Exhaust system cat back for CC

[snobrdrdan]

I don't get this....why would the B&B exhaust (for the B6) be short on the CC?

BUT the Borla exhaust for the B6, which also fits the CC, fits perfect???


That sucks man....I wouldn't be happy at all.

If it was too long...okay, you trim the pipe down.
But too short....you can't exactly add pipe to it

Hey wh1te09gti - any update on this?

I don't either, QC issue? Not to add insult to injury here but mine was too long and BB fixed it the next day, they did another full TB install on another local's car and it fit like the pictures I sent you.

Not to start a battle of the exhausts but the Borla's I've seen are not long enough.

I'm really curious....link or anything to support that?

Like I've always said/posted...I put my Borla on my '11 last May and it was spot on fitment...no issues.
PLUS, I had some adjustability at the factory downpipe clamp/connection as to where I wanted the tips to sit (depth wise) in the rear fascia as well. I prefer mine not poking out much...so that's what I went with.
At least 5 other guys on here have it as well, with no issues either.

On my '13 though (with the different rear bumper/diffuser)....I'm not gonna lie....it's pretty much maxed out adjustment wise and the tips are barely poking out the rear diffuser to where it sits perfect. But it still bolted on without any modification, obviously.

It fits 100% out of the box though.....just clearing the air

Like I said, not trying to start a battle here, I was fortunate enough to have my BB TB installed at their facility so mine is perfect IMO. It is a huge problem for anyone to purchase any brand of exhaust that shows up 4 inches short and I was ultimately checking in to see if his issue was resolved.

Fitment is one thing, tip length is a matter of opinion. The picture of the other exhaust in this thread IMO is too short, no the tips do not need to stick out 4 inches but IMO they could come out just a little more, therefore the "short" statement.

I have no affiliation with BB but I have referred other members to them and they have not had an issue so its just a general concern that he gets a resolution to his "fitment" issue.

Um yeah, don't listen to me I am a moron! I wasn't referring to that exhaust.

[wh1te09gti]

so far no response.
I emailed billy on thursday i wrote that i want whole new catback that will fit properly and dp for discounted price. Once i install new system i will send back the one that i have for their further investigation.

i think thats fair. all i want is quality part that fits properly for the hard earned money that i spent.

side note: im extremely happy with note, its what i wanted. nice and deep tone.

[R0bL0gic]

Just call Mike around 11 your time tomorrow, he usually answers the phone.

[wh1te09gti]

ok so quick update:
They keep claiming that its impossible that mid section is 4" short, they 've never had such issue.
After 2 weeks calling them and asking for the solution they will send me 4" coupler.
Poor fitment of tips remain unsolved, i will just take it to the local shop and have them cut 1/4 " of hanger so it will sit higher.
I'm sick of bs and should have gone with awe. lesson leaned. bb customer service and fitment
Good thing is that it sounds nice and deep.

Has anyone tried the Neuspeed catback?

http://www.neuspeed.com/301063-neusp...k-exhaust.html

There doesn't seem to be a lot of info on this one for CCs other than a couple of meh-quality youtube videos. I did like the sound though.

[wh1te09gti]

Update on BB
Save Yourself headaches and avoid this company. Fittment is ****ty and customer service sux. im tired of calling them and asking for solution. They know they screwed- up and dont give a s$@# about it.

I will be filling a claim with BBB.
I should have gone with AWE.

I still can't believe they didn't take care of this.

I have the Neuspeed catback. Look at the thread "Show your Candy White CC", I posted videos on the very first page in the very first post. The sound quality is terrible though and the exhaust sounds a lot better in person.

the thing is i like the way bb sounds and all just their cust service and fittment sux.
Other interesting fact is when i got my catback it was in apr box just turned inside out...

Lol so those were your videos on youtube. I don't think anybody else has one on theirs. I looked all over but can't find any other clips. I'd love to see/hear a more detailed clip though (in car/take off/etc).

[MrRline]

For the guy with the BB problems can I make a suggestion of taking a short video of the exhaust. Show it in place and how it doesn't reach to where it should and show that there is an issue. Pictures imo don't do your claim justice as we can't see if there the possibility of an error however minute or a true quality issue. Anyway just a suggestion i'd even be willing to take a trip up there for you to help another fellow enthusiast out.

[wh1te09gti]

Yeah thats good idea i will prob make short video upcoming weekend . Im planning to install coils so car will be lifted.
Thanks for advice.
I spoke with mike again he said they sent me some extended adapters. Ok fine but it doesnt change the fact that tip fittment is off.
Im tired of this and prolly will have local shop fix that .

The reason the cat-back is short is because it's designed to be fitted to the BB downpipe. They only make one DP for 2.0T GTI/Jetta/Passat/CC. If you were to install just the BB DP with the stock cat-back you would have to cut the same length off of the DP it fit it up to the cat-back.

haha that's funny! I chose Neuspeed mainly because Neuspeed also supplies parts to VW. Not sure in what capacity though. I also have their rear anti-sway bar (25mm). They definitely make good quality parts but my experience with them has been limited to just these two parts I bought from them. Their customer service is nice as well. I had a question about fitment and someone got back to me with a clear answer that it will fit.

Lol so those were your videos on youtube. I don't think anybody else has one on theirs. I looked all over but can't find any other clips. I'd love to see/hear a more detailed clip though (in car/take off/etc).

heh yeah! They must be mine. I'd love to take a better clip but don't have the camera that whose mic doesn't suck! Any suggestions on how I can filter the sound while recording with a phone? If I make a nice one, I might even submit it to Neuspeed so it is easily available for anyone browsing their catalog.

Correct. I watched my shop cut a little bit off when they initially installed my BB DP prior to me going full TBE

Thanks for the reminder/refreshing my memory B6

[wh1te09gti]

i wouldn't mind if they send me dp free of charge to fix my issue
placement of the tips will remain unsolved, wich pisess me off more b/c is obvious and it looks like i got set of autozone tips.

Your issue is prob bc you didnt pound the 2 fittings tht fit together enough if you did so your tips would be sucked in some more. The 2 pieces fit in roughly 2+ in into eachother.

And as for the catback not meeting up with ut stock DP tht is just an addition of a short piece of straight 3in pipe its really not that huge of a deal i needed to do the same to my car when using the B&B

Possibly, but hangers are lined up perfectly if i will try to force it it will not sit correctly on hangers.
For the $ that i paid for this piece of 3" with 2 mufflers i expect nothing but perfect fitment. Its not rocket science to build catback. it should be perfect (like awe )
I know its not a big of the deal, and i can fix that easy but thats not what the point is. Especially when they advertising themselves as perfect oem fit and finish. and for the $ that You paying.
They reason why i choose bb was simply because their reputation of good quality, but apparently i was wrong.

Does anyone have an APR B6 exhaust installed on their CC?
I like the way their exhaust sounds so I'm either going to buy this one, or the one from AWE, because I like their sound as well. I want to make sure the APR B6 exhaust fits well, as I would rather go with the 3".
