NEW RS169 - Turbo Yoda the Skoda!!

[Tigger]

Can't wait to hear it mate!!

Turbo Yoda, is now just over a week old. I had the entire car Coated with Always Dry self healing Ceramic Coating, it looks sensational, really happy, also had the interior and glass done, the best is the wheels, Euro cars always suffer from huge amounts of brake dust, this coating doesn't let it attach to the wheels, it just falls off when your driving...amazing.

I also had the Vibrant Resonator fitted first thing Saturday morning. There's not a big difference in sound, but it should get a bit deeper as it beds in.

Here's a quick video including a before and after of the exhaust:

What does the stock Pipe look like?
Triangle or was it a cylinder.
The old RS220/RS162 has a Triangle, where as my RS230 (with diff) has a short cylinder.
I get Farts (Manual car) all the time if I roll off the throttle at a certain rate, helps when your running more boost too

Here's a couple of pics of the install and the old resonator.


Sorry, the pics have been spun around when uploaded for some reason and are now out of order.

Yea ok, so the Triangle, same set up at the RS162, thus no sound.
You'll love this set up mate.

It's very subtle so far, my wife couldn't tell the difference...which she was happy about.
Ironically, I have only driven it home after the install. Was at GABS on Saturday...so had a bit of a lazy day yesterday.

It'll go on it's first long drive this weekend, we're going on a camping trip to Hill End over the long weekend. I can't wait to stretch it's legs.

Thanks for the update mate!
So are you happy with the install job?
Where did you get it done?

[TurboYodaSkoda]

Yep, install was top notch, took about 1.5hrs.

It was done at Fast fit at Leichhardt on Parramatta Road.

Great update mate

Now I’m tempted to do this exhaust mod myself!

Was the resonator recommended by other owners or specifically for VAG cars?

Keen to hear how it now sounds in sport mode

[TurboYodaSkoda]

It seems like there are a lot of RS owners doing this exact mod. which is why I went with it.

I'm hoping it gets a bit louder with time, it's maybe a little too subtle for my taste.

Sport mode just uses the interior Soundakator which makes it sound like a 'fully-sick' WRX on the inside.

I'll see how this goes, I may end up with a full cat back in the end, I wouldn't mind a switchable one if possible, so I can make it quite on long drives with the 'fam' and then open it up when I having a drive by myself.
