Does the Polo Gti exhaust 'fart'?

[Molotov]

Love the 'blip'/'fart' in the Golf but I've never actually driven the Polo Gti.

The Polo GTi does downshift with a blip, but fart? i dont think so. As they got the tuning right with the Polo GTI, they stuffed it in the Golf's

Yes i believe they do. There is a guy who lives near me (i see the car quite regularily) with a current shape Polo GTi and i hear it "fart" when it goes up through the gears. I dont think the noise is quite as prominent as it is with the Golf's, but its still there as far as my ears tell me.

PS - you can hear it in this short video:

This farty enough? Polo GTI with Milltek exhaust, very impressive in real life!

Help me find a camera that won't fall off the back of the Polo (due to drag caused by the hatch back Aerodynamics/physics 101 suggest it will be pulled off).

I will do a video of my Polo "TSI" ABT blurt o-tron as the ABT Cat back/diffuser can be used for the GTI

GoPro HD? Comes with a mount for cars. If not check the latest issue of Motor Mag, have a Buyers Guide (sorta) towards the end on video recorders suitable for motorsport use

Thanks for the replies guys. The Millitek exhaust reminds of what happened last time I drank a litre of milk.

To answer your question, from the factory no, it doesn't. With an aftermarket exhaust like the milltek that removes the centre muffler, yes, you can hear it.

not unless you give it some curry (i.e. miltek)

Thanks Gavs. So it's not the same as the Mk6 in that respect?

I've heard others call the Mk6 noise a DSG burp/blip/fart. Is it the exhast or the transmission that 'causes' it?

[gavs]

It's the exhaust, when you change up gears with the dsg, the ecu cuts the spark to the coilpacks and this is what causes the blurt/pop/fart etc. With th ecentre muffler removal, it becomes evident. With a bigger exhaust, it becomes further evident. With a nice striahgt through system, i'm sure it would be further enhanced

Going to take a look, thank you Oscar the grouch

Cheers man!

+1 for GO Pro HDs. I use one for spearfishing. They pack a lot of punch for a small unit and are perfect for mounting on/in cars.
