    gti exhaust

    my son has jus bought a mk5 gti and typically want to make it to sound a bit better. all the post seem to suggest removing the resonator. i suspect they are straight thru, so wouldn't replacing the rear muffler be better as well as letting it breather a bit better?

    cheers

    Removing the resonator will make a significant difference to the noise level if that's what he's looking for.

      Don't remove the resonator, it'll drone and sound terrible. I've heard a couple in person. Get a 3" Downpipe from the likes of SPM, APR, VIEZU, etc and you'll enjoy extra noise without legalities. You will require a re-tune to remove a CEL as the car will get cranky. Most tuning companies will package deal a Tune and a Downpipe.

      A Downpipe will help low-end torque, product more power with the added noise.

      If he just wants noise, no tune, and no extra power, then get a Cat-Back. It'll be louder than the Downpipe and it's simply a noise thing.

        with the resonator, that's what i thought, yet it seems to be a common mod. i'll tell the son to save and do it properly(dump pipe and tune)

          Yes spend the money on a proper exhaust system otherwise you end up with a really noisy car which is a pain to drive - preferably with a resonator.
