Tiguan Exhaust

[TIG162R]

My experience with having installed a MK7.5 R muffler with valves open is that the first week it droned like a mofo, but then mellowed out a bit after 1 week of driving. It has mellowed out even more now after driving for a couple of months to the point that there is hardly any drone. Try to persevere through the drone for a few months & see how it goes if you fit the muffler....

So no one has successfully installed a method to control the valves. I'll defo need to sort this out as I want to be able to control the hooliganism lol!

Could it be that you have just got used to the drone?

No chance, the drone in the first week was deafening, to the point I was thinking of putting the resonator back on. The wife has even noticed that the drone has improved significantly.

If the R muffler was used then the carbon buildup would have already been there so drone would not get less over time?

Its an MK7.5 R muffler which only had about 1000 kms done on it. I also have the resonator delete. I dont know how or why but it has definitely toned itself down.
