I was fortunate that it was already coded out on mine but another one I test drove it was active and hated it.

I turned my engine noise to eco, not sure how much better it'd be if I removed it completely but I'm happy with it for now, hear the exhaust better and sounds far more natural.

I coded mine out and then sold the car - but forgot to switch it back on again!

I turned off with the Carista App, best thing I've done to the car so far.

I find my stock GTi very quiet, would turning it off make it even quieter?

That was my first job when I got the car home, pull the scuttle trim up and squeeze my hand in and disconnect it. It's a tight fit though, my hand was sore for days afterwards....... :nerd:
