TSI exhaust mods

**FJ Steve** · 29-12-2010, 12:42 PM

So...who's done what? Who's planning on doing anything?

For us...it's not about gaining more power (well, that's not #1 priority). Looking to get a bit of a 'note' from the 1.2L donk (via the exhaust). Air intake mods don't do it for me....want a better a sound from the back.

Thoughts?

Haven't seen much available as yet.

Sprintsprint list one for the 77TSI on their site as "available soon"

ABT have their center exhaust + rear apron set though I've yet to see any reviews of this, not sure if it's widely available. There's a short (French) review of a kitted ABT 6R on YouTube, search for "ABT Polo actiontuning.fr"

I deleted the rear box on the golf, and it doesn't sound any meatier, a bit raspier, but that's it. It has a woosh sound at WOT which I'm going to try to sort out. Probably straight pipes and a hotdog muffler.

If not too late/ you haven't done it yet... I've done it today, 2010 polo 1.2 dsg. 3inch pipe, no resonator and high flow muffler on the end. They couldn't put bigger cats as there's too many wires to change it from there which would've resulted in engine warning lights. instead started from just below and put the straight pipes with muffler and chrome tip. It goes a bit faster, but sounds a lot better in combination with the k&n air pod filter. Has a raspy sound between 1000-3500 rpms and 3500-6000 has quite a nice grunt due to the turbo.. Cost me $750.. If you live in nsw and they're near go see John At carline in mortdale on boundary road.

This is not my car by any means but it's a video of the ABT Exhaust sound xD

Videos and pictures do no justice for the real deal! ‪Polo 6R Sound von Abt Endschaldämpfer (ESD) Sportauspuff 1.2 MPI‬&rlm; - YouTube

How much did the ABT cost? probably cheaper to trade upto a GTI lol!

I haven't looked under ours but I'm guessing there has to be a centre muffler or something similar which any exhaust shop should be able to replace with a straight bit of pipe for more sound?
