Still not done xD placed an order for TUV approved Polo R rallying rear guard and front tyre guard, then 18' Talladegas (awaiting for analysis and crush test from the UK since it will be built in 5x100 rather than standard).
Yes Yes If anyone is interested when the car is complete i will spew out all the details/contacts.
R Badge ordered via VW with a mates Golf R Vin number (you need to have the VIN number of the car to get a certain part)
Hail22: Am loving the center tail pipes and that sweet carbon-ish diffuser bit! You gotta give it up to ABT for having probably one of the most aesthetic pleasing looking exhaust kits around for the 6R.
I have always been uber curious about how the ABT exhaust sounds on the TSI, do you happen to have any videos/sound clips?

No videos of my own, however i have links to some people who have linked it on the tube.
However off the line on the lights, she blurts like a bit*h xD
I will say it once and maybe again in the future the cost of this setup is definitely worth it!
I think the top link is of a 1.2 Three cylinder N/A engine not the 1.2 Four cylinder TSI engine. I do like the rear diffuser on your car though, very nice VW really should release a Polo R, hopefully with a manual version too!

Based on what I experienced without the resonator, besides the obvious fact that it gets much noticeably louder, the exhaust note tends to be a little more 'hollow-ish' sounding, and a little higher pitched. Also the DSG 'pop' is significantly more audible without the resonator, however it is more of a crackling sounding 'pop' as opposed to a bassy sounding 'pop' (with the resonator). Do prepare for lots of cabin drone though!
It terms of feel, I could significantly notice the difference in air-flow between both resonated and non-resonated setups. I much prefer the non-resonated setup but too many complains about the noise
Thnx for that clear response! I'm afraid it might get too loud though. Might look into a FOX resonator, as far as I know no one else sells them..

I will get one however if it comes in 2 years (new car every 3 years).
Its funny you mention the new car every 3 years deal - because I've been doing it with Toyotas (Yaris, now Aurion) for the past 6 - this will be my first VW.
HOWEVER.
My experience so far is that I will have to chose what VW i subsequently want after only 2 years, since i will wait 12 months to receive what I order!
If I want to go for a Sirocco R, i think i will need to order one after being in my Polo GTI for only 18 months!

Not really if you go for the pre launch sales you get the first car on the lot.
Most of the Scirocco owners ordered before the official sale date as there were cars already in production.
My advice is wait...Mk7 Golf is out this year (October/November) which means next year will be the GTI/R
Hey guys, didn't manage to do a take-off video of my exhaust set-up with the resonator as I have been pretty darn busy, but if anyone is interested, I did put it on the dyno today and had some short videos taken, once again don't mind the cell-phone quality of the videos,

if you dont mind me asking, how much did the custom exhaust cost you all up? im thinking of getting a similar thing done up by ultimate performance exhausts here in Brisbane. sorry if someone has already ask. plus has anyone here used ultimate performance exhausts in brendale?
If not too late/ you haven't done it yet... I've done it today, 2010 polo 1.2 dsg. 3inch pipe, no resonator and high flow muffler on the end. They couldn't put bigger cats as there's too many wires to change it from there which would've resulted in engine warning lights. instead started from just below and put the straight pipes with muffler and chrome tip. It goes a bit faster, but sounds a lot better in combination with the k&n air pod filter. Has a raspy sound between 1000-3500 rpms and 3500-6000 has quite a nice grunt due to the turbo.. Cost me $750.. If you live in nsw and they're near go see John At carline in mortdale on boundary road.
Just got a Polo 6R 77TSI and wanted a meatier sounding exhaust, but not loud all the time. How has yours been and held up? I'm in Campbelltown NSW, so wondering if John still there at Carline? Also what xenons did you use, trying to find some that won't light up the warning lamp on the dash. Any help would be great!
