Fabspeed HFC Installed

OMG what a difference in sound. I have not had a real chance to drive it yet to gauge the difference in power, but I am loving the sound. The install was super smooth and it fit perfectly. Installed is the Dinan resonator delete and Fabspeed HFC.

How involved is the install? I definitely want to do this at some point.

My Golf R is a pain in the butt to do a downpipe install. Getting the stock pipe out requires either dropping the front subframe (need alignment if you do this) or dropping the driveshaft (what I opted to do). Took like 3-4 hours to do on jack stands. I swear I spent like 1.5 hours fiddling with stupid little heat shields and crap.

X2. Curious about doing the install myself.

Can't wait to hear it!

Really straight forward, remove the under tray. remove the bolt from the bracket. Unplug the two O2 sensors. There is a clamp on either end of the OEM cat, remove those and it should just drop right out. Remove the two O2 sensors from the OEM cat and install them in the Fabspeed HFC and reverse the process. I replaced the OEM gasket that goes between the cat and the turbo also. I did it on a lift, but it can be done on the floor if needed.

Did you try firing it up after the HFC was installed and before the resonator delete? I'm curious about the sound with just the HFC installed vs. stock cat.

After March 8, snow permitting, you can hear that very combo for yourself if we meet up...

Name the place and time and I'm there, Bruce! Cant wait to see your setup.

Snow...and overturned tankers of propane...permitting. What a mess! 2 hours to get home from downtown to Greenlake.

thanks for the run down, that sounds much easier. I love how your HFC/resonator delete combo sound, I actually already order the resonator delete for my car.

No, the resonator delete was installed a few months ago.

Sure, thing. There was a lot of traffic on the way home, but from what I can tell, there is definitely more power and the sound is awesome. You can really hear the turbo spool. You will definitely be happy with this combo!

Just noticed your youtube video before this post. I was wondering if this was cat or catless. Is that stock exhaust?

The muffler is stock with Cyba tips, but I have the Dinan resonator delete.
