Can't go wrong with either Milltek or scorpion although not much in the way of development yet for the MK7

Not straight away Barry

I'll see how it sounds in the first place and then may decide to upgrade if it's not to my liking

Akrapovic will launch a series for the MK7 early next year...

I have used this firms exhausts and rate them highly, they're beautifully made and sound great. The resale value is also good.  There's plenty of youtube vids of the mk6 with Akrapovic...

To OP: How to make the GTI sound better....


Sell it and buy an Audi R8 Plus! (Someone did a crazy comparison test with these 2, it's on Youtube.)

I think the best additon Ive seen to the GTI is the PP option, sounds like a proper bargain. Shame there's no similar offering for the GTD. My mk6 GTD could be found wanting entrying corners, its way to vague for my liking.

Akrapovic offer a system for the MK6 GTD too so will more han likely do the same for mk7.
