Default It certainly makes the engine louder. My CAPS times were a little better with it.

though, I believe if you go with a K04, those welds will melt, too. I noticed mine was leaking after 8 months and roughly 20k miles of use. I should have it back this week after getting it repaired under warranty. I'm only going to use it for when/if I need to pass inspection. Blame VAG for putting the cat right up against the turbo, but they did build it with a mild K03 in mind. Also, you'll notice a little less turbo lag with the HFC.

Default The welds melting on the Labree? Really? Plus....

Labree told me you cant pass emissions with it. I plan on having my blown stock cat rewelded and put on when I have to go in for emissions. Ill have to call him back to see whats up.

Default My car passed Colorado emissions with a LaBree with flying colors.

Probably could have passed with a test pipe. The car does smell better with the HFC.
