2019 Golf GTI Mk7.5 PP Manual - Exhaust advice
« on: 12 August 2026, 21:21 »
Greetings. I have the above car and would like a more GTI exhaust note from it. I'm aware that it's fitted with an OPF, so I'm going to have challenges. However...

I am looking at an OPF-back Milltek system. The choice is between resonated and non-resonated. I have been advised that the resonated will take me to 'pre-opf stock-equivalent' sound, and that the non-resonated will give me a more sporty note. However, I am planning to do proper miles in this, so need it to behave, and not drone on motorway runs.

I am not after a beast. I'd simply like a more engaging note when driving. Does anyone have any experience of either the Milltek res or non-res on the opf-fitted GTI? Any thoughts, especially on cold start and motorway driving.

Many thanks in advance.

Phil - more interested in 'smiles per gallon' than mpg.

 I have a 69 plate PP and I'm actually surprised how good it sounds as standard

I went for the Cobra Sport (mk7) as the Milltec is too raspy for me. I preferred the deeper sound. I went for the Non Res and it is not loud at all under normal driving, it's just deeper but when you put your foot down it is loud but not obnoxious. In then end I went for the sports CAT as well.
