Golf R Valvetronic Exhaust
very nice that you can select the sound

[andrew7]

Yes that is a next level exhaust

[Splashalot]

Sounds hollow and farty. I prefer the stock sound - esp inside the cabin - much meatier.

[sekas]

^thats the soundactuator you can hear when its in stock mode. When its open its louder then that so you cant hear it

An exhaust that houses the butterfly valves as per the stock exhaust (ie. Milltek) works with the OEM Eco/Normal/Race modes to change the sound of the exhaust.

That thing is just another remote to lose and another thing to break.

Keen to hear what the iPE one sounds like when it is ready.

Also sekas, the Discover Pro comes in at approx ~$1400AUD after conversion. I dont imagine shipping would be much but the local installation+ will cost a bit I am guessing.

[sekas]

Cheers for that.
The FiE/iPE is what im waiting for. Im currently in negotiations with them dependant on the finished product. They both are in development at the moment.
I may be going that way as apparently the milltek is as heavy as the standard exhaust

^ Thanks Kimba, I haven't adjusted the volume yet but have a mate nearby with a VCDS cable so that will be a good thing to action next week (along with a few other VCDS tweaks I have been wanting to do) BTW, what volume did you adjust down to (60% seems to be a common target)?

Yes found 60% best setting

If you can hold off, I hear that Akrapovic is currently developing titanium Exhaust for the R. Maybe another GB

Ordered 7R in black with sunroof and leather end of November with delivery before the end of January? Seems a bit quick. MY15 though.

Since we only get 3 options plus colour choices I think they just pump out common configurations.

My MY15 in white with DAP plus Leather was only meant to be 2 weeks from deposit to delivery but got delayed a week. From memory anyway, it may have been 3 weeks then went to 4 weeks.

I hope it gets here on time. Really don't want to have to pay the renewal rego in the car I'm trading in lol. Already got an exhaust and tune lined up so should be exciting days ahead.

Hmm I'm not sure if I can tell anyone yet on public forums lol. You'll just have to wait I guess.
