What make exhaust is it? If it's a Milltek non resonated you could get a resonated one to quieten it.
If not then I have no idea other than buying a quieter exhaust.
I can't see any point in going beyond stage 1 on a road car unless you're going to do track days. If you do track days you have to make compromises as every mod you make needs another mod in another area to restore the famous GTI balance of components.
I hope you're running big brakes if you've gone stage 2.
How about just getting an R and going stage 1. 300bhp and quiet as you like, decent traction and decent brakes.
