Do you mean if you had a GTI car, you would not upgrade to a CS car just for the sound? Because I would not either.
Or do you mean if you had a GTI car, you would not upgrade to a CS muffler? Because we don't know how that sounds yet.
Given all the info from B.B. and Matt, if I were you and had a CS, I would look into upgrading the resonator to a GTI/CSS one too for more sound.
Quoting myself:
That pretty much says it all:
No acceleration at lower speeds - most noise is tires.
No acceleration at higher speeds - most is wind noise.
Currently I own a CS and have owned a GTI so I know what both stock systems sound like.
I'm saying that if I owned a GTI still. I wouldn't pay money to achieve this " CS CS" sound that I now have due to owning a CS (make sense?). My personal opinion for my personal tastes is that it's not a dramatic enough of a difference. But perhaps CS + GTI res is. Liking the idea of the insert.
That would be above and beyond, Matt. And very much appreciated, once again. Very considerate of you. If you could find the time, please do. We'd all be curious as to what they'd have to say. Cheers.
Not good news, I'm afraid. I got in touch with a UK VW main dealer this morning, they confirmed the parts, as in the CSS Muffler 5G6253609DD and the CSS Resonator 5Q0253209HF, are VIN Locked. The lead time they quoted, if you have proof of ownership, is 14-21 days, so I would think it would be logical to assume that if you have a pending order which doesn't get dispatched to you within the next 3 weeks, it won't be fulfilled.
Sorry guys
Can we work out some sort of timeline? Seeing as cars245 removed the muffler from their site a couple of weeks ago, who has ordered from cars245 and is still waiting? When did you order?
