RAI Testpipe

[mkv90]

Hi all,

I've been around for a little while but this is my first post. Im looking for a test pipe for a 2.5l Jetta. I also have a AWE catback. After using google i found this: http://www.raimotorsport.com/Jetta-R...mk5_2.5_dp.htm
Does any of you guys has any input on this test pipe. Fitment, gains, sound.

I used the Search button but i got no results.

Also what are some options for test pipes other than USP.

I posted this on the mkv forum but i got no answers.

Thank you all

Hey man, this isn't from an Jetta, but it's from an Audi. I would continue to use Google and read reviews from all the sites. If they have solid reviews across the board, more than likely the ocmpany has a good rep.

[thygreyt]

agreed. not an mkv/mk6 2.5L product.

[itskohler]

They make 2.5l MKV DPs...q

[thygreyt]

They make 2.5l MKV DPs...q

i went back to the site. they dont have any vw 2.5L specific products

[itskohler]

Damn it, I Googled it and found the 2.5 downpipe. Now I can't find it to link up on here.

[mkv90]

thanks for the help guys. i tried going through the website too and i did not see a specific section for a vw 2.5l but when u google it this comes up and it does say fits jetta/rabbit. i checked a bunch of forums out and there all audi forums. http://www.raimotorsport.com/Jetta-R...mk5_2.5_dp.htm

And also the link ^^ is diffferent than the one i had on my first post but its the same product.

I guess ill stick with USP since its a 100% fitment and there many good reviews in here. EXCEPT if you guys have any different sugesstions?

Thanks!

I don't know it does sound good. Plus almost $100 cheaper than USP. I'm interested

So, have the reviews on the Audi forums been good? I would base those as your deciding factor. I dont imagine their VW products being too far anything that they would make for Audis.

[mkv90]

I have been searching around and i have only seen good reviews about RAI products testpipes/dp but nothing for this exact product

I will give them a call today and see what they have to say will let everyone know.

And this testpipe comes with all the hardware!!!

[itskohler]

If the reviews you are reading, though, are really good about their other products, chances are this one will be a good one too. If you buy it write up a review.

see if they would do a group discount or vwvortex discount. That would be really cool

I just got off the phone with one of the guys there (i think this name was Chris), he is going to get back to me shortly. He sounded very positive and was willing to to help us out.

Hey Guys,

Thanks for your interest and input. We have adjusted the website and we now have a category for our 2.5 products. We have a few products of our own and we also carry United Motorsport products. By the beginning of next week we will be launching a group buy for these test pipes. It will run for about 2 weeks. For the group order to be processed, I need a minimum of 5 test pipes ordered. If the minimum is not met then each customer can either be refunded the discounted rate that was paid or choose to make up the difference and pay the full asking price. The price is currently set at $254.99. The group buy price will be $225 plus shipping.

I will make a thread both here and on golfmk5.com when we are ready to go.

Thanks again!

I'm glad that someone said something about this. I'm tempted to go grab one since the company is like less than an hour from me

[Sales@R.A.I. Motorsport]

[mkv90]

[Chris@R.A.I. Motorsport]

If you guys have any doubts about quality or fitment of our products, make sure to check out some of the reviews for other downpipes that we make. We pride ourselves on perfect fitment and a very high quality product.

i wanna hear this mated to a awe exhaust! and will this fit a 2010 golf 2.5 without a CEL?

[JohnnyDrama]

Pretty good price, but I'd be interested if it does anything in terms of power.

[itskohler]

Youll see a power increase in the higher RPMs.

Personally, I would run a hi-flow cat. I like the planet we live on.

I can't wait to put it on!

It should give you the same numbers as the other test pipes it's just a straight pipe with the same diameter so I don't see how can it be different. Let's hope it's a gain of about 10-15hp that would be pretty good!

I would like one with a hight cat on but that's another 150! Mother nature does not give me that

Really? Even though the 2.5L has shown to not respond positively at all with the addition of headers?

All you are doing is removing the air restriction caused by the cat. You arent rerouting entire columns of air, widening the pipes, or anything like that.

Plus the addition of headers with the right setups has proven some gains. I'd have to dig to find the threads, but they are out there.

So a catted pipe would be $225 + $150 + shipping?

side note: I had a b7 a4, and was anxiously waiting for the k0r-gt. But by the time it was ready for the market, i had an extra car from a family member bailing on a lease in my name, so I had to sell the A4. I guess you can call me a "long time listener, first time caller"

I did, and they already released the prices of what they were offering.
