My glassy MK5
Octoparrot:
I remember watching the detailing transformation and it was amazing how much better the paintwork looked.

I can’t promise to keep it perfect, I’m trying to two bucket method and leaf blow drying it but swirls are starting to appear slightly!
Although I can always return to them for a maintenance detail, which I may do.

Yes - I too also wondered if it would appear here.
I remember the episode where he got the Cobra system fitted - this really interested as mine came with the same noisy non-res Cobra cat back - nearly fell off my seat when he said it was just right on the motorway!
Mine was so bad, motorway was just drone, my family could hear the Golf 1/2 a mile away & it scared old people!
My fix - I didn't try Cobra directly, I took it to a local specialist and had to get a silencer welded in.
To be fair, it wasn't till I replaced the downpipe that I found the OEM downpipe flexi was blowing - not helping the noise.
I would stay fix what you have - the DSG farts are great, a downpipe releases over run pops too - loud when you want it.
The detail it got was mad - you need to keep to try maintain that.
