A good vanity plate is tough. It took 3 tries for my latest one...had to do many variants to finally one available. I've got a blacked out GT that has a few red accents. so I went with DRTHVDR =) I get compliments on the car and tag just about everyday.

Had the fan replaced twice now, LOL. I'm waiting to hear a new part number for the fan anytime now...seems to be fairly common (enough for Ford to comp to the bearing issue). I had my second fan put in last month. No noise yet, but as others have stated it will most likely return in time.

I started the car up this morning and the fans kicked on as usual but then I heard a much louder sound (in person it sounds like compressed air being quickly released). I shut the AC off to test if that was the culprit and the sounds is nowhere to be found. I took video of it briefly this...

Love my Mach Thunder. Turns heads everywhere when I open it up but zero done and throaty growl when cruising. I'd love to hear the Street Race version, that must be insane at WOT! =)

I"d talk to Solo. You can adjust the J-pipes. Maybe this can be tweaked out. :shrug:

Woops! Copy and paste fail. Browser was locking up that day, so I had to keep copying and pasting back in what I was writing. Should have double checked it wasn't such a mess :frusty: The Golf R, S3 and S550 are all great platforms. Ultimately, it comes down to one's budget and which one...

I came from a 2016 Golf R. Pretty much been in the tuning scene for the past 10 years (350z, mazdaspeed3, WRX, Evo X and then a Challenger ScatPack...that's a whole other story). The R was tuned (JB1 1.5) and was a screamer with the DSG. Build quality, handling, gearbox, tuning...

I was saving up for the Corsa Extreme but after speaking with Solo Performance and hearing it...I was sold! It took my buddies shop about 45 minutes to take off the stock exhaust and put in the Mach Thunder CBE. It has a low throaty tone at idle and keeps that low growl under 3k rpms. Once...

Awesome, I bet its gnarly! :eyebulge:

Nice! :hail: Which model did you get? I ordered the Mach Thunder.

Thanks! The GT badge, side 5.0 emblems and pony emblem are all both from the Black Accent package (first introduced as the Dark Horse Edition), plus the black 19" wheels that are probably my favorite stock wheel option of all time (just all goes together so nicely). The front red 5.0 badge is...

Same here...black on black. Wanted it sinister looking as possible. Once my Mach Thunder CBE with black tips arrive, it will sound as mean as it looks :D

Looks great! Can't wait to get mine in and see how the black tips look on mine :) I'm so anxious to hear this this sucker going wide open. I was sold on the Corsa Extreme till I came across this thread, watched the videos :eyebulge: and spoke to Steve at Solo.

Ordered mine today!!! Got the Mach Thunder Catback system with black tips on the way. It should be here this week :D Can't wait to hear it opened up :eyebulge: The rest of the GT is murdered out, so the 4.5" black tips should fit in nicely. A big thanks to Steve at Solo Performance for...

Because the dark side rules all :D

Got mine in a few weeks ago...took forever to find the combination that wasn't already taken!

That really stinks but at least they identified the fault and will have you back up and running. From what I've read and seen, these engines are overbuilt and incredibly reliable even when pushed well past their stock numbers.

They are ridiculous from a launch, especially with a tune. They take off like a slingshot :eyebulge: That never got old.

Ha, that's genius!

The S550 GT is certainly capable and the throttle response is just awesome. That was pretty much my only complaint with the MK7R, although it's fixable through something as simple as a pedal box. Stock for stock, I'm sure you walked over the R. A simple tune with zero mods though makes it...
