noisy exhaust? 8v, standard.
« on: 01 October 2011, 19:02 »
Hey guys,
Im just wondering how loud all of your mk2 gti's are? Compared to most i see its very loud and is getting abit annoying. The exhaust isnt blowing anywhere and doesn't have any dents etc.....

Is it probably just the baffles wearing in the exhaust?  i have no idea how old it is (clearly isnt very new though!).

an oil change can tone down the exhaust note quite alot.

Just fitted an oem full exhaust system today. Its got a deep tone (like the previous pattern one) on idle. Once warm its very quiet.

Probably just the baffles inside have collapsed. Give the box a whack when its cold and it should give you an idea if that has happened.

Quiet standard exhaust and loud airbox/ induction for me!! My abf is almost silent when idling warm, and when driving gentle sounds tame, but when unleashing the fury she screams like she should. Any 1.0 corsa/fiesta/other sh!te can sound loud via exhaust, but hearing noise from under the hood rather than a 6" tailpipe wins for me anyday.
