6R Polo GTI Middle Muffler Delete

[car_nut]

Finally received my Milltek cat back. Took over 6 weeks UK - Germany - Australia.

I had it fitted today and am very pleased with the result. The standard Milltek cat back retains the existing resonator or mid muffler which I did not want. Ended up with a small 3" SS resonator and SS connecting tubing -

I will post a before and after audio/video of exhaust note in next week.

Hi Guys,


I'm looking at doing the Middle Muffler Delete on my GTI, anyone have any recommendations on exhaust shops in Melbourne east?

Inside the car is it a lot louder than standard? Would I be loud enough for the gf to complain?

You have not done a quote so I am assuming, probably incorrectly, that your question is aimed at the previous post ie Milltek.

I think the gf would be happy. Lol. Without a very small resonator she might not be.

It is a lot louder inside but most when pushed very hard, say >4,000rpm. No more noise inside than std when held at a steady or same speed.

My Mrs hasn't even noticed the difference. It's more sporty in my opinion, and you get a few pops and crackles, but it's not significantly louder.

Hey mate just wanted to check with you, does removing the resonator create more 'drone' in the cabin, especially when cruising at speeds above 100km/h?

Thanks

Nope. Only when you are "going for it".

I was totally "going for it" but found out there's less drone once you're over 115 clicks, but yes the drone should be around if you lead foot it past 101 clicks... but then hey, I might not know what I'm talking about so lol//
