Again apologies but after trying numerous search words and going back 20 pages I can’t find an answer but equally I’m sure it will have been covered.
The 7.5 on test drive felt like it wanted to cough on the downshift. Now I understand this happened on the 7 but emissions on the 7.5 mutes it. Is it recoverable and can you have it mapped back in, a subtle downshift shout would sound nice I think
-
I don't think its a map problem, its the GPF.
-
Pops and bangs can be mapped back in but I think you'd need to remove the gpf too.
-
Seems to be plenty of tuners who map some exhaust pops/crackles/rice crispy sounds in.
DMS are very reputable. 230ps model making 305bhp which is a nice bit of extra power plus exhaust sound.

That’s my Golf in the picture... :cool: I probably should have washed it first.
It does make a better noise, especially in sport mode. It’s not a huge difference, but it’s there.
-
Does the mk7 ‘parp’ on a downshift? Never noticed mine do this
-
I get parps on upsifts, can’t say I’ve noticed anything on the downshifts tho...
-
I get rev matching on downshifts, with my DSG, when in S gearbox mode and manual. VW engine noise is a bit behind the curve just now, but it needs to be switchable IMO. Couldn’t live with pos, bangs and crackles all the time!

I find the pops, bangs etc very discreet. I have the soundaktor switched off, which might help. I also find using the different drive modes make no difference to exhaust noise what so ever too.
I notice pops & bangs most when I drive in manual, and change up a gear at fairly high revs while pushing the car a little harder than “normal/relaxed” driving. Then I get a nice clear parp, that’s very amusing! That will happen to the same volume regardless of which drive mode I’m in. Even comfort. I don’t think sport gives me any thing extra in terms of sound now the fake soundaktor is switched off.
Do others find the same?
-
my mk7 rev matches in certain modes but not noticed a downshift parp.
is the soundaktor present on all models and if it is switchable, which menu is this in? cheers.

Yes all performance Golf Mk7.x's have it.
If you want an easy fix, select individual mode, change the engine noise in there.
Later cars have a volume slider, earlier ones, quietest is "eco".
Its still on a bit but barely.
Completely off is achieved by disconnecting the thing or using VCDS/OBD11 etc to disable it

Mine's 2019 but I haven't seen a volume slider, where's that then? Currently run in Individual, engine sound on Eco..

I have a 2014 GTI.
It has individual drive modes but sound wasn’t a option on my model.
I had my garage (indi vw specialist) un plug it when they last had it in for service. Otherwise you have to code it out with a OB11 or similar tool.

No volume slider here, either Fred! Mines on 0%, courtesy of Carista.
