It's normal, also irrespective of exhaust system.

I think it's injector noise you can hear, the fuel system run's at massive pressure compared to lesser cars.  :smiley:

It's a small 'price' to pay for what is a superb engine. :smiley:

The smallest touch to the throttle and any tappet noise soon is gone  :wink:  lol, someone once said "is it a diesel?" when it was at idle. They wont be coming in it again.

IMHO GTI sounds much better on the far side of 5000 rpm than both the VXR and Megane Renault Sport. After giving it large in first gear and then in to second with your foot off throttle, turbo makes quite a nice "de-spooling" noise too  :smiley:
