I think what it really boils down to is that GTI drivers are lumped into the same category as WRX drivers, which most people see as douchebags. They think of them as the kind of people who sit at their local Sheetz/Wawa for hours and rev their engines. They pull up beside your stock car on the interstate and ride even with you revving to try and get you to race. The average 20some year old "kid" who "thinks their car is fast." These aren't the type of people who really get complimented on their car. Not saying a GLI is any better, or that it even deserves to be complimented. Just saying the GTI is most likely just viewed as a "douchebag car" by the majority of people.
I think the MK7 GTI is still a little to expensive to be a complete douche car. In Toronto, I have not seen anyone under their late 20's in one.I think what it really boils down to is that GTI drivers are lumped into the same category as WRX drivers, which most people see as douchebags.

Yup stock dp. No plans on swapping it out cuz CA be gay like that.Are you on the stock downpipe?
I think that's also what makes it very hard to get someone's opinion of a "good sounding" exhaust. Because it's not something that's quantifiable, it's all subjective. The first exhaust I bought was the Rev9 because I didn't want to spend a lot of money, and dear god was it the worse sounding thing I've ever heard. Yet I've seen people with it go "Oh man this is awesome sounding!". Video clips are better, but still can be hard to judge. A cell phone or GoPro microphone isn't going to sound identically to how it does in real life, but is better than just someone's opinion at least.
EpicWith this car it’s actually something that happens often where random and various people compliment the car and want to hear about it. And I love the opportunity to pop the hatch and geek out explaining all the crap on the car that to a none GTI person can’t pinpoint why it’s subtly unique to others on the road

Yeah I agree. Blows my mind when hit Bois on YouTube think a straight piped GTI sounds good. Ok that note, AWE touring sounds awesome but then again, I've only heard it in videos.
truthAny car looks better bagged.
