Ok, what does your standard exhaust sound like, are they quite loud or is it my ultra sensitive hearing

Would'nt call mine loud   :undecided:

Sounds "meaty" at idle, and tootling round the Multi-storey, but apart from that it's fairly quiet on the open road.

do you have a different car from me ?  :grin:
In no way is the ED30 on mine loud , in fact I wish it had more presence than it does.
Outside yes it makes a nice subtle sound , inside I barely notice it.
In fact in general driving the tyre and wind roar are far more prominent.
Def a better sound at 6000 miles.

Personally I would want a Milltek for more feedback. Maybe I have a duff ED30 ?

Had a friend round on Sat with his RS4 avant , now thats 'feedback'  :cool:

My standard gti is also rather loud when i press the loud pedal.  I love it, just how a gti should sound to me.  Roars when gunning it but can be almost silent if you drive carefully.  Makes a nice burble when idling :cool:
