  1. FL5 Intercooler Reference Thread

    I am not a fan of those end tanks. But. Yeah. That’s a beta project. Hopefully they get casted or get the billet treatment.
  2. Which Aftermarket Exhaust Do You Have?

    On the ea888 gen 3 and 4, folks have divorced it completely for the sake of adding an actual exhaust header manifold. But at that point, it’s race car shit. Only a matter of time before it’s solved on the k20c. there’s this sort of xray exploded looking diagram of the whole head. The integrated...
  3. Which Aftermarket Exhaust Do You Have?

    Same. I do find it interesting how there’s so many options by all of these manufacturers yet only a small handful of them sound like their manufacturers truly wanted to craft a particular sound. The majority of options available sound like stock but louder and with a little more rasp. IMO like...
  4. Where’s the Aero?

    I’m glad someone said it. That shit looks absolutely unfuckable
  5. FL5 27Won hybrid intake: initial impression

    Local dude has had it for some time now. According to log r it runs a hair cooler than stock. But at drive throughs and long red lights the temp lights up fast as hell. However, driving forward for about 3-5 city blocks gets the temps back down. It cools down as fast as it heats up. His wooshy...

    Dang that’s a solid idea. Looking fwd to the video
  7. Looking for brake pad recommendations for my usage

    Translator forced me to wear long sleeve shirts. Cuz of tattoos. In the freaking summer…. Seems like U had it worse šŸ˜‚
  8. Looking for brake pad recommendations for my usage

    Dear god. I know exactly which road you’re talking about! I remember the van driver pegging it in second too! šŸ˜‚ beautiful and terrifying at the same time. Regrettably we weren’t allowed to drive during Lancero training. I would’ve loved to drive that road. and yeah. Motul is great. Till U get...
  9. Which Aftermarket Exhaust Do You Have?

    The tips look like the older resonators from back in the day. The ones with the rakes on the inside. I wonder if it’s functional.
  10. Looking for brake pad recommendations for my usage

    This is what I’m here for. For advice thanks. Both of U. Besides srf, anything y’all can recommend that’ll last at least 24 months? From my understanding you typically want to flush srf every 12-18 months, no?
  11. What did you do to your FL5 today?

    Rich mf. Marry us! šŸ˜‚
  12. Bummed so far with FL5 aftermarket exhaust sound

    If a DP is ever in your future. Just do a dp + front pipe and be done with it. I heard a fl5 in person with this set up and it sounded good (for a 4 banger). Shiiiiit, dp and front pipe is cheaper than a catback tbh. And there are gains up top with a front pipe and catback. For sure. But I bet...
  13. Looking for brake pad recommendations for my usage

    Oh sorry. I should’ve explained. I have a type s. It’s very type r-ish. it barely has 3k miles. I’d rather get solid advice before landing on pads. I haven’t tried pads cuz I just got the car and I don’t wanna swap pads in the winter. That sucks. the dot3 stuff keeps me from going to a more...
  14. Bummed so far with FL5 aftermarket exhaust sound

    My mistake. I was referring to modern inline 4 cylinders. Nothing today is capable of sounding as good as a b18 with long tube headers man. Sadly. Sorry for the confusion šŸ˜‚
  15. Bummed so far with FL5 aftermarket exhaust sound

    If it ain’t a v4 or a boxer/flat 4. It’s not gonna sound great. Best U can hope for with an inline four is ā€œgood enoughā€ I can recommend watching some YouTube and listening to a few options.
  16. Looking for brake pad recommendations for my usage

    Yes. Except the last bit of it. I lose a little pedal. More than likely due to temps. The perfect brake pad (for me)would basically be a slightly more capable brembo
  17. Akrapovic FL5 Exhaust

    Heard akrapovic on GTI’s and golf r’s a few times. Very nice sounding exhaust. For sure.
  18. Stage 1: All Season Tires on FL5

    I mean, a 20ā€ x 10ā€ wheel is large! 24-25 pounds sounds excellent for that size. Frankly, I bet a casted wheel with those specs would probably be 33-35 pounds if not more. mk7.5 GTI casted oem wheels were 18ā€x7.5 and they weighed about 28-29 pounds!
