I still really really need to get with my buddy and make some nice sound clips for everyone. Weather has had me down a bit and he has been working a different shift. Sorry....
If we can assume that the differences, if any, between CSS/CS mufflers and CSS/GTI resonators are negligible for comparison's sake, then the only outliers are the NA/ROW engines and the CS resonator. Only way to further narrow this down would be for some in NA to get the same CS setup to compare.
I don't find feher's setup to be quite as offensive. Therefore I can assume that the CS resonator helps with the exhaust note on non-clubsport/s cars. We have to remember that clubsport/s cars have different ECU map, specifically tuned along with the clubsport exhaust systems to create the nice sounds it has. GTI of course lacks this, and as a result does not sound as good even with a CSS muffler. A stock GTI sounds better than with a CSS muffler tacked on, to my ears.
But I guess if you are in the camp of people to love fart cars and the ricey sound, then you probably can't distinguish this anyway. For those with more discerning tastes, there are definitely better options.
Would you now? Glad I have your permission to mod as I see fit. Thank goodness.Just go back a few pages and read my posts. No need to repeat what I've stated and expounded on many times already to spam this thread.
If I heard a GTI with a CSS muffler on the road, I would laugh in your face. But it is your car, not mine. You are free to do with it as you wish.

He has been trolling all along. Come on guys. Just leave him alone.
I just noticed that the first photo of this thread shows a muffler with a sticker that says "Made in Spain" on it, mine, identical sticker and parts tag, said "Made in Germany". It was also very fresh looking.

Did yours have anything on the sticker to suggest the date it was made? Mine had 20161212, which I guess means 12/12/2016...

So Remus?
4 pipe?
My only issue with that is I do not want 4 pipes.
Four pipes is what the R design is and I have a GTI.
I know Remus makes a 2 pipe but I question if sound is better than most.
The Remus muffler is smaller than stock and I think smaller does not have as rich a sound unless stock resonator is left in place.
I think we forget the sound of a 4 cylinder does not change as much from one type to another. To most non GTI, R and Golf owners they just sound like a 4 cylinder. So to call one ricer is not worth much as to most they are all ricer on a 4 cylinder.
Your last two posts replying to the question of what exhausts you like could have been answered much faster and with fewer words than you chose to say. Heck you could have quoted yourself.Again, I'm sorry you feel offended about the way your car sounds. I think it sounds like crap and there are much better options, but hey I'm just repeating myself here. Carry on.

He has a opinion of what he likes and doesn't like... How is that trolling?He has been trolling all along. Come on guys. Just leave him alone.
