Got my stage 2 tune finally. Had the shop put on a ecs tuning 3 inch downpipe. Going from stage 1 APR to stage 2 was noticeable for sure. The sound is amazing. Paired with a Cobb catback.
Made me think I had an exhaust leak at first not sure. The turbo spool with that downpipe is just so much...

I'm planning on getting the Apr stage 1 on my GTI. I was wondering if I can use the stage 1 tune with any kind of car back exhaust, not just the full Apr setup. I don't really want to do the downpipe or anything just yet, but could foresee a cat back just for sound down the road, and was just...
