APR Dump pipe stage 2 noise

[MGT]

Thanks for all the input lads, sounds like DP only to go with stage 2 tune will be the go.

Can anyone compare this setup noise wise to say a Golf R, ideally this is the level of noise throatiness I'm after.

The DP will give you performance upgrade (~10kW) once you get the stage 2 tune file. Actually you'll need the tune file anyway otherwise you can get fault lights on the dash from the O2 sensor.

If you want Golf R noise you'll need a new cat-back exhaust. I've gone with a non-resonated system. It is loud and personally is a bit of a pain in city traffic, but when you're going for an enthusiastic drive through the hills is absolutely fantastic. Great noise, DSG farts, the lot...

Compared to the stock exhaust which is dead quiet in comparison (i.e. no DSG farts and minimal exhaust note). This is in the Tig but I imagine the Octavia is probably not that different in terms of stock exhaust note.

What you really want is a bi-modal system so that you can switch in/out a centre muffler/resonator. That way you get to choose a relatively quiet system for city driving and a louder system when you want it.

Not sure what's available off the shelf for the Octy... I'm doing some test fits for Tig exhausts for one of the local tuners.

APR's RSC exhausts achieve this perfectly - its the whole reason why i got it.

for an off the shelf solution - the one that fits on the mk5 jetta also fits the octavia. no modification required - bolt on.
part no. is FE100021.

great noise and farts

I assume this is for the Occy Sedan only and wouldn't fit the Wagon?

Not sure about it fitting the wagon - I haven't enquired.
I think it will, as I wouldn't have thought there is any difference in the under-body floor plan between the liftback & wagon.

Ok spoke to some APR dealers today and sounds like APR dump pipe with Stage 2 will give me exactly what I want as far as noise and performance goes. Little to no difference in noise when driven softly but when on step will be more throaty, no more than say the level of the Golf R.

Thanks for everyones input, just got to go and get it done now! Service is due now so after that is done off to APR!

Probably best to take it in stages anyway. Put the DP on and see how you like it. Then you can decide whether to put the cat-back section on if you still feel the need for a louder exhaust note.

The left hand side is a pain to install on a DSG car,
you have to unbolt the gearbox and lift it to clear one bolt

I've got it on my wagon - not a lot of overlap in the join but just fits ok
