Winters went on today. Just need winter now. Can't believe how warm it is still.

VagSport res delete fitted at Progressive Parts in Manchester. Drive home was pretty steady with the wife and our little baby in the car but definitely made a big difference to the sound  :smiley:
Mark at Progressive is a great guy, definitely would recommend. The part is high quality so you see straight away why it’s a bit more but he said others just don’t quite fit or sound the same.

Turns out my 2018 (June) car has the extra petrol particulate filter which you can see in the pictures so needed slightly different sleeve but sorted no issues.

Any clips of the noise it makes now? Been trying to find a clip of the sound of a performance 7.5 with the res delete.

I thought it was you on their Facebook page and I even mentioned it on the exhaust options thread earlier. Then I decided you might not want me to steal your thunder so deleted my comment haha! Glad you're happy mate!

I struggled to find any clips.

That sounds really good in that clip, how was it coming back over snake? Any drone?

Can’t say I heard any drone but you can definitely tell it’s louder. Some people might not like that but then those will be the ones who are happy with the standard noise. Need to have a proper test in the car on my own  :grin:

I’ll try and video a cold start tomorrow as I have one from before the res delete as well.
