Anyone else been checking in daily to see if the exhaust sounds are loaded up? haha- no pressure Hicks! - Actually there is an exhaust thread on this forum, maybe load the vids up there when available?

Sorry guys, I ended up going away last weekend and couldn’t get it done. Sorry for the lack of update. I’m filming/recording today so you will hear it very soon! The lowering springs also went in and they are nice, very subtle but just makes the slightest difference closing the wheel arch spaces a bit better. Ride is minimally firmer, I only notice it if going over a speed bump, just need to take those a bit slower. Also any dip (eg driveways) they need to be taken a tiny bit slower too or the front bar scrapes (only minor). I’ll hopefully have the recording up soon

If the intake is the same as the Mk7 R/GTI, you can cut the blanking out also.

Theres a few OBDeleven performance mods you can do, looks like you've done the Throttle mod, there is also a couple of Diff mods.

Check out my timeline, might a be a couple of things you can do
JB4 is a cheap and easy unit to add power, remove before dealer visits and they wont know

Having some strong wind/minor showers ruining my attempts for any quality today 😡

Hey guys, just threw the video on youtube. Link - YouTube
I had some real issues getting the sound quality right so the quality of this is not that good. With the wind issues I also had a deadcat on the mic for the after recordings. I will be doing a much better video in the coming weeks so I will keep you posted. It really needs a better mic and also some vehicle mounted mics as this hasn't picked it up all that great. Mic db settings were much lower for the after as it was causing some crazy distortion.

What an improvement!

I'm sure it sounds even better in person.

One question tho, when not in Sports mode is it more sedate?
