Welcome to the new look VWWatercooled

After much work and little sleep there is a new version of the forums running on more powerful and recent hardware as well as an upgraded software platform.

Things are mostly the same, but some things are a little different. We will be learning together, so please post questions (and answers if you've worked things out) in the help thread.

    Removing the middle resonator

    Removing middle resonator on gti

    Hi guys love to upgrade my exhaust but due to new baby that's on hold for a little while. question if I remove the middle resonator how much louder will this make the exhaust? I want to get a Dumppipe at some point what will happen noise wise then??

    Thanks

    I would buy someone else's 2nd hand stock catback if you want to experiment with removing the resonator. 2nd hand catback's will only cost you $50-100 and then probably $100 max to have the resonator cut out and replaced with a straight piece of pipe.

    I'd recommend doing this so that if you do not like it, you can put your original catback back on the car.

      i got this done on the weekend mate!
      it does make it slightly louder, but nothing too ridiculous.
      give the car a nice rumble on idle though!
      no bad droning on the hight either.
      this was on a mk3 vr6 so i cant see a gti being much worse.
