Hi guys, new here on the forum. I joined to pick the brains of some pros
I’m thinking of doing some basic mods to my 2015 TDI SEL
Stage 1 tune (QPro by kermatdi)
And a catback exhaust. I went this route as I didn’t want issues deleting the adblue system, DPF, etc.
I’m solid on the tune, but my question: is a catback exhaust worth it? If I’m not mistaken (please, correct me if I’m wrong) the stock resonator as well as the muffler (obviously) sit behind the catalytic converter. (so a catback exhaust would essentially delete these, unless I opted to get some performance replacements.)
The “is it worth it” portion of my question boils down to does a catback exhaust provide any audible or performance difference? My common sense tells me the car must be pretty restrictive to comply with the EPA, so I’m trying to figure out if I should buy this exhaust
Here are the links to what I’m planning to buy, just for reference
