GTD Sound Actuator

[KyleB]

Great pics Carlos, calipers look good. Exhaust is definitely different to mine too so sport and sound pack must alter exhaust

Would love to hear it if you could post a video maypte.

Nice one Carlos - that does look like the German version with the loudspeaker system in the exhaust (will there be a Dynaudio option? )
Full marks to VW for more misleading online descriptions - underselling for a change...

My cars due to be built next week and I managed to spec the sport and sound so I hope this is the package I receive. Based on the GTI pictures pure white and the red really goes together well.

This thread seems to give a bit more detail on the system.

Anyone know if it might be possible to buy the exhaust section separately? I don't want the speaker in the exhaust (that just seems weird), but removing the rear box should give it a bit more of a grumble.

That's quite a grumble, surprising they don't offer that on Euro GTI models too?

Had it shown me the exhaust on the configurator I would likely have specced it. Having no clue what the package did from the configurator description, I'm surprised anyone did!

Just had my GTD delivered today at home - I ordered it back in August when there was no Sport and Sound pack, however it definately has the actuator fitted and sounds a beast in Sport mode even at low ish revs - the exhaust however is standard system - the car was built just before Christmas

Having had 5 BMWs and 2 Mercs before this I must say the fit and finish is just as good and the carbon grey paint work looks stunning even on a damp dull day like today.

Congrats on the car!

Glad you see it didn't take you too long to stick it in sport and take it for a spin  How do you find how it holds on to 2nd with DSG..?

Thanks Jivemonkey.

It is only the beginning but I can already feel a love affair brewing...

I put it in Sport on the touch screen of display - I assume this puts the gearbox into sport too - only did it once out of a junction and it sounded great going up through the gears but I did not want to rev it over 3000rpm yet. She had only 7 miles on the clock this morning.

Got a trip to Gloucestershire Thursday - back Friday, so it should have 500 miles clocked then and can hopefully report what it is like in more detail.

Hi

Fantastic looking car, I ordered mine in November with the Sport & Sound Pack, it is due at the end of March so am keeping fingers crossed it will have the difference exhaust and red callipers.

Enjoy
