Just a quick question please. I notice that a few on here have had aftermarket exhaust systems fitted to their GTD's, which I am also considering. Mine is the non sport and sound pack, so doesn't have in inbuilt speaker, and therefore has a rear box.
I've always preferred the GTI style outlets on each side to the twin same side set-up that the GTD and nearly every other MK7 has, but a number of the systems I've looked at don't have rear silencers (or any for that matter). I'm considering this only for looks (not performance), but don't want to ruin the refinement the car has on the motorway, so whilst a nice rasp on pulling sharply away would be welcome, when cruising, I need a quiet system similar to stock.
For these "unresonated" systems without silencers, are they really much louder than stock and become boomy and tiresome after a bit, or as I've read that the DPF strangles most of the sound anyway, and the rest of the exhaust (resonated or non-resonated) doesn't make much of a difference ?
