don’t get nearly as many pops.
@@octane_media when you start the car in sport mode it won’t have the pops, you have to hit it again everytime you start
How loud are the dsg farts are they very noticeable in person ?
They are pretty noticeable especially 1-2 and then 2-3 !
@@octane_media ok thanks for the response sounds really good
@@JELO110 Thank you ! I hope this helped you out.
Very torn on clubsport muffler or this exhaust any thoughts or imputs.

@@dylan4119a cat back will not affect the warranty but a tune definitely will !
@@octane_media hmmm might have to send it once i save up funds then sounds to nice ty!
Where did you get that hat from?????
I got it from the VW Dealership local to me !

I just got lucky I guess 😂 her dad raised her in the car scene! And I will say the tips are a little large but they fill the diffuser really well.
@@octane_media thanks again, RickGTI….. 🌴
Must be nice to live in a state where you are free to mod your car.
For the most part yes depending on where you’re at we have emissions so there’s a little bit you can’t do.
Oh mad stuff hope you don’t JINXX your car and make it not cool🙃
Sorry I don’t think I get what you’re trying to say
