6R Polo GTI Middle Muffler Delete

Mate, honestly it sounds exactly the same. The only difference is when there is load on the engine, i.e opened throttle.

Yeah as Gavs said the sound at cruise speeds is pretty much unchanged. Its more noticable on cold start up and has a nice meatier sound under load.
I've found the best way to get the DSG pop/fart is a full throttle shift at around 4/4500rpm. Did it in a tunnel the other day and sounded epic

There's another vid on my channel of a night run at the RNP. There's alot of road noise but sound gets better about 3 minutes in with the windows up.

Thanks for the vids. How are you finding the resonator delete? Do you have any issues like what ATYPIC had?

Nah mate, no problems at all with mine.

I saw a black Polo GTI today that sounded a lot like the ones with the Resonator removed going down Springvale Road at about 17:40. Couldn't manage to get a big enough traffic gap to catch them though.

OK, the 6 cars above have been booked into Castle Hill Exhaust for centre muffler removal.

Time: Saturday, 3rd November 8:00am.
Address: Unit 68, 4 Hoyle Ave, Castle Hill, 2154
Cost: $80 each (basic job only - discuss with installer on the day for any fancy flanges etc)

They have allowed 40mins per car. Please show up at 8am. They close at midday. So you'll be home to your wives/girlfriends by lunchtime.

I have already paid a $200 deposit for the booking since their hoist will be not available for other jobs.
So please, if you have to drop out, find someone to take your spot.


Any other polo owners wanting to join us on the day and chew the fat in the car park is welcome. I will have a VCDS cable/laptop on hand.

Unfortunately I'm no longer able to make this date due to work commitments. Is there anyone who wants to take my spot?

I still might pop in and take a look and if there's time get it done as well. I've got a 30th that arvo though.

I'm going to call them on Monday and reduce the booking to 4 cars unless anyone wants to join us and confirms by posting here before then.
