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?

When you say stock, if you mean stock sounding then the bigger front silencer would probably suit you better.
My car is still a GTI by the way, it's just an R32 rear bumper and R32 'style' exhaust. It's no louder than the equivalent exhaust with the twin side exit (GTI style) to my knowledge.
You should really try and listen to a Powervalve in the flesh and decide whether you'd prefer it quiter/louder etc. What I find quiet another person might find a bit loud.

Powervalve all day long! Don't waste your money on anything else! Quality of build is the best I've seen and sounds so sweet on and off boost!
If you're going K04 I've got a one and S3 injectors and BSH engine mounts if interested PM me.

That's true. I might just pop over there and see what's what since it's so close.
Sometimes it's kinda difficult to tell with videos etc :)

Just got mine fitted @AJP. :jumpmove: :jumpmove: :jumpmove:
f*cking immense to be honest, love how subtle it is off boost but comes alive on the throttle. I was really worried when choosing a system it'd sound like a vauxhall nova. Not specifically Powervalve, just had some pretty droney ones in the past.
I had nothing to worry about at all. I was pretty speechless during the test drive, the co-owner Dale (I think) was so full of knowledge, I just soaked it all in.
Thanks for the recommendation, so happy!
AJP:
Excellent. They're cracking exhausts. I've yet to hear a bad word about them and expect that to remain the case!
