Who has an R36?

Thanks for that. Hmm might have yo look them up for the CAI kit too..

Don't forget that DNA Tuning have a tune for the R36 engine. They are a sponsor on this forum and they have a thread in their area with details on the R36 tune. Cost is around $800.

I have a DNA tune on my Golf R and it rocks, excellent bank for your buck.

My friend's B6 Passat V6 4Motion sounds louder than my R36. Now you know something is wrong when that is the case. Lol

Each to their own I guess....for me - it needs to be louder. Have you ever stood behind one when it takes off - it's surprising how quiet it is - I didn't believe it till I did it. I have heard a few with cat-back exhausts and the sound is perfect – a really great note – it almost sounds a little like a V8. I know I have had to be careful when choosing which one I will go with as some of them have been described as too loud or have drone tendencies.

I think you would have to admit when compared with the Golf R32 or R, or even cars like a BMW 335i – the R36 is noticeably quieter. My mate has a Golf R and when we take off together at the lights the R drowns out the R36.

I picked mine up a week or so ago.
Biscay blue 08 wagon.

it is stock at the moment, but I will be liberating some noise soon.
I've been looking at springs/wheels, but the OEM setup is pretty hard to fault.

What you planing to do exhaust wise and with who in Perth?

The two rear back boxes are going to be replaced with 3" stainless pipes at c-red in beckenham.
They work on my S15 track car, so I have faith in the work they do

They have suggested making it detachable via flanges so the OEM boxes can go back on if needed without too much effort.
I'll hopefully have some before/after clips to see if is an approach that could work for others.
