Title: edition 35 growl
Post by: pottinger on 16 December 2013, 11:45
Hi guys

Ok, just wondering options IF now or in the future I wanted to change the Ed35's sound/power ?
IE
exhaust
intake
chip

I love the low growl the engine makes as standard and would love to rearly enhance that .....
Whats recommended and cost wise / DIY ability required.....
Which effect mpg the worst ....

Any advice much appreciated guys  :smiley:

cheers

You could always turn up the 'fake' engine and intake note generated by the soundaktor fitted on the ed35...  :grin:
On a serious note the soundaktor is the reason why the 35 sounds gruffer than the normal mk6 gti, personally I hate the noise it makes but have almost gotten used to it now and can tolerate it, will be looking to unplug it when I have my catback exhaust fitted though!

fair enough,

"is the reason why the 35 sounds gruffer than the normal mk6 gti"

and the fact its a different engine  :wink:

I suppose some will like it, some wont... my missus loves it over the standard mk6 gti we had... but then she likes shallow/fake noises  :shocked:

Different engine or not, sadly any aural improvement over the mk6 tsi other than slightly more diesel like tickover as the TFSi lump is a noisy old beast but I'll admit is more akin to a gti than the smoother mk6 tsi is a big fat VW fake lol! My ed35 with the soundaktor unplugged sounds no different to how my mk5 gti or my mk5 ed30 did..
