REAR Muffler delete

[MarcusAurelius]

The reason it will sound rice is because you don't have a turbo to knock out the first, annoying noise of the exhaust. On a 77tsi or GTI it will sound much different due to the turbo, which is why I am sure nomad and Marcus Aurelius have a more stock sounding car under normal conditions. Turbos are great mufflers

so when are we boosting the trendline?

Haha hell yeah turbo the 1.4! I tend to find with my rear muffler delete it will only ever drone (and its a DROOOONNNEEE) bang on 2000rpm. Any other time it's good. Just means I have to push it faster to keep it away from 2k haha. The turbo does help to keep the sound down through most of the rev range, but at that 2k...

[JexL]

Agreed 2k and 4k are loud haha

[Nuggos]

yeah thats the same as me, once its in higher gear its stock quiet
but omg today i did a short shift from 1-2 and i got the biggest fart/crack, so loud! hehehhe i like this mod alot

So what works best on the 1.4 Twin Charged GTI... for noise and go?

Apart from a 2 and 3/4 mandrel bent system.

For increased noise and less restriction, middle muffler. For noise alone, rear muffler.

I'll update this with a video shortly. My GTI will be going under surgery for a rear delete too, but I'll have a flange made so I can swap between the delete pipe and OEM muffler.

My mid resonator has already been taken away, so it'll be interesting how loud this would be.

Jesus HAAHHAH, this will be great!

I friend of mine deleted both mufflers, but soon came out a warning light (EPC I guess...)

He came back immediately to rear muffler delete only.
Compared to mine GTI (I have no middle muffler) the sound is a little louder and overall the BANG when upshift is more noticeable...


Here's his rear direct escape

[Hail22]

Doesn't sound too shabby for TSI owners...although it does drone a lot!

Just got a reply from ABT coincidentally and they said don't touch the resonator or do a muffler delete as part of the Centered exhaust kit is a short chamber to create a deeper tone...I knew it as my Brother usually hears me a block away going "Brrrrpppppphhhhttt" xD

[bigfoot]

sounds wicked
