I need my GTI to sound more aggressive

Just like everyone else here has suggested you need a remap for the full turbo back exhaust system. There are many companies that do remaps APR, REVO and Giac are just some names to go by.

I have the full race system.

You have mentioned you have once beed revo stage 1 but didn't like it and removed it...So judging by that your not looking for any performance gains?  If so I would just recommend you getting a custom exhaust and just tell them how loud you want it. This way you be saving money because you don't need the remaps ect.

Just fit a full exhaust system, you dont need to remap at all unless you run a high flow cat (100 cel).

This will give you the sound you want.

I didn't like revo stage 1 because after trying it for a while, I didn't  think it made that much of a difference to the car to justify paying 700 euro for it.  I'd love the extra horsepower within reason cost-wise but mostly I'd like the car to sound more aggressive.  now if the difference between extra sound and extra sound + bhp is not that great, i'll consider having both, if not then you're right, i'll just go with the sound.

I was wondering, is it possible to have the extra sound without messing with the factory exhaust (i.e. tail pipes)?  I really love their looks and would want to keep them on the car.

I sort of know what you mean. I had the Revo free trial on my Leon Cupra at GTI International back in about 2003. Despite it giving it the legs of an 2000 Impreza on the A14, and there been a noticeable drop in power when the 5 hours trial ran out, it didn't "feel" £500 faster. (or whatever it was back then)

About a year later I bought a cat back Milltek for it. I felt that was money better spent. Not only did it look better as it filled the cutout in the bumper better, it had a nice subtle burble to it, that only those that know would notice.

Why not just get a non resonated cat back or remove the resonator from the standard exhaust.

A custom exhaust shop wouldn't charge much to cut the old one Ou and weld in a pipe or you could buy a decent cat back for about £450 which sound alot nicer.

If you don't want extra performance no point going for downpipe and remap. I it's just noise and looks you want get a cat back system

Mji performance want £300 ish for one of theirs fitted, that s with custom exhaust note and a selection of tips.

I hear you.  removing the resonator from the standard exhaust may do the trick and sounds cheaper... I'll open up a new post asking about this then ...
