Aftermarket Exhaust - GTI PP

[dovejon]

Hi all,

I've just purchased a 66 plate GTI with the Performance Pack.

First thing I want to do to it is sort the exhaust as the stock one is quiet.

Not looking for anything too loud and certainly one that doesn't drone.  Price is also a factor.

What does everyone recommend?  Remus non-res is looking favourite so far, but thought I would ask the experts for teh answer!

Appreciate any advice you can give?

Cheers.

No replies so far and I don't have practical experience of actually fitting one!

However, I have looked into this, the Clubsport S back box (£350) sounds good, giving a relatively small improvement.

Not a brand I have any experience with, but a few tuners I have spoken with have recommended Scorpion systems (£700), I heard one in the metal and was impressed.

You could push the boat out and go for an Akrapovich, having heard one on a TCR, I don't feel it was worth the extra expenditure over the others mentioned?

As and when / if I change the exhaust on my CS, I would probably go for the Scorpion non res.

My advice would be think of your neighbours and keep the nice quiet exhaust.

As you can tell I'm not a fan of noisy exhausts, just unnecessary noise pollution, can't stand being woken up by some Corsa with a 4 inch exhaust and about as much power as a lawn mower 😂😂😂

I'm with GrahamT on this. There is a youth up the road from me with an old V reg GTI which has an exhaust  the size of an old metal dustbin. His car gives the impression that he's is a complete t0sser.

He plays his thumping bass music at full volume as well. What a clown!

Another vote for quiet exhausts. I'm really not sure what sort of statement someone with an excessively noisy exhaust is trying to make..... And apart from anything else, I live in a quiet neighbourhood and am a very early riser for work.

Remus is not the way to go if you are on a budget but IMO worth every penny as the build quality is second to none. I have the quad back box and love it, it is as quiet as the standard at start up but with a deeper rumble. Nice and meaty when you press the go pedal but not too loud to annoy yhe neighbours. I start out for work as 5am so had to factor that in to avoid war with the neighbours.

Now that does look nice, what was the retail on it? if you don't mind me asking!

[Finglonga]

It was a bargain £599 with valance 5 years ago, I "think" they are over £800 now.

I'd personally recommend the Milltek - I've got this one...

It's listed as non resonated but was (when I bought it) the quietest one they did. Its sound is what I'd call "Beefy but not loud".

Probably no louder than my neighbours Mk6 Golf GTI that's had a resonator delete fitted.

I like it as it's now got a sporty sound without sounding like a chavmobile.
