Downpipe, res delete or muffler delete ?

LachlanGordon

Ready to race!
Hi all, I currently have a Muffler delete and a res delete on my GTI. I’m putting the downpipe on tomorrow. My question is, I know it’ll be too loud to keep the res and muffler delete, so do I put back on the muffler or the resonator ? Trying to go for the least tractor like noise possible with the most pops and crackles.

Thanks in advance.

I would put them both back on.

I would put the muffler back on but replace the stock res with a Vibrant 17930

Even better. I also replaced my stock muffler to save more weight. Just pick the type of muffler you like for the tone and price you want to pay and have a custom catback for ~300.00 installed (USD). This would likely give the OP the exhaust volume\tone he is looking for and keep some of the weight savings in the process.
