Yup!

Lots of guys making the switch from louder catbacks to the Stealth Suitcase, it’s definitely been the center of attention lately!
Count me in that group. The more-open CBE is fun for a while, but it can get old, especially in a daily driver and in the city. Sure, maybe I'm "old" at 54, but I suspect plenty of those with loud exhausts also have something quieter to drive on road trips (I seldom see GTIs on rural Interstate highways). I only drive my GTI; so, I appreciate the Stealth Suitcase for providing a relatively quiet experience that's still more zippy and sporty-sounding than stock.

Made a little progress. Still need to break some tacks and dial it in better but I ran out of time before work. Note the photo from the top is not how that first 90* sits, that was just a quick picture during mock up.

Big relief that my pre planning is working out how I imagined it. I already recruited my wife to make sharpie marks for the final fitment test in the morning before gluing it all together. 4” is HEAVY and R don’t have much room to reach up in there so it’s definitely tricky. Also, the prop shaft has to come all the way out to fit this big mama-jamma in there.

Camera is in... doesn't look like much, but I'm trying to get the mounts sorted for the dragon. Will look much better during the day. 5k at 30fps, 4k 50 fps, 3k 100 fps.
I like the cam angle, looks like Forza/Gran Turismo lol

Finally got around to buying a 24mm H&R RSB and had it installed on my GTI last week. The grip levels from the rear now feel like night and day! Absolutely planted to the road, it's been dangerous levels of fun! I'm glad I stuck with the 24mm and didn't go beefier with the 26mm as I feel that would've been uncomfortably stiff for me. With the stock FSB it feels so spritely! 😄

Decent 245/40R17 or 245/35R18 performance/track tires are nearly impossible to find right now thanks to the supply chain so I scraped together a set of 19x8 RS3 wheels with 220TW tires for a track day at Nelson Ledges tomorrow. Not sure which car will be at the track in the morning, but for now the wheels look good on my GSW4Mo haha.

What size is that at leaving Vband after subframe mounts? I see a taper before the flex but looks super minor

Edit: Also, it looks soo bad ass!!
The Vband is 3", vibrant, I have the same one, after my Unitronic one broke and the mid pipe fell on my face and bruised my nose for over two weeks. (y)
