Wouldnt the hatch pop kit from ECS be a better bet? It fully opens the hatch.

My daughter's car had that kit fitted when we bought it....IMO, a horrible invention! Was a shock on first opening after being used to my own GTI stock hatch - springs/struts are so strong the hatch pops alright....just about pops you right in the face! And its a pain in the butt to close as well, you can completely forget about shutting it with the as designed 'cool guy' method of pulling the internal recess with one hand and closing it in one go without touching the outside. Replaced with standard struts and the ECS ones went straight in the trash
Looks like Zero815's version is a lot more civilized!

I feel the same way about them putting Nardo Grey on everything nowadays. You can get Nardo Grey minivans ffs

Replaced the 3” to 2.5” to 3” adapters for a straight 3” piece to connect my CTS DP to the AWE touring cbe.

I could instantly tell the idle is smoother, it spools quicker, and the MPG has gone way up lol

Just have to cut down the pipe to the length needed.

I’ve seen sunroof drains cause a wet floor on other cars a few times?
The torque difference from stage 1 to is38 is impressive.

As much as I like the hatch design of a Golf I hate how dirty it gets in fall/winter time. I have approx. 30 miles Autobahn on my daily commute each way. My cruising speed is typically 80-110mph, not so much an issue up to 60mph (but sorry no option here). On a kessy cars it's useful after a longer Autobahn drive, I can pop the trunk open w/o touching the dirty emblem. And for 20€ a no brainer for me.
I wasn't looking for fully open, just a way to really unlock it and pop it open a bit.

Not to mention the Recaros on the GLI... but that is what VW had to do in order to continue selling the cars in the US. We are too cheap to buy Audi quality in a VW.
