Don't forget that DNA Tuning have a tune for the R36 engine. They are a sponsor on this forum and they have a thread in their area with details on the R36 tune. Cost is around $800.
I have a DNA tune on my Golf R and it rocks, excellent bank for your buck.
Each to their own I guess....for me - it needs to be louder. Have you ever stood behind one when it takes off - it's surprising how quiet it is - I didn't believe it till I did it. I have heard a few with cat-back exhausts and the sound is perfect – a really great note – it almost sounds a little like a V8. I know I have had to be careful when choosing which one I will go with as some of them have been described as too loud or have drone tendencies.
I think you would have to admit when compared with the Golf R32 or R, or even cars like a BMW 335i – the R36 is noticeably quieter. My mate has a Golf R and when we take off together at the lights the R drowns out the R36.
The two rear back boxes are going to be replaced with 3" stainless pipes at c-red in beckenham.
They work on my S15 track car, so I have faith in the work they do
They have suggested making it detachable via flanges so the OEM boxes can go back on if needed without too much effort.
I'll hopefully have some before/after clips to see if is an approach that could work for others.
Don't get on here much anymore but I've had a bit of work done to my wagon which overall im pretty happy with. Exh/hi flow cats/tune/dsg tune/cai
Pm me if you want more details assuming you haven't spent $yet
Hi all,
Been away from this forum for a while and just saw this thread.
A few years back a few of us on here did a group order for custom cat-backs from Evolve Technik (Peter Fitzgerald) and I think I was the only wagon, the rest all sedans.
I've heard that some of the sedans have taken them off, but mine still sounds great. The rear mufflers on the wagon are slightly longer I believe and produce a meatier and deeper sound than the sedans, and doesn't drone at all.
I'm in Melbourne and happy to meet-up with people that are interested and want to have a listen.
Cheers,
Maarten
