Where are you based?
There might be an owner local to you?

I have the Resonated and wish I had the non resonated.

Have a look at the below topics - they offer some viewpoints on other exhausts than Milltek. Make sure you research the market to see what best suits you. Overall, there are around five good exhaust manufacturers that offer great products for the TFSI engine. However, you can't go wrong with a Milltek in all honesty!

http://www.golfgtiforum.co.uk/index.php?topic=90980.0 - better towards the latter pages of the topic

http://www.golfgtiforum.co.uk/index.php?topic=95852.0 - good for pics/videos of the APR exhaust.

Hope this helps,
Chris.

Based in the Highlands so got heaps of road to play with :smiley: :smiley: :smiley:

Unfortunately no one around here got a gti never mind with an exhaust on it.

Just want to know if exhaust sounds too noisy inside( if only exhaust sounded noisy outside then I wouldnt have hit that stag the other night). Never mind got away lightly, only broke headlight and it stole my damn gti badge!!

Greenouse on here has the full Turbo Back Milltek and it sounds awesome. Its only really noticeable when you press the loud pedal but makes a massive difference to the performance aswell. Roadrunner on the ebay link above are the best people to go to as if you ring them they will usually do you a good deal. Once I have the funds I will be in touch with them for mine!

Cat back, for time being anyway. Looks and noise is what i'm after myself.

Where did you get exhaust and how much(bit cheeky I know)?

Cat back non res milltek is Not obtrusive in my opinion. Been out in a couple of GTi's with these and i was plesently surprised there isnt too much noise difference on the inside, untill you wind the window down and admire the improved soundtrack  :wink:. that and the Turbo whistling, she'll sound a very good 4 pot indeed.

I for one are saving to get one aswell....eventually  :smiley:
