Downpipe with OEM+ exhaust?

So I've got a Clubsport S backbox on the original exhaust, I'm thinking about getting a remap maybe Revo. Alongside this I was thinking of getting a down pipe as it will add a bit more power and hopefully sound better with the stock exhaust and Clubsport S,
Is it a stupid idea though, do people normally recommend a full turboback?

And would it be stupidly loud with that set up?
looking at APR or Cobra dp

You’d probably want a Vibrant 17950 resonator to replace the factory one as well
Will that just reduce the drone? Just had a little look, they're not too expensive [emoji16]

Reduce drone, deepen the exhaust note, eliminate raspiness.

Only downside is you’ll lose some dsg farts if applicable and some crackles.

DSG farts not applicable here mate sadly but crackles would be nice. Can you recommend a DP?

You’ll still have some pops and crackles but unfortunately there’s no way to be Drone Free AND have the most pops and crackles possible. You can tune them in, but I wouldn’t suggest it

As for a downpipe suggestion, I build and sell 304L Stainless catted downpipes https://www.golfmk7.com/forums/showthread.php?t=42648

Id much rather sacrifice crackles for drone free tbh. Will that resonator make it pretty much drone free?

Since I wrote this thread https://www.golfmk7.com/forums/showthread.php?t=33309 over a year ago I’ve installed about a dozen of these on various set ups with great results and zero drone. The Vibrant 17950 has become synonymous with mk7 drone elimination. The above thread has 64,000+ views with dozens of great reviews and results.

My YouTube channel below as well as some others have video reviews of the results as well. It works flawlessly
