I wouldn't want them to be ridiculous, but it's performance hatch so should sound like one. For me, the CS40 has it perfect - well it did in this review so assume that's how they all sound?

From the inside it sounds like that CS has the Soundaktor turned up.
Mines a manual so no DSG parps but I don’t think it has any overrun noises like that one either. Never noticed any crackles or pops.
Maybe I just drive like an old fart myself!
It would be quite nice if there was a switchable option like on a Mini JCW sports exhaust where you could have the option of childish pops and crackles for when in the mood. My rural commute at 4:30am would be perfect for that!
