Toph Posted September 23, 2022 Report Share Posted September 23, 2022 I’ve got a VAG SPORT Res delete that’s going onto my 2017 MK7.5 but wondered what others have done to get a better exhaust note on a standard system. I don’t want a decat, but I’m guessing a down pipe? anyone else run these combos? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Gus Fring Posted September 23, 2022 Report Share Posted September 23, 2022 The only thing you can do is a sports cat if you want to stay road legal etc etc, aside from the resonator delete (which is definitely the best budget option) the reality is you’ll just end up causing a load of annoying drone. Even with full aftermarket systems as good as the R is overall, it won’t ever sound great. Toph 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
gregozedobe Posted September 23, 2022 Report Share Posted September 23, 2022 Remember to budget for an ECU tune if fitting an aftermarket downpipe (regardless of whether it has a cat or is catless). Not many people think that R's exhausts sound really "good", although quite a few seem to think Loud = Good. Toph 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TheBlondeFella Posted September 23, 2022 Report Share Posted September 23, 2022 Try PCW exhausts. He removes the internals for the rear OE box to create a better sound and supposedly a little more power. Toph 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Bodyboarder81 Posted September 23, 2022 Report Share Posted September 23, 2022 The fundamental truth is that the R’s sound crap whatever system you have …. Even the mighty akro ( to my ears anyway ) sounds like a angry wasp that needs start lifting some weights … id probably still have an akro though … just for scene points 😬😂 Booth11, gregozedobe and Toph 1 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
nige bcs Posted September 24, 2022 Report Share Posted September 24, 2022 (edited) The brand new Powervalve REV III centre delete goes a long way to improving the stock note... ...the new design allows the flaps to be coded open full time whilst still removing all the drone associated with this mod 😉 Cheers Nige BCS Powervalve Edited October 7, 2022 by nige bcs Adding images mp2811 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
WHY.A.H.WHY.A Posted September 24, 2022 Report Share Posted September 24, 2022 Check my post Here, its my custom exhaust based on the OEM Catback. The only thing that i have done after that post is installed a downpipe which didn't change the tone by much. Wait also to install BCS Res delete that i got a few months back..

Also, is there an option to reduce egts but without extra noise from standard? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mp2811 Posted September 26, 2022 Report Share Posted September 26, 2022 I run the BCS DP with their res delete on stage 2 software and it's great exhust note for value and minimal drone at all. Theirs has the special design to prevent it. It can be a little loud when revs sitting around 3k rpm but for me that's very rare as at 100km/h revs lower than that. Not sure if on motway in UK etc what your car would sit on in 6th gear. The 7sp would be better for those conditions. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
