REAR Muffler delete

[Nuggos]

Jesus HAAHHAH, this will be great!

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.

looking forwars to it bud, excited!!!

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

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

sounds wicked

Just what ever you do don't do a mid resonator delete on the 1.2 TSI. I did this on mine and hated it and changed it back - and then did the rear delete . It doesn't make the exhaust note any louder or deeper except car sounds like its throwing up everywhere especially at idle. Only do the rear or nothing haha

hmm I can't really agree there, my exhaust blurts a little but nowhere near loud enough to hear a block away? There is not really a "Brrrrpppppphhhhttt" coming from my car.. It's more a short (and not very loud either) "Pop"

Edit: more like this, minus the exhaust sound but purely the pop

Well, i think my trendline sounds pretty awesome with the rear delete! Farts and cracks are just addictive, ESP in tunnels and whatnot, ohhh its so loud!
Must do a comparison with the TSI to see if the turbo changes the note a lot

That's extremely weird seeing as we both have the same kit / setup...I get a distinct brrrrppphhhttt when shifting in D / sport.

Also how much throttle you supply effects the duration of the pop. Half throttle or above at 4000rpm above will give the longest bluuuuuurrrttt because the engine has to cut the ignition slightly longer (and you will notice the gear change will be quicker). If you baby the throttle you can barely hear it. Could just be the difference between your driving style
