Not sure what exhaust it has, but its so quiet on a cruise but awesome on WOT. Almost like there's a valve in the system. Then the AST coilovers have an awesome ride quality. The dsg feels quicker than mine as well
Big big fan of this car.

Its a VWR exhaust with a flapper valve, it opens at about 3900 RPM's.

So thats like the BCS version (They call it "Epic", going to have a listen next time im up near St Helens as in the market for TBE in the next few months), wonder of VWR make it themselves or buy BCS system, re-label it and add on 50% :P

I've got Markymarks pal also called 'mark' bringing his Scirocco R in to us in a couple of weeks to develop the BCS 'Epic' system - he's currently running a VW R system - but is not a happy bunny, so hopefully we'll be able to demonstrate clear benefits and results shortly.
I took Ken out in our demo Gti on Saturday while we were fitting his system and he was gob smacked!!

If we can get some clips of the exhaust note, I would be interested to hear it as im currently stashing money to one side each week ready for stage 2 in May (just got to get the cambelt service and cam follower done before I start modding). Then its stage 1 re-map followed shortly by a TBE exhaust (Hopefully the BCS Epic as long as its nice n quiet on pootling duty and a bit more raspy on WOT) and intake system followed by map tweaks to stage 2.

Great ! :happy2:
Sound levels are virtually OEM until the car comes on boost - then all hell cuts loose ! both power and sound. This makes the 5 fantastic to drive as none of the low down torque is sacrificed, and it only produces its sports tone under load - and as it's valve controlled all of this happens progressively :jumpmove:
Cheers
