iamboo is on a distinguished road
you're still gonna have to modify the DP or drive around with an open DP till you custom fab an exhaust...

i'm not sure about the measurements but i know you will have to mod the IC pipes to our 7th gens...

Good luck! We helps lots going 'custom' with hard parts like manifolds, downpipes and such.

Custom will not save you that much $$ unless you buy used or real garbage stuff that will probably end up breaking or causing more headaches than it's worth.

What kills me is most people spend $2800 on TSI kits, with horrible charge pipes, small turbo, horrible fuel management that you end up switching out, and what it really nets out to between our kit and theirs is just about $300-500.

It doesn't save you ANY money. It costs you more if you do it right, but it still gives you headaches.

Yeah I do not get why people buy the tsi kits brand new!?!
I can understand if you get one used for a good deal.
Anything worth doing will give you a headache, that is life
