Best exhaust system for gti

I don't mind a bit of extra noise but I really detest drone, and by the sounds of it, this system is free of it.
And your like looks bloody nice to boot!

Thanks mate.
You can make it even more refined with the larger 'Prestige' front silencer. I did consider this myself but I'm happy I went with the Sport silencer. Like I said, it's a really nice sound, and to me it gets better the more power you're running.
I genuinely think it's the best mod I've done. Lots of people say a remap is the best mod they've done, but I don't really class the map as a mod in the same way, as for me the map is always changing as I uprate the hardware and it's only ever facilitating a particular hardware setup. Remap a car with a bad exhaust and the resulting map will never be as good as it would be with a good exhaust. The map reflects the hardware.
As a physical upgrade it's as good as it gets. However, I may be forced to review that when it's time for a k04

I meant to say your car looks nice! Had a bit of keyboard moment there!
The prestige package sounds more like me. Do you have to have the power valve thing? I'm not really into all that, just a basic exhaust would do me :smiley:
You're all set for captain KO4 then mate! Got the exhaust flow, got the fuel flow.....just need the snail now :happy2:

You can have either Prestige or Sport with or without the valve. Without the valve is a bit less money. I went for the valved version. I'm not sure how loud or quiet one of their non-valved systems is so it's probably a good idea to get a ride in a car with the setup you think you'd like to make sure.
And cheers, I'm quite happy with how it's looking now. Just need a few extra bits like R32/ed30 rear lights, xenons etc.
As for the k04, yes I'm pretty much there. I've got some mk7 Clubsport/PP (same as mk7 R) calipers to go on soon, and I need to decide on an intercooler upgrade (probably just S3) and I'll be ready. My to-do list never seems to get any smaller though!
FJ1000:
I've just fitted an R32 style non-valved sport system with 100 cell cat to the golf (bought used from a forum member). It'd be interesting to see if it has given any performance benefit (I can't tell to be honest), but it certainly gives the exhaust sound a deeper tone. Even though this is going to be one of the louder options, I still don't think it's all that loud (but then maybe I'm biased as my other car is crazy loud!! )

@AJP - thanks mate, really appreciate you taking the time to write that up - it's invaluable.
With them being so close I'm going to have to give it a go I think.
I want something quite stock, but thinking with the GTI setup it might be a bit quieter than your R32 setup @AJP?
