That's the one I'm thinking of too. Is it top quality and a good fit etc?

Which one did you go for?

Resonator delete from here - https://progressiveparts.com/vagsport-vw-golf-mk7-gti-clubsport-s-resonator-delete-pipe-kit

Sounds great, much more rasp from normal and nice on the up shift. What model is yours?

See they do fitting as well for £36.

NOW - 330e M Sport
GONE - 2018 Mk7.5 GTI Performance 5dr DSG, Tungsten Silver, 2017 Mk7.5 GTI 5dr DSG, Indium Grey

It’s really good quality, stainless steel and mandrel bent. I got it fitted by them and there was no issues at all, I would highly recommend.

Mines the 230PS Facelift. Yours will sound even better being the 245PS because they sound more meaty as standard. I got them to fit it, arrived at 9am and left before 10am. :cool:

Hmm bit far for me just for a Res delete pipe. Manchester aren't they?

Yes they are. You can buy online and get it fitted at a local garage I suppose, I live within reach of Manchester so it was quicker to get it fitted there than wait for delivery etc.

I know this may be unpopular (esp in the context of this thread!), but is it possble to do the opposite? Reduce the noise & pops underneath (wihout affecting performance)?

pfffft  :grin:

Wish my manual PP would pop and bang, my old Cooper S was great for doing it!

Golf has a few little pops on first start up but thats it, would this bring them out during driving?

Sounds good, been trying to decide on this for months now.  What's it like on the motorway? I figured I would find it too intrusive with a constant drone so it's put me off doing it so far.  I used to have a cherry bomb exhaust on my first car (Old mini) and it was so loud I got bored of it and went back to standard... don't want history to repeat itself!
