Title: Golf GTI 2019 pops and bangs?
Post by: MOX1Y on 20 May 2019, 20:00
Hi, I have a 2019 Golf GTI manual. I’ve had a Remus back box delete.
I was told it wouldn’t pop due to the new ppf.
 
Has anyone managed to get there’s to pop?

I haven’t. Just a playful woof!

No mods though.

I don’t think any GTI has ever really had what you’d class as proper pops and bangs. Maybe the R comes close  with the optional £3k Akrapovic exhaust. And think a Clubsport makes a few pops.

The childish pops and bangs have been mapped out so no newer golf will do it. The only way to have them is to remap the car and get the tuner to add a map back in.

Glad I'm not the only GTI  7.5 that thinks the pops and bangs are childish.....glad my 2019 hasn't got such rubbish.

Mine with a Remus res Axle back instead of a DSG fart there is a good loud crack when giving it some but I wouldn't want anything more. Normal driving it is like the original exhaust but deeper. like the Fords seem to have mapped into their ECU as it would soon become tiresome.

Welcome to the old folk’s home :grin: it’s possible to map the pops in on over-run but not sure about on gear change.

Me too with the pipe and cardi, I like a bit of noise from the exhaust but would find the pops and crackles way too embarrassing :whistle:

Our MK7 manual pops when the traction control cuts in for some reason, we have res delete :whistle:

It's good to have some noise from the exhaust. The Mk7 GTI sounds completely dull in stock form, with the exception of the CS versions. Ideally should be switchable so you can have some more noise when you or if you want it.

I don't mind a bit of noise but the pops and bangs are just silly, although saying that I love the i30N and that has rev matching and crackles  :grin: :grin:
I had the centre resonator replaced on mine under warranty and every since my exhaust has a nice little low down burble type noise 🤷‍♂️

I wouldn't want them to be ridiculous, but it's performance hatch so should sound like one. For me, the CS40 has it perfect - well it did in this review so assume that's how they all sound?

My sounds good, especially as the 7.5 P has a deeper exhaust noise now anyway. Get a few burbles and pops when cold. But more CS like would be even better. I can live without the DSG fart/bang though to be fair.

Unfortunately mine doesn't sound like that as standard Jim, it does still burble on overrun in sport mode but I think it's more subtle than the pops here. It did sound like the video when I had the Remus backbox delete though!

From the inside it sounds like that CS has the Soundaktor turned up.
Mines a manual so no DSG parps but I don’t think it has any overrun noises like that one either. Never noticed any crackles or pops.
Maybe I just drive like an old fart myself!

It would be quite nice if there was a switchable option like on a Mini JCW sports exhaust where you could have the option of childish pops and crackles for when in the mood. My rural commute at 4:30am would be perfect for that!
