REAR Muffler delete

[nomadx38]

I was quoted about 100$ for the job. this included pipe (51mm mild steel) from the straight just after the resonator to the back (and I tell you there are A LOT of bends) and the welding of metal brackets onto the pipe. Could cost a bit more for you as I allready have an exhaust clamp, which you may need to get.

right thanks, sounds well within my budget.

to be precise, I have had the rear muffler cut before it and a straight 51mm stainless steel pipe welded in its exact place. no bends replaced. set be back 110. and the stainless would give you a much different note

I was actually considering just getting a muffler put in which would enhance the engine note (growly) without creating too much noise. Not sure on it though.

Might throw it out there thinking of rear muffler delete on my Rocco R... please dont laugh at me if this is a stupid suggestion

This is what I am thinking



What are thoughts and does anyone know of a video so i can hear it before buying it!?

^ dont do it - it will sound awful.

Maybe it would be a question better posted in the Scirocco section

Acually I did this to mine the other day and I love it but I think it is VERY engine dependent on the sound / loudness.

Mine been a 1.2T it's still very loud when the turbo is in use but at idle / coasting its quiet as stock. To me it's a good compromise, but it does mean that when you cruise up hills and the turbo is going there is a lot of drone.

The DSG fart is wicked though, can hear it a mile away XD

Also if you check the rest of this thread there is a YouTube video of the "BILT" Polo in which has this modification done.

Jake, after you left LeMans the other night, Eddie and I were in awe about the sound of your car.. it sounds wicked now with the rear muffler delete. Not tinny at all compared to when you had the mid done.

Lol I think it sounds better than a GTI that has just the mid muffler delete

We KNOW it sounds better LOL

Time to try it out!!!
