    The exhaust sounded quite good from the outside, a nice burble on idle and a throaty note when accelerating. On the inside - you cannot hear anything. These Germans definitely know how to sound insulate their cars.

    the 1000k's run-in period is starting to get closer and I can't wait to install an ECU stage 1 flash. The Tig standard is quite a zippy car (according to my friends), but to me it's just so sloooooow. Obviously coming from a stage 2 Golf R, you can understand why. I Might go with Unitronic. I am sure after the flash - the Tig's exhaust will even be louder and she'll have the performance to match her looks.

    Anyone think that the Tig needs lowered springs and wheel spacers? Found a site in Germany selling Eibach springs for the Tig, but I am not sure if they'll fit. These springs lowers the car 30mm.

            Any update on the video? How is the exhaust note inside/outside 4 months later?

                Hey guys sorry to hijack but didn’t want to start another thread on the similar thing 🤭

                I’m looking at getting the centre resonator removed on my brand new Golf Mk7.5 1.4 R-Line.

                I will do before and after videos and pictures but I’m wondering how the dealers will react to warrenty side of things when it goes in for a service?

                Currently the car is sitting in 500km and only a week old, should I wait longer to get it done or just doit?

                    Pretty sure they they will just not warranty the exhaust system, everything else should be fine.

                              For those who are considering this, I'm having it done right now. Will update this post with my findings soon.

                                I think the car is too noisy internally now (engine noise) so I will pass on making it any noisier. It disappoints me they did not put more effort into reducing the engine noise when the motor is working a bit hard.
