Downpipe and Exhaust upgrade :) (Pictures and Video inside !)

I started this season with a exhaust upgrade , last week I did the #unfixthefix . I went with www.blackhazeworkshop.com for the downpipe and banks power for the exhaust. Blackhazeworkshop is located in Trois-Rivières/Québec/Canada wich is not really far from where I live (2h road trip). As far I can tell , worksmanship quality is top notch for the price paid ! I will let you judge by yourself ! Mathieu is a great guy to deal with and he's offering custom manufacturing and shipping in Canada and USA !

More videos to follow for the highway sound . Upgrades are not done yet , stay posted , big changes are coming !

Man that sounds so good. Tig looks awesome too.

Looks good and sounds good!

What a great beginning to what may be a long list of upgrades! It is a slippery slope once we start to add power to our TDI's; sometimes the question becomes, "How much is enough?" Well, the answer to that is, "More is better."

Sounds pretty good! Keep updating us.

I think the answer to that question is, "how deep are your pockets?" haha

Actually it's been almost 3 years I am Malone Stage 3 with a CR170 turbo and lots of goodies , at first when I went from stock to STG3 I was WOW . Now it's like normal . My goal is 500 LBFT . Got my clutch this winter (DKM Stage 3 ) . Supposed to hold 660lbft. So I have a margin to go higher later too

The tax return will help to finance the project !

At those torques it's not the clutch you're going to have to worry about it's the housing of the transmission staying together. Best of luck!!
