It's been a good long time since I drove the demo GTI but I'm fairly sure it was making some satisfying grumbly popping noises from the exhaust occasionally. I've not noticed any of that from my car, was I just imagining it? If not, what causes it and what am I not doing?
-
the GTD makes an wesome grumbly (and almost popping) noise when being, erm... hammered/pushed/used :) - but that might just be the diesel crying :)
-
DSG? they seem to make more pops and crackles then manuals
-
Up shifting under hard acceleration makes the exhaust pop. You can barely hear it in the drivers seat. People in the back always comment on it.
-
Fold ya back seats down for more exhaust noise, or at least the middle bit

MrSavage has a DSG, they do this
I am yet to hear of a manual making any 'other' noises either on overrun or upshift
(and would love to put a proper exhaust on mine to achieve such fruityness!)

My Dsg pops , i hear it a lot, and when i take my mates to football they all comment and have a smile on their faces when they hear the noises it makes

The manual cars will do it as well, provided you're aggressive enough.
