On my 2009 GTI it sounded quite pronounced, yet on my 2011 GTI it is hardly noticeable. Wonder if you can mess with it on VCDS?

...and I thought it was only on US/European cars?
A LHD thing maybe?

Do the UK cars have this noise pipe thingy?

If it looks like the thing pictured on the US sites...mine does NOT have it. I've just been and checked.

I'm sure it's a US only thing.

This is the physical pipe thingy...nothing to say there isn't a 'speaker' somewhere.

My59 plate GTI had the induction pipe and my ED35 has the speaker. Induction pipe sounded better at lower revs and speaker better over 4000 rpm. Wish I could modify it to just work over 4000.
