Res delete

[The Daily Meme]

This. This. And so much this.
As an owner of a 1.4 with a backbox and res delete, just do away with the backbox. I'll be adding my res back soon as the drone is rather irritating.

Wow that sounds hideous. I have a 1.8 TSI and dread to think what a back box AND res delete would sound like on that.

Ouch.
It sounds better in person, my phone makes it sound like someone is blowing through a can.

My brother has a res delete M140i and everyone says it sounds like a bag of spanners when it starts. It really deos sound grim.
Worse than that video. I agree phone audio makes things sound worse but the exhaust you have seems to be roaring ALL the time. Ideally I would want a low rumble at low revs, I don't think that is acheiveable with a 2 litre though.

Pops, Bangs and crackles are great, but without that throaty rumble to back it up, it sounds a bit forced.

I went to a mechanic to have the res deleted and he told me that deleting the res will **** up the back box and it might start sounding like a empty tin can.

I can confirm both statements are nonsense. New mechanic required.

Res delete on hatcback and res delete on ST is sounding different, as the rear part is different. For me, i didnt like the res delete on ST as it DID sound like a empty tin on certain rpm and with the cold exhaust.
Using Golf rear part or modding the stock mufflers inside to match the Golf ones are the best-bang-for-the-buck mod to ST exhaust.

I think with Golf rear backbox it should sound similar to oem ST. I ll try delete backbox with dual rs3 tips , and thats all
