Project 145TSI

[BenT]

So, just when I thought this project was all done except for the wheels, I have been told the GTI exhaust is too quiet

Sourced a GTI Supersprint exhaust 2.75" with 4" tips LOL and fitted it.

Now it has the required burble and noise I'm told

LOL, I wish

I'll take a video this weekend

Funny thing, the Supersprint is/was advertised as a 3" system, but upon measuring it, it really is 2.75" . It is a big difference from the 2" stock 1.4TSI but only 0.25" more than a stock GTI.

Stock GTI


Supersprint

Not the best video, but you can hear its a lot deaper sounding than a stock TSI.

Sounds very Mk6 GTI-ish if you ask me which is no bad thing. (I used to have a Mk6 GTI with aftermarket exhaust)

In my view that has to be the best sounding TSI out there .....

It sounds better than my R that is for sure. Actively looking for an exhaust for the R as a result

[FarQ]

love the BoV sound... haha

[BenT]

Very gratuitous. I love it!

So, having 2 sets of suitable wheels, I'm struggling to decide what rim to use for the next upgrade.

Either Spielberg 19" R wheels (I have a spare set ) or the refurbished 17" Audi S-Line rims in gloss black.

My preference (and my daughter's) is the 17s .... though everybody else I've spoken to prefers the 19s.

BTW, also did max legal tint allround last week.

[Lucas_R]

Harsher ride on the 19's but they look better and the silver machined finish compliments the white paintwork on the car.

Black wheels have been done to death IMO.

.... though everybody else I've spoken to prefers the 19s.

Seeing as you are asking for opinions.... I'm with everybody else.

To my mind black wheels tend to merge into the tyre and the wheel well so you don't notice them as much.

but ETTO and all that

[BenT]

I like both, but not at the same time. [emoji1787]

What tyres are on each set?

17’s will have much better ride quality... I went from 19’s to 18’s and it’s a lot better!
