Standard edition 30 exhaust ??

[182_blue]

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

yeh thats it, i guess i thought it would be quieter than the ST

I have to say i like the exhaust note on my ed30, its not silent and its not intrusive, just right for me.

as mine has done about 2500 miles it has changed and does sound better.

Done just over 8000 miles in my Ed 30 in about 12 months. Exhaust sounds great very growly just about right not too intrusive very good in tunnels or under bridges etc.

I would agree with Mrtibbs. Just crank the window down a little. 

Theres just a low growl when you need it. I would say the the there is not much diff. in the noise level between the standard exhaust and a miltek system ( after hearing Hurdys). However, you could tell it was "breathing" easier, in the way it reved.

So far I must say the ED30 engine/exhaust sound is very disappointing. Certainly sounds like a diesel at start up! After 6 odd years in my V6 4-Mo I am missing the Nascar rumble and whine... hopefully in time it will loosen up.

However, loving the turbo punch, it will take a while to get used to it...

If you want something better than stock get yourself a Milltek, sounds better and will give you a little popping if you want  not to mention release a little power.

My exhaust sounds pretty pathertic, but then I came from an unresonated Milltek on an R32 so anything sounds feeble compared to that. 

When  I went out on a test drive of an Ed30 the one I took out had a sporty sound to it, much more than mine has.

The more miles that I've got on the car the better it sounds

Not an Ed30 but my GTi is a bit quiet for me.

Ive thought mine sounded a bit 'rattly' on start up, very similar to a diesel.  Wasnt expecting that!! Should have listened more on the drive although it not the end of the world.
