Picked mine up from the panel beater after my incident running out of clearance with the car in front. Not entirely happy. I was paranoid about the detailer putting swirl marks all over it but that hasnt happened so thats a win. But the top of the lip spoiler doesnt quite sit flush with the bumper anymore. Its only 2mm gap at most, but that looks a long way off unfortunately

Still... I am so glad to get out of the ****box hyundai hire car. An auto Accent is horrible in every way possible except for bootspace I never knew how much of a car snob I had become. Its awesome to be back in a car with throttle response, steer response, cruise control, climate control, rain sensing wipers, head rests that dont push your head uncomfortably forward without excessively reclining the seats back like a knob.

Ugh, got off the phone from Gold Coast VW for the Polos 1st year service today.

He called the resonator delete an illegal modification and could potentially void my warranty, using back pressure as an excuse.
Good luck proving that.

Needless to say I dont think I'll be getting my next service there.

HAHAHAHA YEP PISS THAT DEALER OFF!

What a joke that is! if you look at the inside of the resonator you will see its a 100% straight through hot dog which is why a resi delete will not give you any performance gains.

By replacing it with a straight pipe it doesn't change anything. I would say removing the rear exhaust would effect back pressure more but even then it would be less back pressure and would breathe slightly better.

In a nut shell the guys are full of sh*t. I have retrofitted xenons, fog lights, rear delete, you name it and my service guys don't lift an eyebrow

Not on the GTI it's not, it's an actual muffler, the same as the rear. In defense of the dealership, it is actually an illegal modification in regards to emissions but with these cars pumping as much NO into the atmosphere as they do they would fail regardless and as for noise, the dB count wouldn't be much higher than stock.

In criticism of the dealership flog now ( Gold Cost Volkswagen ) hopefully this turns up if someone searches from the dealership. Back pressure in a forced induction engine, especially a supercharged engine is BAD. The manufacturers control it to an extent as a source of output restriction and faster turbo spooling but in this engine especially, as little back pressure as possible should be the goal. Back pressure can also cause turbine blades to stall and cause fluttering and that is a great way to destroy a turbo.

Gavs, they also noted it as an illegal modification on my invoice, then then tried to tell it'd cost $2800 to bring back to spec. Can you think of any actual law this violates?


Either way, I wouldn't mind upgrading to a better exhaust system and stay on the safe side. HP's looks like the best option since their is properly test and conforms to all the regulations. Having their HQ in Brisbane helps too.
