This morning I have had the rear muffler removed and some chrome tips added. I think that there is no noticeable difference on the city driving to the noise produced but will get on the highway this weekend for the drone test. Was cheaper to have the muffler removed and tip added than getting tips on to the muffler too!

there shouldnt be any drone at highway speeds mate
shouldnt notice any difference over stock
well my car didnt drone anyway!!!!
looks like a tidy job, the tips suit it wellVW: it aint just a car, its a way of life

There's a real burble 1600 - 1800rpm, and when you do a long back off at the right revs you'll hear it, but 95% of the time you'd never know. No more noise in cabin at speed, at least in my opinion.

Taken some highway drives now, and the note is deeper ever so slightly.
At idle it sounds better.
The soot now makes awesome swirly patters when you boot it too!
All around awesome mod.Comment

what was your main motivation to do it? removal of that dead weight?

Less restriction, better response, diesel now sounds quite "sporty" at certain revs. I like it a lot, and look forward to a decent full system. There is also enough weight in it to give Polar a seizure.2014 Skoda Yeti TDI Outdoor 4x4 | Audi Q3 CFGC repower | Darkside tune and Race Cams | Darkside dump pDPF | Wagner Comp IC | Snow Water Meth | Bilstein B6 H&R springs | Rays Homura 2x7 18 x 8" 255 Potenza Sports | Golf R subframe | Superpro sways and bushings | 034 engine mounts | MK6 GTI brakes |Comment

My motivation was it was cheaper to remove the muffler than add chome tips to it - so off she came and saved me about $100!
Yes it feel smoother as it comes on to boost. I don't have a DPF, so the soot out the back it heaps more evident than the downswept outlets.Comment

hmmm. another thing on the short term to do list. sounds good.
and, not that im big on road rage [i abhor tailgating], but sooting does come in handy when one feels like playing god every now and then. straight through as opposed to downswept eh?
have you had the dp done miki?Comment

I have stock down pipe - no DPF as it was the 103KW model.Comment

Anyone done this to a DPF equipped TDI? I need to do something like this on my GT because I've got an R32 rear bar for it now so Its the easiest way to get the outlets to go out the centre.2007 Black Magic VW Golf GT TDi, Latte Leather, Sunroof, Bluefin Superchip, 18" Detroits, APR lower torque arm insert, APR Carbon Fibre Cold Air Intake system, GTi sideskirts & front lip, R32 Rear Bar, GTi Steering wheel, RNS-510,Infinity BassLink Subwoofer,stubby antenna, R8 Oil Cap, Golf R front calipers, slotted front rotors, ceramic brake pads, LITEC LED tail-lights, Dension Gateway Five, Rear Emblem Reverse Camera, H&R Ultralow coil-overs, Badge-less front grilleComment

Any legal issues with removing the muffler?Golf GT Sport TDIComment

Technically most likely.Originally posted by jazd View Post
In practice all it is there for is noise reduction, but as the noise does not dramatically increase I can't see an issue.Comment

not unless it made the car too noisy, in the case of the diesels, it doesn't.
shouldn't be an issue. Although I wouldn't be surprised if it got pulled up in a roadworthy inspection...(imo)Comment
