It's ready :grin:

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!

It’s only when you’re on boost that you hear it so tootling at 70/80 in 6th/7th is as silent as standard.

I’ve just had the Milltek race catback (non-res) fitted and love it. Its exactly what i wanted. Only slightly louder than stock when driving normally but plenty of drama when pushing on. The system in itself is top quality, the welds and fitment speak for itself. Would recommend.

I'm tempted to go stage 2 with my CS which would mean intake, intercooler and full system. Just curious what you did with the old exhaust system, did you keep it or sell it or bin it?

Made a quick comparison of start up noise between my previous Mk7.5 230 (grey) and my new 245 Performance model.

New one definitely a deeper noise and more crackles on way down.

Fitted a VAG Sport res-delete a few weeks ago. Slightly louder, slightly ‘growlier’ no drone at any revs.
Fitted the Clubsport S backbox today. Slightly louder again without sounding at all obnoxious and ‘aftermarket.’ Lots of growl and burble. Much quicker to respond to throttle than GTI box.
Absolutely perfect, proper sound now for a GTI in my opinion.
